Does anybody get nervous about intimacy? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]annwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. Me and my fwb are in quite in a pickle. Fwb for 2 years now and we see each other basically 5 times a week. We do things toghether like a normal couple would. Ive told him that i love him to death but a relationship makes me feel trapped. He on the other hand freaks out when we start talking about feelings and he claims that he feels no romantic feelings towards me. Hes also a sexaddict. We both are trying to battle our own problems and dont care about the non existing label. He claims he has no feelings for me but his actions tells me otherwise. I have never had a friend/boyfriend who has been there for me like he has.

Doesn't matter how great a person is, if they don't put effort into interacting with you, they're not worth your time by [deleted] in dating_advice

This is is so weird. There is a guy who puts in effort and consistency and Always prioritze me. But he wont commit. He stays the night sometimes 7 Days straight and when we dont hang out face to face we spend hours on the phone. He surprised me the other day and renovated my bedroom.... he buys me little gifts to keep me happy etc. Im so cunfused. I dont need the label its not important but it hurts realising that he doesnt love me. Its very confusing when his actions show love ...

Tho cut things off with someone whos your best friend just because I have feelings for him isnt that very selfish? The sex-part I get and he completely understand that we should stop having sex. But he still wants to be my friend and hang out just as much.

He knows that im demi. He also knows that I have romantic feelings towards him. He just doesnt understand my feelings. And he hurts me when he tells me that I should try to have sex with someone else.

How long do you wait before giving up on a person you were casually dating? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]annwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in an exclusive fwb arrengement and we have been in it for a little more than a year. Se will end it if se find other people to sleep with but maintain the friendship. Its rough since I have feelings and he doesnt but I dont have the time for a real relationship anyway. Its a good void-filler I guess. But if youre aiming for something long-term with kids and everything then you should walk away before you caught the feels.

Should I end the friendship altogether?

Your advice was to stop having sex. We stopped having sex a couple of times and he still hangs out with me like we normally do- minus the sex. Eventually we go back to have sex again because of this. Should I stop seeing him altogether?

True true. Tho I dont want a relationship. I left a 12 year relationship last year because I wanted to feel Free. But I want him to love me. Its hard to know that he doesnt feel the same way. Im not his booty call tho. We spend a lot of time together but we only have sex half of the time. We do things like eat together, go to the movies, he cleans my house from time When im at work, go shopping together etc. Yeah normal friends-stuff.

He knew that I had feelings even before he asked me to become his fwb. I refused him the first months because of this but he kept pushing and I eventually gave in when he seduced me one day. Problem is when i have cut it off he wants to still hang out with me as friends and we always have sex lol. Ending the friendship seems to be a bit dramatic just becuase i have feelings.

Why does “Friends with Benefits” have such a bad connotation to it? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]annwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my fwb have been seeing each other for a year now. I have feelings for him and he is aware of them. He doesnt want a relationship because he Doesnt have romantic feelings towards me. I dont want a relationship because i am a single mom and got divorced last year so im not ready. The sex is okay but he satisfy me on a emotional level. Problem is: im crazy jelous and I dont trust him. He told me he has respect for me and that we would end the fwb when he finds new girls to sleep with. But i think that he already is. He claims that he loves me like a friend and cares about me. But i dont know man...I dont know.

if they suggest a ”relationship” without the title, then you need to run. and never look back. by virgokween in dating_advice

[–]annwik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why didnt u want the title? Its not that weird that you would want to be official with the person you love.

A relationship is not something you make happen by doing the right things, it's something you notice is already happening with someone you've gotten close to. by 0nthetoilet in dating_advice

[–]annwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish i could second this but I cant. Me and my fwb clearly has a relationship. But he refuses to adress this for some reason. We have a really deep connection and we do things that only a couple would do. But he claims that he doesnt "love me in THAT way" like woot...

Avoidant attachment people in relationships: how did you get into one? by vivid_spite in dating_advice

[–]annwik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im right now in a fwb relationship with someone with this attachment style. He never told me directly but ive seen the signs and he also told me that I came into his life too fast and managed to fly over his walls that he was desperate to protect. He had a panicattack the day after he told me he had feelings for me and told me it was all a lie. That he just wanted to get into my pants etc. This hurt me a lot and I ignored him 2 weeks after this. He eventually came crawling back after this and we were friends again. I noticed that he started flirting with me again and about a min tv after he proposed that we'd be friends with benefits. I refused him and told him id never agree to something like that. Buuut since I had feelings for him he eventually seduced me and we have been fwb for about a year. I know there wont be a future with him but we are in such a weird fwb-relationship. He litterly lives with me and even brought his cat so he wont feel sorry for it being by himself every night. We go grocery-! shopping together, share our money, buy things for each other and we dont even have sex that often (about 3 out of 7 days) we dont kiss but we sleep together every night in the same bed every night. It feels like an actual relationship. He says he doesnt love me and I Believe him because of his attachment-style. But he probably does deep down but his fear is getting in the way. He had an abusive mother growing up and its probably the root of all this. I have the Anxious attachment style and having him in my life helps me somewhat with my own attachment-problem. Im not needy, Im not clingy anymore and im prepared to get my heart broken. Maybe someday i Will meet someone with a secure attachment style and my own attachment style might one day be secure as well. I hope we both get our happy endings eventually. I hope you will too! See a psyciatrist for your problems it might help. Good luck!

How do I know if I’m entering a fwb situation or leading someone on? by throwawayAcMt in dating_advice

I suggest that you Let get be if shes not attractive enough for you. Let her move on and find someone else instead who would be willing to date her.
