Katherineos123 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 So, Ive been in a Friends With Benefits type situation with this guy since about March... We have a great time together, but he lives far away, so we only see each other on weekends, maybe twice a month... Although I have told him since jump street that I dont want a long distance relationship... I feel as though he is starting to get more and more attached to me... He's made little jokes here and there about what to "call us" and he tells me that he's not seeing anyone else and doesnt plan to, and he has demonstrated some jealousy. Im concerned because I really do care about him, but I dont want to lead him on because I dont want a relationship with him. Ive told him time and time again, that if Im not giving him what he's looking for, I would hold no ill will towards him for trying to find it. I just dont know what to do... I mean, this obviously has to end at some point (although to be honest, I dont want it to end juuuuust yet) And preferably when that does happen, it ends with us staying friends. Ive never really done the FWB thang before... What are your expiriences?
make me believe Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 This is pretty typical for a FWB situation. Even when you're upfront about your wants & expectations from the beginning, somebody almost always gets attached and starts developing feelings for the other person. IMO you should cut this off right away. Continuing to have sex with him is only going to lead him on, and that is a mean thing to do. If you keep leading him on, this situation will not end with the two of you staying friends. Actually, now that you know he has feelings for you, it'll probably be difficult to be friends anyway because he's still going to get jealous of other guys, etc.
