    Hi @RoseUpshur

     

    Friends with benefits works best when both people decide they want no strings attached sex, and nothing more (e.g. no romantic relationship). You are right though that sometimes when people have different expectations and haven’t communicated these feelings properly, it can lead to hoping for one thing and ending up with something different, and this can sometimes lead to disappointment.

    not only with lovers must be consistent. but with friends also must be consistent. how we manage a feeling must be consistent so that what has been done is not getting worse.
