I think you all are going about this all wrong. You don't "have to" harden your heart against a fuck-buddy or hide it. I've had several fuck-buddy situations, and I've had friendships with all of them during that time.
You can be actual friends with them and everything can work. The only downside I've seen from that is sometimes others with get confused on whether you are dating or not, because people generally assume that if you are having sex with someone, you are involved romantically with them or that you aren't looking for a different romantic relationship.
That would be eliminated by being a stealthy ninja about the whole arrangement, I guess.
