At one time or another most of us have been in a certain kind of relationship called ‘friends with benefits’.  Generally the benefits don’t include gym membership and health insurance (though I met one young lady who told me she’d take this as an option over sex) - so you get the idea.  You’re good friends, you both get horny, you both get drunk, and it’s usually all at the same bar.  You’re both twenty something downtown-bar-hopping kids with libidos that cannot be contained.  What a coincidence!  Why not kill two birds with one stone and in the morning get a hungover breakfast at Blue Moon, have a couple mimosas, and go your separate ways.  There’s no emotional attachment, you both get your hookup with person of choice, and life is good - right?

Well, unfortunately the ‘friends with benefits’ model is eventually threatened by the prospect of a more serious relationship.  I polled a half dozen men and women about this subject and came up with a list of warning signs for those currently in FWB status.  If you start to exhibit any of these behaviors, or your benefit friend does, you are drifting towards relationship territory.  Take it as you will - I know plenty of people who started out as FWBs and ended up happily dating.  None of these things are inherently bad, but be aware - if a relationship is not at all what you want then these are 10 warning signs that you’re drifting in the wrong direction:
