How do you go about asking someone to be friends with benefits?

I don't want someone to take it the wrong way or ask the wrong person. I've literally never done it before so I dont know where to look

I think the asking is the easy part; stopping the other person from getting feelings is the difficult part. Some people just can’t stop themselves.

It has happened several times for me when women and I were physically attracted to each other but didn’t want long term relationships. That is what was stressed, not wanting it to be long term. Mostly it worked well and I had some of the best sex of my life.

I’m with you. Would not be easy. I would be afraid to lose the friendship and I don’t have many friends

that is a hard question .. some by just being around like in a gym or park . here it is not the same .. just find a like mindset and dont give out any thing you do not want to be used against you . does that help ?

If the person hasn’t formally asked you to be their gf or bf, then you’re a FWBs automatically…assuming you both are already intimate. Otherwise it’s weird, because why would I ask someone I am not sexually intimate with to be my FWB? I would be weirded out if someone asked me that out of the blue.

You have to complete a long winded form of 15 pages with details of your past history, your current income and exactly why you want to apply.
Be warned, there is a 1 year backlog of applications.

Usually it just happens. If it’s a guy he will not say no no matter how you ask. If he does then hes prob playing for a different team if you know what I mean.
@DoubleRings Or! .. we could just have higher needs and/or morals. 💡
@Magicianzini not impossible but also not likely. No offence.
@DoubleRings I'm sorry your life experiences have left you with this perception. It's unfortunate.

I could be your friend with benefits 🙂

Have a respectful, honest conversation!

It kind of just happens usually. You start off friends, and over time you can exchange favors what ever it is.

What compliment it would be to be asked

I don’t think there is a guidebook on this.

You never ask, it just happens & you go with it 🤷

Quite easy really ... try and create a situation, either in a cafe or coffee shop ... whether in a bunch of people or one on one with the person

Then this where your skill at communicating comes in, aim the conversation towards THAT final outcome, if you're subtle enough about it, the person won't pick up what you're get'n, but in turn you'll know if they're up for it ... so the hardest part of is over

... then the other 'hard' 🤭🤭🤭 part just happens naturally
I don't... that doesn't interest me at all.

Ask him for a "Summary of Benefits" brochure.

Yet make sure it is open season for his plan.

Show up naked and bring beer. He will get the hint. 🤪 Other than that I have no idea.

Just be blunt (if you are a woman)
Choose carefully and negotiate terms
