I have found that if you are just friends with someone you can always get the best out of the both of you and have other friends which do the same, as soon as you take it further it starts to become hard work.

@Justenjoyit That's ok if you don't have traditional values.
I understand the concept but I personally couldn't do it. My feeling would be hurt.
Relationships are work unfortunately. It takes work to build trust and be vulnerable.

@REMsleep Because I am a very capable person, I have yet to meet anyone who can bring something to the table other than their needs and problems.
