You will be hurt again
When you feel that you have signs of falling in love with your adult friend, you should remind yourself from time to time that a romantic dating relationship with him will not make you happy and you will not get happiness. Worst of all, you may get hurt as much as you did in your last relationship. You've been a sexual partner since the beginning. You know each other's inner secrets. Some of them are dirty and ugly. If you fall in love with your friends, there will always be a gap between you. Any small detail in your life will remind you of that time in your NSA relationship. If you know from the beginning that this relationship will not bring you happiness, it's better to pump the brake in time than rather than start this relationship rashly.
Pay more attention to yourself than your sexual partner
Before you start this NSA relationship, you are friends. At that time, you can get along with each other naturally just like ordinary friends. But why do you fall in love with your friends in this FWB relationship? That's because you spend more time together, and you often do intimate things that only lovers can do together. Naturally, you have special feelings for your friends. An effective way to kill this love is to divert your attention. Turn your attention from your friends to yourself. You can spend more time watching movies, getting along with other friends or anything that improves yourself. When you pay less attention to your friend, your love for him will naturally fade away.
Find out his shortcomings
Do you know the reason why a romantic relationship is easy to break up, but a friendship can become long and strong? This is because in a dating relationship, two people will face each other day and night. They have the most profound understanding of each other. They know their partner's shortcomings. Therefore, these shortcomings can easily hinder the good development of a relationship. However, in a friendship, people are usually more tolerant of their friends. So, when you want to upgrade this relationship, you should think more about his shortcomings, which are usually ignored by you. When you find that you can't stand his shortcomings, you will give up.
