Fuck buddy or Fwb?

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

A man i know has asked me to be his fuck buddy. I was just wondering why he didn't ask me to be his friends with benefits? What i'd like to know is, is there a difference between the two before i say yes to anything?

[StrapOnDodo]

I can't imagine anyone saying either thing out loud..I certainly wouldn't go near anyone who used either expression. Fwb sounds the better of the two, if only because it's less American.

But I'm old and old fashioned, I suppose.

[HermioneWeasley]

I thought they were the same thing?

[Llouh]

They mean the same thing but if you're unsure can't you ask the man who is suggesting this?

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

Ok thank you...just wasn't sure!

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

Fwb sounds nicer !

[Joysmum]

For me a fuck buddy is someone you meet only for sex.

FWB is someone you meet for sex and companionship but is not an exclusive relationship.

In reality, people's perceptions of both vary so you'd do wise to clarify fully what he wants.

[sinber]

Well surely a fuck buddy is just sex, no friendship needed.

A FWB is friendship with extras, but no relationship.

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

thanks everyone..getting worried now!

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

so just a fuck nothing else?

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

i've got to think carefully about this

[WhatALoadOfOldBollocks]

Ask him to clarify exactly what sort of relationship he wants because people interpret these phrases differently and you have to know what you're getting into. Vagueness can lead to misunderstandings, so make sure he tells you objectively rather than subjectively. And make sure you know what you want too.

Niiiiiiice.

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

thank you whata

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

what do you mean goodnight ?

[sinber]

I think that goodnight doesn't approve.

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

ohhh! ..ok

[sinber]

I don't see the problem with a bit of upfront honesty myself, then all parties hopefully know where they stand.

[Toffeelatteplease]

If you are thinking carefully about it, before youve slept with him, i can pretty much guarantee it isn't for you.

I think it generally only works when they is a reason for not moving the relationship forward, eg you have kids really don't want a new relationship but miss the physical side of things.

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

So would i be able to text him? or talk to him?

[ThreeRuddyTubs]

You could text and talk to him but going out tk dinner or to the cinema etc would probably not happen whereas they would with fwb as you're supposed to be friends still

[toffeeboffin]

'Would I be able to text him, talk to him?'



You've a lot to learn OP.

[girlsjustlikedoingpuns]

So i'm glad i asked i thought there might be a difference thanks everyone!

[abbsismyhero]

basically he wants to shag you but you're not "good enough to take to meet the family" if you see what i mean you're just going to be a hook up don't expect him to even acknowledge you when you're in the same room this is not a meeting of the minds simply a meeting of the genitalia

it's not something i would do personally but each to there own xx

[Hillfarmer]

What a lovely guy!

[Blakerose15]

Don't lower your self if he don't think your good enough for a girl friend then he entered worth your time
