    I had someone ask me what I thought about FWB. I said I wouldn't be good at it because I get too attached and am not good at letting people go. I resisted his first attempt at getting close. Then he tempted me again and I gave in . It was actually just heart breaking for me because I really liked this person as a person. But as it turned out he only wanted a one night stand. Then poof gone but still there since we work together. It was just so awful and still is .So heart broken ..

    I think friends first is a good thing. Forget the whole "benefits" . . .aka fornication and adultery. If a woman doesn't want to meet you on an equal playing field and wants to be wined and dined and taken care of before the guy gets a chance to find out who she is and what's she's about. . . . I say run. Friends with benefits though is just another excuse to use a person. Let's be friends and have sex means. . . let me use you and have no obligation. That's abusive garbage.

    From a guy's pov.
    With regards to the question. Why would a guy want to just hook up one time if there is good chemistry instead of becoming FWB?
    Answer:
    1. he's not attracted to you
    2. if you're older but attractive, he wants younger
    3. the chemistry was never there, he led you to believe it was, just to get laid
    Rarely is the guy just trying to get notches under his belt, if the physical and mental stimulation are there, unless he's 16 yrs old.

    I have a FWB as we speak and I love it :)
    Why? I get my needs for affection and sex met without the complications of the early dating stages, does he likes me? Is he serious? With this guy I enjoy the moment and when we connect we are just the 2 of us enjoying each other.
    I prefer this than trying to date wondering if there is more, craving affection....
    This FWB makes me feel so much more relaxed and detached, I now attract much more men that want a relationship hahahaha...
    And my Friend... sexbuddy, I wont fall in love cause i couldn't imagine a relationship with him.

      @@doughartley3513 well I’ll take your comment as a compliment 😊 so thank you.
      I honestly think it is all about conscious choice. Do I have feelings for him? Yes off course! I feel so good when with him, yet I’ve decided to not worry about tomorrow, trying as much as possible to engage in the present and enjoy it! I might be gone tomorrow.
      Will I miss him the day we stop it, yes absolutely. He kind of is all I am looking for in a man 😊
      Do I want a relationship, yes off course we all want at a certain point.
      I keep open to potential suitors.
      Do I want to become anxious about a relationship, wondering if guy is into me or not? Not anymore.
      And what I notice, since I am not so attached about the future outcome... men gravitate to me, even my FWB 😊
      He loves my positive relaxed attitude...there is no pressure and no drama, though when he crosses a boundary I tell him, without the drama as he doesn’t owe me anything and neither do I.
      At the end of the day we do and can choose to fall in love or not.
      Men and woman can dinghies consciously when we let go of projecting into the future and getting attached to outcomes.
      Most women want a relationship and are attached to commitment, be sure he will be there... becoming anxious if she feels he is drifting away, she turns in a guys biggest nightmare.
      Most men want a relationship as well, yet they fear loosing their freedom, being obliged to stay there... so scared about the drama. They chose FWB.
      I choose to feel good with a man and call it FWB, it is also a relationship not a suffocating one for the man, the less I expect, the more he gives what most women want from a relationship.
      I have my cake and eat it too.
      2 fulfilled people 😊

      @@nathalie5238 you have identified a key point. Which is that by being ok with not clinging to expectations and whether they’re committing, or if they’re into you. That freedom is really attractive to men and women. It shows that both can handle being in a grown up, emotionally secure relationship. Not like the kind typically found in junior high school. Yes, you are rare. And that was a compliment. And, even better, you are finding guys more attracted to you, even the fwb.

    By the way, here, in order to defend myself from a certain type of society, I had to say that I was happily married. I cut loose all of the old circles of friends, some years ago. Toxic ppl. My revenge was saying that I was married and they weren't allowed in my husband's social context not because he belonged to the high society but because he didn't like the way they acted with me. I am not married but this lie was a weapon to make them desist from contacting me only to judge me for no reason. It's just a trick we sometimes have to use.

      @@SusanWinter Italy is a Catholic country so... but luckily in recent years even the elderly have begun to be more open-minded. I have always been among the "renegades", by the way. That's because I had relationships with younger and foreign guys. Serious commitment. Northern Europe was considered like Mars by ppl who lived in the countryside...ahah. Luckily there's been an evolution in some chunks of the population.
      The old narrow-minded " friends" of mine remained the same so I took a different way. I think they spoke out of frustration, they felt the need to settle with men they wouldn't have picked up if they hadn't been forced to by society/family in order to get married and have children.

He cooks dinner though so I had lucked out with this fwb. Then it fizzled out. Now randomly out of the blue he messaged me that he was thinking of me. Said I could come over.

      @@SusanWinter I would like it if he likes spending time with me. But the last time we got together was last December. One time when I was over there, he had his best friends over (it’s a couple). So a few weeks ago that night they were there, he messaged me that they were there so he was thinking of me and he would talk later. Made a flirty comment also.
      I replied back a flirty comment and said how I had plans. (I don’t do last min asks). So I’m not sure what it is. Due to the religion issue, it’s a line I will not cross. Just the way I was brought up. But I want him to respect me and see me as a high value woman. To feel that he’s lucky to have me as his fwb! That’s the part I’m not sure how to achieve???

      A man will never see you as a high value woman, when she wants FWB. And not when she 'settles' on his request for being a woman only for FWB. Man have different codes and are different 'wired'. They see every woman as low class, if the woman has sex with them. And other things to give to a man just for fun or company.
      A man is a man. A man just thinks a high value woman has high standarts to her body and mind.
      It is what it is.
      Deal with it or grow up to behave like a high value woman.
      The sad part is...
      A woman who sleeps with a man, without being married. Not virgin anymore. Is allready a fallen woman. She is not innocent anymore. A non virgin is allready a turn off. So if you are not virgin anymore. Your value is allready low.
      So, you need to be strong, from now on to build yourself up and grow into a wise and intelligent woman. Sooner or later you will regret to have lost your beauty, years into meaningsless 'relationshits'.
      Your youth is very quickly gone.
      If you see yourself being a FWB girl, go ahead.
      But if you see yourself one day married. Do not waste your youth. Do not waste time on men, who do not value YOU.
      Sex and men. They love it.
      But yes...
      That is all you are good for as FWB.
      Do you want to feel used at the end? Because woman are emotional different. Because sooner or later you will feel used by men. Men do not mind to use you. Until they find a woman, who they really want to be real with and care for real. Men who meet a woman and know, that is the woman, where they want to start a family with, will never do things to lose you.
      Do you really want to waste your time, youth on men you do not want to be build a real commitment with? Why?

Sometimes he he gets distant but usually.doesent last more than a week or two ( at most ) most of the time we text and tall almost everyday... It's very confusing place. He spends weekends at my place. Buys me groceries. Helps with me rent and recently got me a laptop...I love him so much. But ... I dunno.jow he feels. He also basically took care of me after both my surgeries. How is this something a friend would do ? Nove of my.friemds go above and beyond. The only time I don't like this set up is the times he gets distant. Now is one of those times. It makes me feel like a drug addict. My mom told me he's like my part-time boyfriend.... She's right. It's odd. And backstory we used to live together for 2 years before this happened.

      Hi Denise. Your relationship is clearly undefined and not serving your needs. Take some time to figure out what you really want from him. Is the only thing you have left sex? Why does he expect you to act like a housewife by cleaning dishes and taking out kitty litter when you're not together?? Very odd. Don't do what doesn't work. Figure out what does work, if anything. Isolate that and start from there.

Now. . .that's pretty crass. . . because of course you are not a cow. But, the analogy works. Sex before or outside of marriage is a sin and a set up for resentments and trust degradation.
