Friends With Benefits: When He Has A Girlfriend

She catches feelings and forgets the golden rule of FWBs: Mind-blowing sex, and then you go your separate ways.
In extreme cases, the woman may believe that if she works hard and loves even harder, she will receive a promotion from “friend” to “girlfriend.”
