So, if you're fine with the current status of your friendship, why are you confused? Neither one of you wants a "relationship", you've both acknowledged it, and you both ok with the whole FWB thing.
I'm confused because he says sweet stuff, does cute and sweet stuff. Stuff a boyfriend or an "interested" guy would do. Yet, he's not interested in me in any other way that friends. I am just wondering why he does what he does! Why go out of your way to wait on me, ask me to sleep over, do cute couple stuff but only want FWB?0 -

We aren't having sex. We do other stuff. But not sex.0 -
Try to see how long you can go without seeing him (I dunno, a FEW MONTHS) until he contacts you. Keep blowing him off. Make your life seem more important because it is. If communication stops completely on his end, you have an answer. Women, If you let men use you, they will. That's the bottom line. Oh, and I've been there and I've learned the hard way. I'm in my thirty's and I know how they think... I'm a manxpert.
Manxpert. lol Funny.
It only took 2 weeks until this guy was calling and asking me to STAY ALL NIGHT which he didn't do before. I blew him off a few times when in reality I was just going home for the night doing NOTHING. But, I made him think I was busy and couldn't see him for a few hours to just hang out if nothing else. Took 2 weeks and bam..he was calling and wanting me to sleep over.
He sounds like a smooth operator. NO matter how appealing he sounds. Tell him you have more important things to do. Say it like you mean it and cut the convo short. He might start buying you **** and try taking you places and spending money on you. This is where it gets fun, because you keep turning him down, down down... he either drops you and you know you didn't mean a lick to him or he breaks down and cries and tells you he loves you. Still not enough. Tell him you don't care if he loves you unless you're in a committed relationship. Once he says it and means it, then you got yourself a man and not a booty call. You happy with just booty calls, then keep him and find you another better man on your spare time. Two can play. Yes, indeedy.0 -
Think of it this way. If in any part you are giving your heart to him it's a piece of you that you can't get back that is replaced by him, your intention for him. If you have that special someone in mind to spend the rest of your life with what are you gonna have left of your heart to give to him as a gift. It's like a quilt that get's a hole in it from over use. You could store it and protect it from moths and dust or you could use it and get comfort from it in the meantime, biding your time for that special someone. Then you have a somewhat raggedy gift to give him instead of the prized treasured quilt you had intention of giving in whole to the person that deserved it.0

Because you allow him too.
And you keep sayinhg "we do other stuff". If "other stuff" involves genitalia (touching, *kitten*, etc...), it's STILL SEX.
Sheesh!! I thought we were all beyond the Bill Clinton "oral sex isn't sex" debates!!!0 -
Sweet Jesus. No wonder human relationships take so much to evolve. DON'T stoop down to a mind game level, DON'T do the "two can play that game" thing. If he really is immature enough to not make a decision when you have made it clear--drop him and MOVE ON only. If he is lying and just around for the sex (yes, the sex) drop him and MOVE ON ONLY. The moment you become passive-aggressive, elusive in your meanings, or any form of dishonest--you are just as bad if not as bad as he is. Why? Because you, OP, are smart and good enough to already know the difference. Don't listen to anyone who's telling you to be that kind of person.0

Yeah, I will start playing a little bit more hard to get with him. See how he acts. Thanks
I know some women out there are in committed relationships and disagree with what I'm saying or asking. I know how it sounds. It sounds crappy. It is, but, I'm okay with the situation. Other than, being confused wanting to know why he takes it to such another level when he doesn't have to? 0 -

This is true. Stooping to his level would be kind of crappy, huh? Since I don't like the level he has stooped to. Thanks. UGH OMG THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS IN GENERAL.
Not yelling at you but just having so many different opinions and different advice. It's crazy. I think what's best for me is to just be friends with him and not worry so much and don't look into the situation so much! Let things just be. Be a calm person and if I get hurt, it's my own fault.
I'll take everyones advice and go with it though. I do appreciate everyone caring enough to talk to me! 0 -
This is awesome advice. The only thing I warrent you to be careful of is that you have crossed the boundaries and it's generally something you can't maintain. It's near impossible to go back to friends once you've gone that far. Be very cautious and He may have hidden feelings that could be dug up. You've both deceived your selves and each other with this activity and your not being honest with yourself. Just beware that it could get really hairy and sometimes giving time is the best possible answer. I have personally witnessed relationships get bad with what your describing. Be well I'm sending a prayer of peace and wisdom to discern your best option.Sweet Jesus. No wonder human relationships take so much to evolve.

Fit4Mom-
Thank you so much. I like your advice as well as Castle's. We haven't stopped being friends or taken it past friendship as far as labeling ourselves as more. Just friends who mess around I guess. I think it's possible for us to be just friends. It's just the temptation that gets us everytime. Because we're comfy with each other.
I will be okay and am not at all going to stress the situation. Not worth it. Thanks for talking to me. 0 -
I haven't read the whole thread, but my advice... You deserve a guy who shows you he cares by his words AND his actions.
It doesn't matter if a guy says he's not interested but acts it, or if he says he is interested and doesn't act it... forget him.0 -

WOW you take advice in great stride! I am impressed with your thoughtfulness and intention to value the wisdom of the people you ask for it from. What a great person you are. There are so few people out there that actually take the time to listen. You must be one smart cookie. I am really impressed by the integrity of the character you've shown us today. Thank you for being a great example and willing to listen.0

Lol That made me smile. Thanks. I definitely keep up with every single response. If I'm taking the time to ask for advice I will listen and actually will take the advice! Wether I like it or not.
I'm glad you consider me smart. I know this thread may not make me look very smart in the men department but that's why I'm asking for advice so I can straighten up in that area! I'm not "boy crazy". I have actually only had 1 boyfriend. Ever. From 15 years old to 22 and I've been single since 22 (I'm 25). I just don't want to settle down for awhile with anyone.0 -
Because it's easy for him.. You are accepting it.. so he doesn't have to "worry" about you taking the kisses and lovey dovey stuff another way-even though you are. You are easy for him.
He says "no, I don't want anything more than a friendship".. and you still come back the next day. You are easy for him. He can do whatever he wants with no worries.So, if you're fine with the current status of your friendship, why are you confused? Neither one of you wants a "relationship", you've both acknowledged it, and you both ok with the whole FWB thing.

Well, I'm going to stop that. I'll be friends with him but not going to be "easy" for him anymore. Make him either prove self or just let him go.

Just get out.
You are better than that.
I was in that same situation 3 or 4 different times. It never works.
If you want to be friends with him and he wants to be friends with you, stop with the making out, that's not "being friends", I don't make out with any of my friends. If you have feelings for him, walk away. You are going to be the one getting hurt and then you'll be out a friend and sad.
You'll meet someone who WANTS you in everyway possible. My husband told me he knew he wanted to marry me the first time we met. He told me he loved me after a week. Today is our 3 year wedding anniversary.
There is someone out there for you that is a million times better.
And maybe it is this guy, but it's not the right time for him, and so you shouldn't be strung along because he doesn't know what's right in front of him.0
