Operation Booty Call: The Hilarious (and Slightly Desperate) Guide to Reclaiming Your FWB Throne
Ah, the fickle world of friends with benefits. It starts with playful winks, late-night texts, and a shared understanding that laundry hampers are optional cuddle companions. But then, like a rogue sock in the dryer, things get messy. Maybe they ghosted you harder than Casper the Friendly Fetch Ghost. Maybe you, in a moment of weakness, accidentally called them "honeyboo" in public. Whatever the reason, your once-reliable source of Netflix-and-chill has vanished faster than free pizza at a frat party.
Fear not, fellow flirters! This guide, crafted with the precision of a drunken Ikea furniture assembly (wobbly but functional!), will equip you with the tools to potentially, maybe, hopefully win back your lost love trophy...er, I mean, casual companion.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.

| How To Get A Friends With Benefits Back |
Step 1: Assess the Damage
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
- The Ghostly Disappearance: Did they vanish like a Kardashian marriage? If so, this might be a more permanent "benefits-less" situation. You might need to accept your fate and move on, perhaps with a pint of ice cream and a rom-com marathon. sad trombone
- The Awkward Mishap: Did you, like, accidentally set their apartment on fire while attempting to flamb� some questionable takeout? Because that might be a tough one to bounce back from. Still, a sincere apology and a genuine effort to learn basic fire safety could work wonders.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
Step 2: Operation: Re-Friend
 |
- The Subtle Like Spree: Unleash your inner social media stalker! Like their most recent grandma-approved vacation picture, that blurry meme about cats, literally anything. But for the love of all things holy, avoid liking anything older than a week. We're not here to creep them out.
- The Casually Hilarious Text: Craft a message that's funny, lighthearted, and doesn't scream desperation. "Hey, so uh, remember that time we accidentally dyed your poodle purple? Fun times, right?" is probably not the best opener.
Step 3: The Grand Re-Entry (Optional, Proceed with Caution)
- The Bump Into: This is a tricky one. Aim for a place you both frequent, but avoid stalking their usual grocery store aisle (unless it's the cereal aisle, because who doesn't love a good cereal date?). A surprised, "Hey! Fancy seeing you here!" can work wonders.
- The Group Outing: Suggest a casual group activity. Maybe bowling, mini golf, or that new axe-throwing place everyone's been raving about (because nothing says "casual flirting" like hurling sharp objects!). This way, you can re-establish a connection in a low-pressure setting.
Remember: There's no guaranteed outcome here. This is the messy, unpredictable world of friends with benefits, people! But hey, if all else fails, at least you'll have some hilarious stories to tell your therapist... or your future dates!
Bonus Tip: If things do work out, for the love of all things comfortable, establish clear boundaries this time around.
