For those in Open Relationships that remain casual, how do you prevent sliding over to polyamory?

Post Body

For romantic couples that have a boundary where deep romantic dating with others is off limits, but being friends and bonding is allowed, how do you not drift to deep loving romance with your fwb?

I do have experience, but not with a primary partner. I was a swinging boy toy in my 20's, then was a poly secondary to a married woman for 7 yrs. I'm not impressed with polyamory, but like a little more bonding than some swingers are comfortable with.

My first guess would be: No romantic evening dinner dates with a fwb alone, & no spending the whole night and waking up beside the fwb.

What say you?
