Guy why do you play mind games with your FWB?

What is the point? If you both mutually agree being and friends with benefits then why the mind games? Texting all day for weeks then disappearing, wanting to be exclusive, wanting to go out to dinner and do things? When you both know it will be nothing more. Wtf? I am about give up on guys seriously why can't you ( well some) be mature and enjoy what you have? I'll allow anon. Answers but trolls beware! Thank you for your thoughts and feedback.

  • It doesn't sound like mind games to me.It sounds like an FWB relationship.It sounds like YOU are the one expecting more from him (based on what's written above).Is it not true that in some friendships there are points where both parties hang out,and when one is busy,you may go for weeks without spending time together or communication may falter?It happens...thats friendship.But If you're expecting him to check in with you all the time or take you on "dates" or extra behavior that represents a real relationship,then it's you that's being unrealistic.Sorry,no offense.He is doing and being what's allowed in your association...and getting the cookies for free.

    • Ummm he is the one insisting on the above not I . I'd be happy without them. That is my point. But I see your point on the checking in part. Since he always said "I can't need to talk to you everyday". Perhaps he raised my expectations there.

    • ohhhh...i misread the details.But now I get it.Maybe he is starting to see you as something more,hence his behavior.These things happen from time to time.

    • Thanks you. Maybe he is. Not sure, if and when he contacts me I guess ill lnow. But I won't contact him until he does. I do agree with your answer with regard to fWBs in general :)

  • That is the nature of it. The guy can do that freely because there is no commitment. I would say in this case you truly are his backseat girl...he can get physical and even dating satisfaction for no.commitment. It seems like you are emotionally attached, otherwise you wouldn't care. If he was that into you though I think he would stick around more.

    • Nah..more like fed up and ready to move on

    • Well go for it, just like he has no real obligation to you here, neither do you to him!

    • I totally get what you mean. Y'all are saying she has the feelings and maybe to a certain degree she does but what excuse is it for him to play the mind games especially if he was the one to initiate the whole friends with benefits thing to begin with. I mean as a grown man why add feelings... texting and calling and dates if you know we are just having sex. Been there girl. It's no excuse. friends with benefits or not sex is not suppose to be complicated. Hence that's why people leave it as sex to start with to leave drama at the door. You come get me off the get tf out lol no convo no nothing because he obviously don't know how to keep it simple.

  • When have people and relationships ever been simple?

    • true that

    • Here here! I thought fWB is a good solution. But men take their mind games with them no matter what. ugh

    • Yeah you really have to set ground rules first or just have multiple options :) aha

  • I think I was in a situation of FWB once. BUt I never called it that. I did love/like her very much, but she kept saying we were like FWB, I guess because she was fat she felt insecure and thought I was out sleeping around with other girls and I wouldn't be into her, when in fact I actually liked her.

    The FWB part about us was that we were both foreigners abroad, and we new that she would eventually go home, and I would stay a while longer before I went back to my country... that was why we felt it wouldn't last entirely.

    But I was true to her, as I am sure she was with me.

    It's hard to just have sex without the emotion.

  • You know I'm so amused by this word "FWB"

    "My FWB" basically means "My bitch"

    So never have any high expectations from anybody who wants to have a sex with you out of more or less serious relationship!

    • Well said for most girls. However some of do us sh*t on our own terms and own it. If I am his bitch as you put it then most def. he is mine. I use him to relieve sexual urges. I don't get emotionally involved and would rather keep the convo to a min. Yes I own it. But what I don't get is why the little d*** still is inclined to play games ! *shruggs*

  • Im not sure how that's playing games. Maybe he has mixed feeling about you...

    • I hardly think that's the case. Men usually know what type of relationship they want right off the bat. They don't change their position on that. Besides I never led him on differently .

    • im glad you can tell men how they are...

    • Ah OK point taken. I still don't get the disappearing act. Even when I agreed to his terms to make things comfortable

  • maybe its because you didn't make him a sandwhich after sex?

    • lol

  • Because FWB is for losers

    • How so? If two people are genuinely not in a position to have a relationship, it beats having NSA and having sex with random people at bars.

    • I just don't believe that people can have sex without emotion. One person is eventually going to fall for the other. It's as if they go into it, knowing they want to fall for that person but use "I don't want to be in a relationship" as an excuse..FWB is for LOSERS
