Happy in yourself ✔ Happy(ish)single ✔ but, miss...

[cupcakesmakeyouhappy]

....Closeness, cuddles, conversation, and company.
I'm forever reading. Find yourself! Learn to be happy single! Do something new! Be kind to yourself! All great advice, I understand that. I feel I have done all the above but I sometimes feel something is missing. Like I crave the closeness and adult conversation. Sharing how the day was good/bad. I wonder if that feeling will always be there. When people say ' I am completely happy single'! I think hmmm why dont I feel completely happy then or do they really feel completely happy?
Not sure why I'm posting really :) I am happy in myself.
I suppose I have been single forever and miss little things and not sure how to stop missing those things (and feeling sorry for myself haha)

I'm also wondering about the FWB thing ...

It would be ideal for me. I prefer being on my own ... but miss the sex and cuddles afterwards SOOOO MUCH ha ha!

I was thinking about it the other day actually and thought I'd compile a list. My ideal FWB would be maybe a 25 yo (I'm 36), extremely handsome, fit, sexy bloke with a good sense of humour, but completely different interests and some key personality flaw that doesn't put you off the sex but exists just enough to prevent the risk of developing feelings....

Now, just where to find one????

I'd love a FWB. It would be ideal for me I think. I don't want a relationship particularly - I don't want to introduce anyone to my DCs or anyone to get too close. But I do miss sex, kissing and cuddles.

How do you get one though? All my male friends are married/attached so obviously out. And going OLD saying you're only interested in sex seems like it would send every creep in a 50 mile radius crawling out of the woodwork.

I'm open to suggestions.

I have no idea how you would get a nice FWB. It is one of the reasons my old FWB and I have kept in touch over the years despite geography, being on and off via different relationships etc.

Every other Friday night when Im picking up the M&S dine in for 2, I think about how much Id love to heat it up for someone once a fortnight, have crazy sex on the kitchen table between the main and dessert, cuddle in front of the fire, maybe a walk and coffee on Saturday morning and then nothing for a fortnight. No washing his clothes, talking about work, stresses about kids. Just that.

5 years single for me, and I love it 98% of the time. Like what you all said, miss the cuddles and intimacy sometimes. Also having someone who you can share your problems with would be nice.

I love listening and signing(badly) to music, and one thing I find now is that so many songs are about love/partners/marriage etc. Sounds crazy written on here, but does anyone else get what I mean?

On the FWB I have someone who is lovely, sweet, cuddly, very complimentary. Love him dearly - just can't see us having a relationship! he's poly so not short of interactions and occasionally we meet up, have a lovely time together and have fun. It's not complicated and I get the rest of the time to enjoy My house, MY bed, MY space!

For me it's ideal!
