## Friends with Baggage

### Starting Dialogue

Lover: Thanks for inviting me over. I’ve been having a rough time with my ex. We broke up a while ago, but... it’s complicated.

You: I’m sorry to hear. Ex stuff is the worst! Hopefully us hanging out will help take your mind off of things?

Lover: Yeah, I’d like that. I’m already feeling better just getting out of the house and seeing a friendly face.

### Ending Dialogue

You: Its nice to see you smiling again!

Lover: Oh! Thanks. Yeah, I’m really feeling a lot better. This was way better than my original plan of compulsively checking my phone!

You: Happy to hear that us hanging out together at least is a bit better than that!

## Causal Attraction

### Starting Dialogue

Lover: Hey, if you want, I can hang out again. I had something else planned, but I can reschedule since I’d rather hang out with you.

You: You’d rather hang out with me? I mean... yeah, of course! I’d rather hang out with you, too.

### Ending Dialogue

You: Don’t take this the wrong way, but have you been working out? You look... good! Not that you usually don’t - you look good all the time.

Lover: You’re cute! I have been working out. Thanks for noticing!

## Touchy-Feely Friends

### Starting Dialogue

You: ...and so then the duck says, “In that case, do ya got any grapes?!”

Lover: HA! I’ve heard that one before, but I like hearing you tell it.

You: Oh! Wow, thanks! You’re making me blush....

### Ending Dialogue

You: Sorry I accidentally brushed your hand. I was... um... brushing lint off of you.

Lover: You don’t have to apologize. I liked it.

## Spontaneous Souls

### Starting Dialogue

You: Oh hey! There’s a Cat Detective marathon on if you wanted to hang out and maybe watch it?

Lover: If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were looking for excuses to hang out with me! Not that I’d complain....

You: You got me. I just have so much fun with you.

### Ending Dialogue

Lover: I hope I haven’t been leading you on. We’re just friends right?

You: Hey, me neither! I totally understand. I think we’re both on the same page about what this is.

## No Strings Fling

### Starting Dialogue

Lover: Spending time with you feels really right. Look at us... just two attractive friends hanging out!

You: Yeah! Just two friends.... No weirdness or tension at all.

### Ending Dialogue

You: Maybe this arrangement really could work for us! Maybe things don’t have to be complicated at all.

## Friends with Benefits

### Starting Dialogue

Lover: I have something to tell you: I’m really attracted to you, but I don’t think I want another “relationship” relationship. You know?

You: I really like you, too. You’re kind of really... very... super hot. Maybe we could be friends who just find each other really very super hot?

### Ending Dialogue

Lover: It’s nice to be with someone again, especially since I feel really comfortable with you.

You: I’m having a lot of fun with you, too... and not just because I finally can tell you how super-cute I think you are.

Lover: That makes two of us!

## Unplanned Affair

### Starting Dialogue

You: I’m glad we’re both on the same page about what this is, it’s nice having a casual relationship for once. No drama!

Lover: I feel the same way. We can enjoy each other’s company without any pesky feelings or non-friendship emotions!

You: Right! Because we‘re completely definitely just friends who hang out and sometimes teat each other like lovers, but still are just friends.

### Ending Dialogue

You: Oh no! I think I’m developing feelings for my friend.... This might mess everything up, but I’m not sure if I can keep it to myself.

## Friends with Feels

### Starting Dialogue

You: Weird idea, but maybe we can go out sometime? You know, just to get a change of scenery.

Lover: Go out... out of the house? Together?

You: Forget I said anything. I get it. Once we go out together, we’re a couple, and I know you don’t want that.

### Ending Dialogue

Lover: I thought about what you said about being a couple. The truth is I have feelings for you. I always have. I’ve just been too afraid to admit it.

You: I feel the same way about you! So... do you want to be more than just friends with benefits?

Lover: Let’s give it a try! I really like us and how uncomplicated we are.

## Serious Sweethearts

### Starting Dialogue

You: It’s weird that we can be so open with each other. In a good way!

Lover: Yeah, it’s like the last thing holding us back was admitting our feelings for each other.

### Ending Dialogue

You: I know we didn’t want to get too attracted to each other at first, but now that we are, I can’t picture myself without you.

Lover: Awww, I love being with you. I love everything about you. You might even say I love you!

You: I love you, too!
