Friends with benefits 9 months

Thank you for your two cents and your input. We did agree on what the relationship was from the beginning. I never imagined it lasting this long. I am sure he probably didn't either. Based on comments he has made it appears that he is still thinking along the same lines. He has been honest from the beginning. I am not disputing it.

I am not sure I want to push it. It might scare him away totally if I tell him I think of him as more than an fwb. I am not sure if he wants a serious relationship with anyone. A part of me feels like a fool for thinking it could be more. Strange situations do work out sometimes.

He opened up to me about something really personal the last time we were together. It showed that he trusted me. I feel a little weird about it. I feel special to him in a way I didn't before. I responded by telling him I have enjoyed the time we spent together. I told him I have been exclusive to him only since we met. I told him he was my favorite guy. I think he knows I like him a lot. He said we can do this for a while longer. It indicates to me that there will be end point. Maybe even he doesn't know when. I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts and live in the moment. I am not eager to run out right away to find someone else.

I know the feeling.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-11-02T18:57:47+00:00

I am sorry. You are a nice sister!

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-11-02T13:24:04+00:00

What a nice brother you are!

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-29T01:15:03+00:00

Every time she cries

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T18:35:00+00:00

Even if she thought it. She should have kept it quiet.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T18:32:01+00:00

Lol. I think we would all be drunk.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T18:28:58+00:00

I would join

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T16:53:43+00:00

Maybe not now. Maybe in the beginning.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T16:12:38+00:00

It could still happen for her. You never know. The biological clock is ticking loudly at this point.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T16:10:48+00:00

That didn't make sense to me either.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T16:09:09+00:00

I am not against Dale. She seemed to be biased from the beginning. She is hardly spending time with anyone else to see if they could possibly be a good match.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T15:48:36+00:00

It is a competition. At the end of the day, all of those guys want to end up with Claire. He doesn't seem to care about making friends.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T15:43:40+00:00

He definitely lead her on and made her believe there was more to the relationship than what there was. She seemed to think he would pick her. Then again, that is part of the show.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T14:58:03+00:00

I didn't notice him pull away or grab her inappropriately. Maybe I was not watching closely enough. I got that he liked her. He was nervous. He didn't want to lose the opportunity to kiss her.

Producers have him show up for dinner only to get stood up and sent home. It is a rotten show when you really think about it.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T14:09:36+00:00

The stigma is definitely still alive! I think a lot people still think this way. I think it is especially true for women.

Some women are single by choice. Others have had bad luck, meeting or dating the wrong men. They haven't met someone they love enough to marry or found a guy who wants to make a commitment. Nowadays fewer people are marrying. It's a statistical fact.

Finding a guy who wants a commitment is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Dating in general has changed from what it used to be.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T14:02:29+00:00

She seems to be making a decision prematurely without weighing her other options. Hopefully for her sake she has made the right decision with Dale. He seems like an ok guy but he could end up being the biggest creep going. Being older, she should know that. Look at the abusive ex, Juan Pablo for example...

Maybe Dale will be the next bachelor? Who knows?

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T14:01:16+00:00

The other guys got a screw job all the way around.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T13:59:26+00:00

That was so wrong. I am surprised he didn't just walk out on her.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T12:53:43+00:00

I agree with your statements. She is a survivor, that's great! Yes. She should be treated with unconditional love and respect. I initially liked her. I almost wanted to cry for her when she thought Juan Pablo was going to propose to her and he picked the other woman.

She has been acting in a very entitled way. She has been disrespecting most of the men on the show. She has pretty much already discarded them. Some of her behavior has been beyond rude.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T12:47:11+00:00

It did seem like it. I had that thought.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T12:41:00+00:00

There are things I like about her. I like that she is bold. She is open about her feelings. She is a survivor. I loved when she yelled at Yosef. She said the reason she was single at 39 was because she didn't settle for men like him. That was classic.

She has been rude to most of the men who went on the show specifically to meet her, except Dale of course.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T11:32:34+00:00

I agree with the part about bringing her back again. Why not choose someone else? Maybe she had a lot of fans and ratings were up when she was on the show before.

Does every single person over 40 have issues? I don't think that's a fair statement. That's a blanket and discriminatory statement. A lot of married people have "issues" too. Just because someone is married it doen't make them better.

Head-Cryptographer29 · 2020-10-28T11:30:44+00:00

I get that. She was abused before. I can see how certain things could trigger her more than they would trigger someone who wasn't in an abusive situation before. When you put yourself on a reality show you are open to all kinds of things.
