How do I get out of a friends with benefits mess? I think we both care a lot about each other, but it’s so complicated. We spend time together just hanging out. But we have sex. Sometimes it’s just a booty call. Sometimes it’s literally just hanging out. But I don’t know what to think of it. I wonder if he thinks of me as more, and worry that he doesn’t. I think I do want more. I am growing attached to him. I feel like I should ‘run away’, get out while I can, but he’s my friend. I can’t run and don’t want to lose him. Yet we’ve both agreed we’re ‘too complicated already to be in a relationship’, though he’s asked me before if that’s all I want or if I want something more… I don’t know what to do.
Got something to add to this convo? Then go for it, girl. Give this girl some advice on what she should do right here in the message boards.
The Morning After
New Quiz!
I was dumped a while ago by a guy, because he wasn’t as “happy” to see me anymore. He found out I liked someone else a while ago, and was trying to help me explain my feelings to this new guy. But I told my ex I reconsidered liking him because he was rude. So, because I’m stupid and not over my ex, I agreed to be FWB with him. I don’t think I’m ever going to truly get over my ex.
i want to have more with a guy i have had sex with well i lost my virginity to him. .he say he is not good in relationships but he said he would try but im afraid to give hime my heart ,,,can i get some advice…?
If you have feelings towards him and he said he doesn’t mind trying it out then its a risk worth taking. If you don’t want to open your heart to him because you’re too scared he’ll break it, don’t let yourself get too attached until you feel secure in the relationship. In my opinion honey I don’t think you should pass this up and just take a chance.
Good luck on whatever you decide to do x
I’m in a FWB relationship…We don’t have sex, but we just flirt a lot. We started out as best friends, but he started getting serious feelings for me. I thought I had feelings for him to, so I told him we would date whenever the new school year starts. I got to asking myself if I really wanted to date him, and I decided I wantedd to stay single and flirt…but he got upset and now i have no idea what to do. HELP!
You Have To Really Have No Emotions To Become FWB Because Its Easy To Catch Feelings , Even Through Sex .
Im in a FWB relationship. I can see where it might be kind of a mess, but both of us knows that it won’t really last anyway (he’s going to college a solid 4,000 miles away) so for now…… it works.
FWB NEVER WORKS OUT. I’ve tried with many different guys and it really doesn’t. Someone always gets hurt either he finds someone else or you do, or you end up liking him but he doesn’t like you back…ya know? The occasional hook up isn’t bad but don’t keep it a constant thing or someone will get hurt.
Just tell him you want a relationship or to be just friends – no in between.
I have too. and it doesn’t. I did it a couple of times and the last guy told me i wasnt the only girl he’s hooking up with. So i just stopped talking to him.
…SAY IT. Don’t let these feelings go to waste our grow even more for a chance of an even worse hurt. You need to be straight up with him… Its YOUR sex life, its YOUR feelings and its YOUR body and you can’t let him take advantage of that.. So ask him, what do you think of me? And tell him I.am having deeper feelings about you then I anticipated.. Now this DOES NOT mean you’ll like the answer but at this point you need to know
From experience, FTW never end well. Sex is just a very intimate thing, and you always feel apart of that person afterward. If you are having feelings for him it would be better to tell him now, instead of waiting for months until it just pours out in a mess of words. Trust me it’s not pretty doing it that way, and you just torture yourself with the “what ifs” Good luck!
I am in a fwb relationship and it’s going great. It’s all on the girl that you are. He respects me and we treat each other really well. We even talk about the future when we are together. But at the end of the day, we know it’s only sex that matters now. Maybe later when we finish studying we will do something. Maybe
I’m in the same situation right now. It’s true, you have to give it your all and both go into a committed relationship or go your seperate ways. Take it from me, the longer you wait around pretending to be friends and hiding your true feelings the harder your making it on yourself.
I dont think friends with benefits ever works out well. So I think you should choose either all or nothing, i’m not saying you have to cut him out of your life completely, but either become a couple if you both feel something more for each other or just stay friends. (Friends that dont have sex) Don’t try to settle for something in between. Sex isn’t something made for friends, i think it should be reserved for serious couples ONLY.
Friends with benefits only seems to complicate EVERYTHING. I don’t speak from personal experience, but judging everyone else’s experiences, it seems more hassle than it’s worth. Why play it off as FWD when it’s about the same difficulty breaking it off as it would be a “real relationship”.
Haha FWB, never mind my car reference.
