i've known this guy for about three years--we met through friends and ended up hooking up one night after a bunch of us went out. we have a long history. we were basically FWB, then i decided i wanted a relationship and we knew it was best to break it off. i ended up getting into a LTR and he would flirt with me but respected that i was with someone else and didn't push it further. he ended up moving to the other side of the country, but we would chat from time to time. last year, after i broke up with my ex, he was back in town, and we ended up hanging out a few times; however, we only had sex once, and didn't do anything sexual the last time we hung out. he also shared a lot of really personal intimate information with me. we've kept in communication, but he hasn't been back this way in a while.

 

so now he's coming back to the midwest for christmas and invited me to spend a weekend with him in chicago. we discussed it, and i told him that i basically wanted to see him, to hang out...not on the premise that we were going to meet just to hook up. he agreed, saying that he wants to see me, and though he is attracted to me, if him hitting on me bothers me, we need to talk about it. i told him it wasn't a big deal, i just didn't want to go there for a glorified booty call. he told me it wasn't like that at all, and that he really enjoys hanging out with me, and brought up that last time we hung out we didn't even do anything. today, he went ahead and booked a hotel for the weekend.

 

what do you guys think? i'm not exactly sure how long distance FWB works, but i feel like this scenario falls into some sort of grey area.

Does it? I would think this falls into the perfect scenario for FWB. Distance, no threat of commitment, no strings attached flirting and hookups.

 

Rock on?

 

I'd agree with the above. I had a long-distance FWB briefly this year. He came to stay with me for a week. It was awesome. We had a falling out after that, but no big deal. At least I don't have to run into him on a regular basis or anything.
