We have a general policy that we don't play with one half of a couple unless it's someone we know very well. When people reach out saying that they get a hall pass, or have an open relationship. Today's gem was from a "couple" that messaged to say they love our photos, etc. Their profile pic was just a generic shot of a headless woman in a cute tank-top. A quick read told me that this is not really a couple. I replied that we don't play with only half of a couple because it can lead to drama. Their reply was that they are actually friends with benefits, so there will be no drama. I made it clear that I appreciated their kind words, but that it just isn't for us. I know that their relationship isn't my responsibility, but I can't tolerate the idea.

So, I'm curious about other people's perceptions in general. Do you play with one half of a couple that you don't already know?

EDIT: I am not judging in any way. Every relationship is different and I don't wish to make anyone feel bad for doing things differently. I just had a pushy person insisting that it was no big deal and wondered if I'm alone in this preference.
