Signs a friends with benefits has feelings for you? I've never had a friends with benefits before so I don't know.

I'm new to this whole friends with benefits thing. This guy and I are exclusive, he basically said we are "FWB who aren't hooking up with anyone else." When we hookup/have sex, we end up spending the night together. This happens about 3-4 times a week. We talk everyday. He usually texts me first but sometimes I text first. We usually see one another everyday. He always seems really happy to see me. We are relatively touchy in public, not necessarily kissing although he has kissed me in public twice, just little kisses though. Is this normal for friends with benefits or does it seem like more than that? I just don't have any way to tell because I have no previous friends with benefits experience.

i figured he had feelings for me. turns out, he wanted to be exclusive for "health reasons" aka lower chance of STDs; he was hanging around me a lot and texting me all the time because he likes me as a friend and says that when he's hooking up with a girl he likes to listen to what she has to say and get to know her; we were spending the nights together because he didn't want to be mean and send me home. but he's looking for nothing serious and feels no spark. I guess I'm awful at reading guys..

  • I don't think that's a FWB relationship. If see each other so much, you're exclusive, spending nights together and doing other stuff besides having sex... what's the difference with having a boyfriend/girlfriend?

    If you're exclusive but just by chance, then that's another story. But if the arrangement is you two only have sex with each other...

  • From what you describe, it does sounds like this is more of a 'relationship' with a mutual sense of feelings and commitment way beyond a FWB arrangement. It's probably best you both talk about the nature of this arrangement/relationship and try to establish where this is actually going... I hope that helps! :o)

    • As per your update... Well at least you've spoken with him now and you know where you stand. It can be hard to judge peoples actions sometimes, which is why you were best speaking with him and clarifying exactly where you stood. At least you know how he really feels now.

  • :) With my current boyfriend, we started out as friends with benefits and it's similar to yours :). It seems like he sees you as a more than friends. Usually friends with benefits don't make any time besides of sex, if he's spending time with you and said that he wants to be exclusive, it's going to lead to something more.

  • Most noticeable sign would be the beginning of jealousy!

  • Wow... Man, guys this day and age have it so easy.

  • I would say you have a great relationship. If the guy really has good intentions, he does wants to keep it a little lighter so no one gets hurt. You two seem to be happy so enjoy it!

  • You, my dear, are in an unofficial relationship.

  • Imo, the whole friends with benefits is empty and meaningless. What good is it? Not trying to pass judgement just giving my two cents

    • What good is it? It's sex without strings attached. If it's not your cup of tea, perfectly understandable and a common sentiment, but I don't see how a person asks that question.

    • How does a person ask any question based on a biased opinion lol? I see no good in nsa sex. It's empty and pointless.
