Friends with Benefits Part II


People have asked me to clarify what some rules are for a friendship with benefits. 

I cannot stress enough: This is not a stand-in boyfriend/girlfriend. 
You do not take them to weddings, office parties, or birthday parties. 
The only time they may meet your friends is if they are picking you up from the bar.  Even then, contact should be limited. 
Eat before you meet.  Dinner is rarely had together unless you have not eaten all day and need a cowboy burger to have the energy necessary for later.

There is no breakfast in the morning.  You can pick up coffee on your way home.  However a bottle of Gatorade is acceptable to swipe from the fridge.

Weeknight rendez-vous are for desperate times and should not be a habit. 

No regular patterns for visits should be established.
Text with a purpose. Do not just text to say hello, be ready to get together once you start the conversation.
The gag order that comes with marriage or a LTR does not apply.
You guys are friends.  Treat each other as such.  Do not be an asshole.  Do not be a bitch.  

Follow these rules and things should be fine.  If you have other rules to add to the list, put them below in the comments.
