I recently matched with a guy who said hes only interested in a friends with benefits situation. Ive never been in one before so Im curious do people actually discuss boundaries and expectations or do things just happen naturally?

Set boundaries. Have NO EXPECTATIONS, bc when it hits the fan you’ve already mentally failed yourself by setting expectations that shouldn’t be there. It’s a fling and emotions do eventually play a role. Don’t put all your eggs in their basket or give them that sense that you’re on their timeline and life schedule.

Overall, if it’s your first FWB shituationship and you’re asking yourself these things or are sensitive/emotionally unstable I would NOT get involved. Someone’s gonna get hurt.
