New Again Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 The way you communicate is by being open, honest, and intellectually aware of what you are doing. If both parties agree and can play the game, then I don't see any harm in this kind of relationship. If either party can't set aside their emotions, it is a guaranteed drama inducer. I completely agree with this part. However, what is your distinction between NSA and FWB?? Seriously, how do you treat your friends? Generally people do nice things for their friends, treat them with respect, etc.
dreamergrl Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I still don't see how you 'break up' with a fwb. But if it's not working out, you're getting to attached.. then just cease the sexual relationship.
Vet Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I completely agree with this part. However, what is your distinction between NSA and FWB?? Seriously, how do you treat your friends? Generally people do nice things for their friends, treat them with respect, etc. The distinction is a previous friendship really. NSA = no contact beyond sex. FWB = friendship with occasional sex. I am good to my friends, do things that are nice for them, treat them with respect, but I don't make them romantic candlelit dinners and rub their feet to the sounds of music playing in the background. That would be extremely weird, whether I happened to be also sleeping with them or not.

Generally people do nice things for their friends, treat them with respect, etc. Truthfully, I have no idea what kind of relationships I have? Maybe it is just called casual dating. I can be only myself. There are different details in every relationship. For example, the relationship with a much younger guy is very different from relationships with older guys. We can not go out and he comes to my place to have sex. With older guys, we may go out occasionally and they typically like to host. I am trying to talk with them about their life, GFs, wifes, childhood but they are not very open.
Lizzie60 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 sorry I haven't read the whole thread.. But is it possible that he didn't answer your emails/calls because he's in Europe? I think that he probably just want a FWB relationship.. but at your end.. it has changed.. this is NOT good.. for YOU.. my advice: have an honest talk with him.. and if he only wants to remain in a FWB relat.. move on.. you'll hurt yourself in the long run.. if you stay.
Sandita Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I think that you should do whatever you want! If you want to stick with him - do it! I guess I had a FWB relationship for a little while with a guy, before I started dating my boyfriend. It lasted lie two months...

What name of other relationship that I can have with a guy who is much younger? He is not an open person. I have no idea what is on his mind.
Kamille Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Wait... Are you saying you guys never discussed your relationship status? How did you come to the conclusion that this was a FWB arrangement? More importantly, why did you come to that conclusion? Are you perhaps avoiding commitment yourself? Or perhaps trying to avoid the pain that might come from commitment by avoiding more serious Rs?
