Posting on behalf of friend

She casually seeing guy so far spend two nights with him over 3 week period as she has been away (last time was Saturday night) he did mention about her going with him to a party next weekend

Have exchanged one or two messages a day since but mostly just funny video/pictures etc no really chat and on Tuesday he messaged her while working to ask when she finished and popped in to see her and have lunch.

Friend is doing her own head in trying to figure out if he’s into her or just playing her.

I say it’s to early to tell and they haven’t even had a date yet.

What do you think?

So she's seen him twice in two weeks for sex but nothing constituting a date and Now she wants to know if he's playing her? Sounds like they've both set up expectations of it being a casual thing

I agree with you, she busy doing her but in googling texting patterns etc Grin

She’s created a no strings sex arrangement.

I’d say the guy was into the arrangement but, not necessarily into her

She's googling texting patterns to see if a guy she's having no strings sex with is into her? Suggest she tries being single until ashore can work on her issues

How old is your friend and the man she likes?

I think by having sex twice within 3 weeks before even a date that she's created a FWB type thing.

Sounds like she needs to work on her self-esteem quite a bit. Either way it's only been 3 weeks!!

Friend is 38 he's 43, he told her after the 1st time that he likes her he just isn't looking for anything full on as only split with his long term ex 7 months ago.

I'm saying he either stops sleeping with him if he wants more or carry on but expect nothing

If he told her straight up that he doesn't want a relationship, then he doesn't want a relationship.

If she's happy with FWB then it's all good. If she's looking for someone to settle down with eventually then she needs to cast her net wider.

HarshingMyMellow · 22/06/2018 12:22

Oh god, tell her to take a huge step back then, unless she is happy with the FWB arrangement.

If she likes him to the point of googling texting patterns she's only going to get herself hurt in the long run.

It could be that he likes your friend as a FWB, but in a few months time could meet someone who he envisions a future with.
You're friend -by the sounds of it- would be heartbroken.

Gently steer her away from him I think.

Yeah, sounds like he's being honest. She needs to hear him.
