Fwb

Anyone have one? Does it work or does it always get messy?

I’ve been single 4 years. Have the chance to enjoy some fun with a fwb but not sure if it’s a good idea. I’m confident I wouldn’t fall for him and want more.

in the movies, it always ends badly 😂 can it work in real life?

I've had a couple and it's worked out fine. For me, it's a temporary fairly short term dating/sex thing, and no strings. Condoms and birth control, check.

I won't have any other type of situationship. Keep it light, fun and non serious.

Worked for me. Still friends with the guy 10 years later 🤣

Worked for me, lots of fun. Was never going to work as a relationship and ended as he wanted something more committed and we weren’t right for each other in that way. Still one of my best friends now and both happily with other people.

Nope, didn’t work for me because the words and the actions didn’t align so it completely messed with my head and I had to walk away.
