am currently FWB too right now, perhaps only approach the subject with him if you know that you would be able to keep any feelings from emerging. It is a hard thing to do as sex with somebody you care about will only make you feel closer...on other hand it could ruin your friendship altogether

Well just try kissing him one night when you are both drunk.

Whatever his reaction, just tell him that you know you will only ever be friends, and that you don't want him to EVER be your boyfriend but you would be up for a bit of harmless fun on the side if he wanted to.

He may reject you because you have to be very mature and sure of your self not to get attached to someone you have sex with. If you can both separate that, and you would have no problem backing off and possibly losing him as a friend if he met a girl he actually really liked, like, next week, then no problem.

Good Luck!! xx

The biggest difference between an FWB and a girlfriend/boyfriend is the commitment factor. It's more psychological than anything. Plus, you're not expected to do anything by default for an FWB. It is a choice you can choose to make, but not expected. Of course, I'm giving you the basics here.
