With no doubt that the dating style varies from one quick flirt relationship to another. That is to say, the efforts they make to their relationships maybe not suit you. Therefore, you had better make a deep conversation with your friend. Putting all of these things on the table is much better than being bothered by them later. Maybe you will feel a little bit awkward for you are not accustomed to it but it is indispensable for a comfortable and positive FWB relationship. Only when you know things you should do and avoid can you manage a healthy relationship.
1. You should keep communicating and respecting your friend
After you experience one or two failed FWB relationships, you may know that the key, communication and respect, to a successful NSA relationship are just the same as other relationships. Though this newly sprouting relationship is different and unique, it still needs respect. When you feel uncomfortable in this relationship, you need to make it known by your friend before this feeling becomes stronger.
At the beginning of this relationship, you should make it public what you are seeking and what you are looking forward to. With time passing by, you will know the benefits of communication. Only if both sides are on the same page can this relationship run smoothly and in the right direction. In most cases, people will make mistakes when their efforts are not rewarded.
2. Don’t expect commitments
You must know the major distinction of a FWB relationship and other types of relationships which is that commitments are impossible for a healthy FWB relationship. In such a relationship, even though you are keeping in touch with one of your like-minded friends, he or she may still hunt for romantic relationships with others. You shouldn’t ask for commitments in such a relationship because this is a consensus both of you have reached at the beginning.
3. Loyalty is not associated with a NSA relationship
Don’t expect to establish a formal dating relationship with your FWB and require him not to talk with others. You should know it is possible that you are not his only one. For him, maybe you are just a person from whom he can gain the sexual enjoyment. Keep this point in mind that, when you see him posting his photos with other girls on the social media, you are supposed to suppress your jealousy because you have not right to question him or even envying this girl. You should keep in mind that you are in a cooperation relationship. And you should prepare that he may leave you when he has a better choice. Likewise, when another person catches your interest, you can also shift your attention to this guy.
