Is there any benefit in being friends with benefits?

Guys, we've all seen movies like  Friends With Benefits starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis that intrigue us into having a special lady friend. A woman who I can be intimate with but won't make me deal with in laws or drama or chick flicks? Psh sign me up! That was my reaction at first but hear me out on this one.

First of all, finding a woman that is willing to cooperate with you on this idea isn't so easy to find. Lets say however, for the purpose of this blog, you get her to agree. How long before one of you falls for the other? As it happened in the movie, too much time spent together will cause feelings to emerge even if you didn't want them too. The chance of a long lasting monogamous relationship to emerge from this situation is hard to find. I'm not going to say its impossible though, friends of mine       started out this way and have been together for almost 4 years now.

Here are the outcomes that can eventually happen though. Either you catch feelings for her and she's just wants to continue being FWB or the vice versa. In that situation someone gets hurt. Or you find someone else that you do want to have a relationship with
not just the physical part and of course the vice versa which will, once again, cause someone to get hurt.

So what's the benefit really? My advice would be to stay away from this title. Just go out dates and have a good time. You wouldn't want too many FWB's anyway, it can hurt your reputation when looking for "The One".

If you have any experience of a personal FWB situation, whether a success story or a failure, please share on a comment below.

5 easy to tips to getting her number

Its natural to want to get a girls number after a good conversation or maybe because you'd like to have calling her as an option. The problem comes when guys start sounding like "Darrel" from MAD TV. Follow these tips and your chances of getting those 10 digits that will telephonically  connect you to her will increase.

1. Be Confident. No woman is attracted to the guy who is unsure of himself. Know that she should want your number and say it with your chest.
2. Don't go Biggie. When you're talking to a girl she wants to have a mutual conversation, not feel like she's being interviewed. Cool it with the what's your name, what's your sign deal. Be real and she'll feel more comfortable. 
3. Read her body language. Eye contact. That's the key. If she's not making eye contact with you chances are she's not interested, bro. 
4. Leave a cliffhanger. If the conversation is going good and you see she's interested, make up an excuse to leave. Then ask for her number to continue the conversation.
5. Give her your number. Don't want to go through rejection? Just give her your number. If you stayed on her mind she'l call, if not be optimistic and think that she lost it. Its a lot better than a big fat no to your face.
