Is there any way to tell the difference between being a FWB and passion in a new relationship?

What do you mean? You can have passion with a FWB?

You may get more replies if you elaborate a bit or are a bit more concise.

Agreed more info needed, you can have passion with a fwb, or a fwb with no passion. It all depends.

Are you saying you dont wether you are simeones fab or I the early stages of a relationship?

Passion wouldn't tell you that.

If you agreed to be a fwb then it’s no emotions. If either of you feel more you need to talk but be aware the other set these rules because they didn’t want a relationship

You can have passion in both situations, the only way to tell wat sort of relationship you are in is to talk about it. Know what you want and tell them,don’t compromise yourself. If you want to be in an exclusive and they want fwb, walk away.

Passion in a fwb means you have passion with other people too. Passion in a non fwb situation means you don’t have passion with others.

Well, there's got to be some reason you're shagging, doesn't there? I mean, if you don't feel lust for the other person, then it's all very mechanical and I don't really know what anyone would be doing it for, they'd be better off with a toy.

Lust doesn't have to mean romantic feelings for the person.

If you don't know what your own feelings are, you need to sit with them and see where you are.

If you don't know what the other person is after with you, and it's their lust/passion that's making you confused, just cos they're horny and make you feel desired doesn't mean they want anything more.

But you've been pretty vague, so no idea if I'm on the right track or not.
