    Waho! Holy debate! :)

    Didn't think this would go on for 4 pages.

    I'm absolutely no way attached to him, as I could care less if he's engaged. Just giving him the boot as I don't want to be a mistress!

    Then why the OP?

    Wow Chicky89 basically advertised that she was in need of a new FWB and this thread got to page 4 without a single guy jockeying for the opportunity. No wonder we're all single.

    I never once took it that way.

    And to be consistent I have to say that is 180 degrees opposite your op so now am not sure where you are at.
    I don`t have to be but at some point you need to figure it out. :flowerforyou:

    No, its not a change from my original post. I was never upset he was with someone/engaged. It was more "how can someone cheat on their other half/fiance. More of a shocker.

    I could care less what he does. I'm not mad/jealous. Yes, I have FWB's but WHEN I'm in a committed relationship, its all about that ONE guy... Its mind boggling what relationships have turned into these days.

    a relationship is simply the interaction you have with someone else. FWB type relationships (yes these are relationships) are part of the reason why quasi relationships are so common now.

    Well, you technically have a relationship with everyone that you meet & interact with. But I figure let's just cut the bull**** and go with a romantic relationship. Which case, a FWB shouldn't be a romantic relationship.

    It's about sex. No details. No kissing. No emotions.

    No kissing? WTF? Are you serious? And yes, that is a serious question. Does nobody kiss their FWB? I highly doubt it.

    No kissing during sex would be like hovering over the toilet to take a crap... can be done, but not easily perfected.

    agreed. but like others have pointed out, the 2 people can have completely different ideas about what a FWB relationship is. i think in more cases than not, one person has hopes that the FWB relationship could develop into something more.

    then they are doing it wrong. Just because you WISH your relationship meant something more than what it really is, doesnt mean it IS more.

    How many people wish that their friendship WITHOUT benefits was romantic but it isnt. Being in a FWB situation with someone that believes that this is a no-risk emotional situation, and having the intent of turning it into something else, is called having an agenda and hoping to use one thing to gain another - and you are pulling a bait and switch... Im offering no strings attached clean safe healthy fun sex! (but what I really want is for you to fall in love with me and attach all your strings to me and tell me that its about more than the sex, that you've fallen and want me and only me and we cant live without each other!!!)

    If having an emotional strings-attached relationship based on love and togetherness and grabbing life by the horns together, with kisses and flirting and looking longingly into each others's eyes... is your goal - why would you base the beginning of that on something sans all emotion and intent of togetherness ever?

    As a cover?
