Why would my ex-FWB tell me he wants to be there for me (I’m going through bad depression)?

He starts falling for you. Don't allow him otherwise you'll never get out of the Situationship.

Well I was breaking things off with him actually and told him I’m going through a lot. He told me he thinks I’m great and everything, seemed upset and hurt that I wanted to distance myself.

Well i guess from now on is Your Next Move

Well would a guy want to keep you around if he wasn’t somewhat into you romantically? We didn’t have sex yet.

[DannyUk2017]

But friends with benefits is not about sex? How this thing works anyway? Or i got it all wrong? 🤔

[Asker]

I don't know more like flirtation and sexual convos and cuddling just one time. I don't know if it’s even friends with benefits. LOL

[DannyUk2017]

friend with benefits
a friend with whom one has an occasional and casual sexual relationship.

So means u2 don't even know what stage you at?🤔🤦‍♂️

[Asker]

He just reached out to me here and there to flirt then I suggested meeting up one night, I went over and we just cuddled and played around a little bit but no sex. Talked on and off. In person he’s awkward and quiet around me but super friendly with everyone else.

[DannyUk2017]

So that means actually he wants more than friends with benefits... and you don't want so u2 now are in limbo

[Asker]

Well he never really asked me out. So I took it he wasn’t all that interested.

[DannyUk2017]

Oh. Ok

[Asker]

You still think maybe he wanted more?

[DannyUk2017]

Ofcourse, but that only if you made it clear that you are friends with benefits

[getwiththepg]
