A good friend is hard to find. A good friend with benefits is even harder to
find.
This is a grey area for a lot of people. Sex without dating is pretty great, but it is
not the greatest thing ever. Real dating
gets you a plus one invitation and a built in companion to the opera and Sunday
family dinners. A FWB gets you laid on
the weekend and the occasional weeknight.
It is easier to transition a friend to a FWB than it is to
transition someone who you have gone on a few dates with. When dating comes first, the expectations
will always be different for at least one of you. Someone who has a crush on you does not make
a beneficial friend.
I think that access to this friend can keep you from making
dumb decisions with other men or women. The
FWB is a placeholder, but they are taking one of the more pleasant spot
available in your life.
If the friend makes you sleep in the unheated attic playroom
because there is a king sized bed there, but refuses to share body heat during
the night, keep looking.
