Follow the acronym HARP:
Honesty = Both of you need to be honest about what you want out of the situation.
Agreement = Boundaries need to be established from the get go and once they're set, don't cross them.
Remember = Remember they're not your boyfriend/girlfriend and they don't owe you anything beyond what you both agreed on.
Protection = Always use protection.
This is new to me

I was reading stories about it. I'm curious
