FWB

Hi,

So if you've just asked your sex buddy - have you missed me? And their answer is what? Errmmmm how an earth do you answer that? Or not maybe the case.

Short story is we've only met and I thought it could be a relationship that could just go on for a while but recently the messaging has gone a little weird. He's been actually cold on me which he has never done before. He's been suggesting things like I could have any man I want etc and almost encouraging me to move on. I think I kind of know it's come to an end for all sorts of reasons but I guess I just wanted to get some clarity. We don't owe each other anything but hey it is what it is.

I feel kind of relieved but slightly sad too. Mixed emotions because I think I fell for the lust and perhaps if things were different I could fall for him completely.

He's not interested OP. Meme are generally pretty good at letting you know if they want you. He may be ok with more arc but I doubt, from what you've said, that he ever intends on anything beyond that. Sorry Sad

Men!

Cricrichan · 13/07/2018 09:35

It sounds like he likes you more than fwb and maybe doesn't know how to express it or if you'd want anything more? So he's pushing you to answer by either denying that you'd want another man or that you do.

midnightmisssuki · 13/07/2018 14:15

sorry - he doesn't sound that he wants anything more than what you had. Best you move on. Good luck.

Who asked who?

SoapOnARoap · 13/07/2018 14:45

Move on, he’s not interested

wonderwoman23 · 13/07/2018 17:15

@Cricrichan

How do?

OP posts:
wonderwoman23 · 13/07/2018 17:19

@Cricrichan

Sorry I meant to type "how so?"

OP posts:
category12 · 13/07/2018 17:25

Yeah, you're trying to make it something it isn't - he's gone cold because he doesn't want that.

wonderwoman23 · 13/07/2018 17:38

@category12

🤦🏻‍♀️....just live and learn. Feel like a fool, but I guess we both got what we wanted out of it for the short space of time.

OP posts:
MyOtherProfile · 13/07/2018 17:39

Maybe he said what because he didn't hear you.

Cricrichan · 13/07/2018 17:46

Oh sorry. I thought he'd asked if you missed him!

wonderwoman23 · 13/07/2018 18:08

@MyOtherProfile

Message on WhatsApp so I think there's no mistaking that one. Moving on already I think we both knew it was going to be over the last time we met. Just a gut feeling.

FissionChips · 13/07/2018 18:13

Why would he miss you? you were just friends who shagged . Id have been a bit put out if my old Fwb asked if I missed him.

wonderwoman23 · 13/07/2018 18:20

@FissionChips

Because we have had that kind of banter before, something just changed all of a sudden. We always say we've missed each other.

OP posts:
FissionChips · 13/07/2018 18:24

Was it jokey banter before though? Idk, it would weird me out.

Don’t get into Fwb situations with people you want a relationship with, it rarely works out . Flowers

wonderwoman23 · 13/07/2018 18:30

@FissionChips

No wasn't jokey, yeh it's strange one. Not sure how to explain it but it was an odd FWB relationship. But now no more. I was looking for some fun - think it just got a bit intense from both sides if I'm honest.

OP posts:
Trialsmum · 13/07/2018 18:48

I’d just put ‘guess not then’ and move on.

wonderwoman23 · 13/07/2018 19:29

@Trialsmum

Yes should have done that but I just left it instead

Thanks! Will remember for next time this happens again haha

Sounds like he wants a FWB and you want more. He realises that and is cooling because he's not that in to you beyond a FWB.
