[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had a few FWB relationships because I've been single for most of my adult life.  The best way to do this is to find a person who you think is attractive but completely wrong for you in the long term.  For me, that means either a guy who is pretty financially flaky (stability is a thing for me), or a guy who has more conservative beliefs than I do, or someone who wants a very different future from me.  (like no kids, or to live in Europe, or to travel 90% of the time for work.)  So if you go out on a few dates with someone and realize that you don't see it going anywhere and he doesn't either, that could be the beginning of something sort of great.[/quote]

Except for the whole "spending time and energy on the wrong guy" thing.

You've noticed the connection between "I've been single for most of my adult life" and "I keep dating guys who are wrong for me and the relationship has no future", right?[/quote]

I didn't read it that way at all, my take is that the PP prefers the way they are doing it.  Sex without all the baggage.  I'm right there with them.  Single by choice is still something many people do (although it seems as though the DCUM crowd is all about finding a "quality executive man").  With a FWB situation there's not much time and energy spent on anything but the sex.  So actually the PP is conserving time and energy she could be using for things that are more important to her than a relationship.[/quote]

And whens he hits 40 she'll have had lots of fun, but won't have a husband or children. Ooops! But wait, that's when she can unfreeze her eggs, yay![/quote]
