Are you looking for FWB, or FB? There's a difference.
The ones that start with dating, hooking up, but with no intent for a serious relationship, are (to my thinking) possibly closer to FB. In real activities, with a FB, the focus is sex. I had a FB, I really enjoyed, and every single time we saw one another, we had a nice long conversation, and we had sex. We never met one another's friends or family, or went to a movie or played games or walked in the park or talked about "our" future...maybe some food and/or drink was part of our evening, but always the one constant - conversation, and sex. And since he was an excellent lover, we both were certainly getting something of value in the situation. It ended because I started getting a bit too emotionally attachy for his comfort.
While we haven't completely cut contact with each other (we're friends on social media) we don't really talk anymore and I haven't seen him in over 2 years. So we didn't maintain the friendship after the sex ended, one wasn't that important without the other. Eff-buddy, emphasis on the Eff.
A FWB on the other hand, in my experience, is someone where the emphasis is on the friendship. We were probably friends long before we ever hooked up, and I expect we'll be friends to some extent or another, long after we are no longer having sex. Most of my FWB situations didn't end because someone caught feels (it would more likely become a relationship then, if that happened) but rather because it wasn't perceived as a "real" relationship and one or the other of us found a girlfriend or boyfriend, so we stop messing around with our pal and revert to just friendship. It's almost like, as good pals, we're just there for one another whenever we're both going through a dry spell. Sex is just a fun thing we might do, it doesn't define why we hang out.
FB you can sometimes engineer from online dating and such. FWB you should expect to invest time in actually being friends with someone before that's likely to happen. If you're trying to hook up, try OLD, if you're trying to make friends, networking, possibly Meetups, etc.
These types relationships usually happen when a girl is really into a guy, but the feeling isn't mutual for him. Basically start off dating, then sex, but he never makes it offical. Basically good enough to sleep with, but not good enough for a girlfriend.
$1000 escort/hooker is well worth it, versus the BS and drama that comes with a FWB.
Especially for her. 1,000.00 for probably less than a minutes work.
