Am i being irrational by being annoyed with my Fuck Buddy

ok so, myself and a former colleague , recently started exchanging very flirtatious messages, we are both separated, and decided to start getting together for some no strings attached sex, this suited me after coming out of a long relationship and (like most men) suited him also, he is not my type usually ( a bit older, used to be my boss, a bit tall/lanky/geeky) but there is clearly a sexual attraction.

We didn’t meet up for a few weeks due to me working away, but during that time he was coming across very caring, messaging me to check on my well being etc. , despite me commenting he didn’t need to and this was all no strings attached, he said he cared about me, which I thought was sweet.
We have hooked up a few times for sex and sex only, and he was quite caring making sure I was 100% sure I wanted to go ahead etc., so it felt like a safe place etc, ( I know we are both adults but still it made me feel very respected).

We hooked up again at the weekend and I didn’t really hear from him after , I know its no strings attached but still he was always so respectful and caring before, I sent a jokey message earlier about the no contact and he kind of brushed it off and said something along the lines of ‘ I guess we cant always talk every day’ which he is right in saying , but he kind of set the precedent of all of the regular messages checking on each other’s wellbeing ETC at the start of this, I sent a bit of a huffy message pretty much saying let’s just set the expectations of only messaging for pretty much a booty call, which he said worked for him etc, but I kind of feel annoyed, why could he not be like that in the first place instead of setting such a high standard?

I have never really had a fuck buddy before, am I being a bit unreasonable.

Also another thing we have talked a lot about our sexual desires before hooking up and I said how I like it a bit rough(hair pulling etc) and he seemed really turned on by it and said how he loves being all dominant , however when it came to it, he wasn’t really like that, really gentle etc.
Should I just bin it all off because he’s not really satisfying me anyway ?

I just don’t get the change in behaviour. ( im sorry if I sound Naïve , ive only really had long term releationships so I’m new to all this sexual fantasy/nsa stuff)

So many great alternatives to fuck buddy here!

OP, the whole point of a porking pal is that you are friends so you do message and sometimes meet up without sex. It’s a friendship that doesn’t have enough substance, attentiveness, or attraction to be anything more than bonking buddies.

It sounds like you want him to be caring and attentive towards you and if that’s what you are looking for, then really you need a relationship.

Sorry OP but I think that you are being a bit unreasonable. Having a fwb/fuck buddy doesn't work in reality for some people and it is harder than you think to find someone that you are attracted to enough that you want to have sex with them, but also won't get attached to in any deeper sense.

Maybe him coming on stronger and then fading you back out with the messages was a bit unethical, but you did both agree that this would just be about sex.
