[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how old are you and him?
Like are you single, hoping to be married one day? Or in a totally different place?

I'm old so take my advice with a grain of salt.. but don't give your heart to guys who won't give you more than FWB. You're worth more than that and you will find someone better who will give you more than that. I know far too many people who wasted prime years in this kind of arrangement instead of dating stand up guys and ended up being single/no kids in their 40's. It is rarely fun for the woman.

You know, ma'am, some women are looking for a FWB, even if the man wants more.[/quote]

Or tell themselves that. Because this woman clearly wants more or she wouldn't be on a MB posting about it and stressing about how it will come off. Woman are wired to want an emotional connection with sex and can rarely separate the two. Extended FB and FWB don't work for women. Every single one of my friends who spent their 30's in these relationships are single in their 40's and desperately want a partner and kids. [/quote]

Female here, single early 50’s, serial FWB participant. Fell for a few of them...of course, it never was more than FWB. Agonized over texts messages to the ones I liked. The last one, I really liked, looked desparate  and insecure. Learned so many lessons with FWB....never again. But I know everyone is different. But agree with you, complete waste of time....and heartache sometimes. [/quote]

Think the important part of these relationships is the FRIENDSHIP. I am also in my 50s, and I have 2 FWB. If the sex went away, one guy and I would still be best friends. The other one, I would probably never hear from him again, so he's not that important to me. [/quote]

Either way would you be wringing your hands over sending them a text?[/quote]

No, because the first one and I are friends, so why would I agonize over it, knowing I wouldn't ruin anything. And the second one, if it scared him off, so be it. [/quote]
