In a word, no.

In two words, probably not.

In a bunch of words, I guess it’s not implausible, but it’s probably the worst idea since Jimmy Dean’s Chocolate Chip Pancake Wrapped Sausage. If you are considering venturing into a relationship from your current booty call/friends with benefits situation, you should first ask yourself these couple questions.

1. Are you both willing to be exclusive?

Asking your friends-with-benefits to get into a relationship is like asking someone to go through their entire wardrobe, which they’ve been adding to for years, and choosing one outfit to wear for the rest of the year. And although you might think you’ll be content wearing the same jeans and tee everyday, you might realize a couple months in that that t-shirt is getting really smelly, and the jeans are getting all torn up, if you catch my drift.

2. Do you actually like each other?

Do you even know each other? Sex is incredibly important in a relationship, obviously, but it’s not the only important thing. If you’ve been following our booty call rules, you shouldn’t really know that much about each other, and you probably should know more about your boy/girlfriend than just their favorite sex position.

3. Why oh WHY do you want a relationship?

Relationships are work. They can get tough, and they can put you through some serious stress. If you’re just craving a relationship because you’re lonely, you are way better off getting a puppy or calling a friend to hang out. You have a great situation going on, with fun, no-strings-attached sex while keeping your independence, and you shouldn’t give that up unless you are both genuinely interested in pursuing a long term, exclusive (re: booooring) relationship.
