Hooking up between adults, in a sense, is like children playing games without any purpose, just to make themselves happy and satisfy their desires. When the game is over, we go back to our normal lives and don’t violate each other. But, since we are adults, we should know that such FWB relationships work only if they are consensual and not in dispute. In the meantime, if you want things to turn out the way you want them to, here are a few pieces of advice that you'd better consider and take into account.
Don't hook up with a married person. First, you don't initiate flirting with a married person to send the message that you want a casual hookup. If you're being approached by a married person, say no, directly. Because, according to many people’s experiences and survey data, dating a married person is far more likely to cause you a host of problems.
Avoid one-night stands with people who are in a serious relationship. A serious relationship can lead two people to marriage, and once a third person is in the relationship, it means that one person has cheated on the other. Obviously, this relationship will come to an end. Sometimes, the person who has been betrayed will be angry with you, which can put you in a very awkward position. If you don't want to be this person, remember, don't date someone who is in a serious relationship.
Put your relationship in perspective. If it's just a one-night stand, then it's easy. Tomorrow you'll be strangers. But if you're going to be in a relationship for a while, then it's something you should take seriously, especially in terms of how you view the relationship. You can seem to be a friend to each other, otherwise why do we call it a friend with benefits relationship? However, don't think of him or her as your lover. Actually, your relationship has never been about love.
Use condoms. If you're a guy, using a condom is a responsible behavior, not only for your partner, but also for yourself. If you are a girl, then you should actively ask your partner to wear a condom. If he refuses, you should turn around and leave without any hesitation, unless he agrees to your request. If you don't have this sense of self-protection, then you might as well forget about casual hookups because sooner or later you're going to put your health at risk.
Have a regular health check. For people who are living a swinging lifestyle like you, regular physical check-ups are still very necessary, or so most people think. When you are on a one night hookup dating, you can also show your partner your medical examination results and ask him or her to produce similar reports. It's not necessary, but it can greatly reduce the risk and allow you to be more engaged in the passion of the dating.
