A friend of mine came over the other day and we had some drinks. Somewhere between our last glass of wine and first glass of vodka, we decided to list out some of the rules of engagement of a fuck buddy.
Before anything else, here's my definition of a fuck buddy. Someone you are not friends with, at least not in the traditional sense. So if you hang out or chill with this person, he/she doesn't qualify. Neither should a fuck buddy be associated with friends with benefits - these are friends you enjoy spending time with and have sex occasionally.
Invariably, it took a while the next day to decipher our scribblings, but alas I managed to do so and here they are.
Not a relationship
By any stretch, if you are looking to recruit a FB, you have to be certain that you are not looking for a relationship. If you have just come out of a failed one, that's probably the worse time to search for a FB because your emotions will not be able to tell the difference between a new relationship or a FB liaison. Your mind has to be straight when you decide that you want a FB. There is always the risk of falling for a FB so you have to also ask yourself what you would do if such a thing occurs. Always plan ahead. My advice is never the twain should meet.
Clingy dingy
A clingy anything is always a turn off. So expect a clingy fuck buddy to not be worth your energy or time. You are in it to gain pleasure and a wonderful release, not baggage that will leave a bad aftertaste. You want him/her for sex and lines should be drawn way before you get naked. This way, in case you get into a serious relationship, it can be easily broken off. Believe me, it may sound cold and harsh but you will thank me for it. Of course it does not mean you have to be treated or treat your FB like dirt. Mutual respect goes a long way.
Draw the lines
Speaking of drawing the lines, a FB is not someone you share intimate dinners or go on dates with. The only thing you should be eating is each other. A drink before your activities begin is fine but I try not to, at least not in the open.You don't want to have any desire to call them for a casual conversation. In fact, they should not even show up on your social radar.
In and out
No sleepovers. That's how it works. If you want the association to be a pleasant one, then you better not want to wake up in the morning with your FB beside you. The is the perfect recipe for spoiling the thrill of the FB phenomenon. Besides, everyone will be tempted to cuddle up in the morning and this might be open to wrong interpretations and second guessing, and thus complicate matters. End the night in your bed alone.
Gag orders
Always keep your FB a secret.The best kinds are the ones who don't kiss and tell or post in on their blogs or on Facebook. You want to avoid them. No reason to have the world know about what you are up to for recreation. Besides, when its all cloak and dagger, its more exciting. Text messages are fine to arrange your liaisons.
