Is my friends with benefits stringing me along?

[Anonymous]

I've had the same friends with benefits for a year and a half. We had an argument a couple months ago and I just stopped talking to him. He called me a few weeks later apologizing to me and really apologized so I forgave him and we continued our relationship but recently I realized I wanted more and I told him I wanted more but I'm not looking for a label and he said he'd give me the things he wants because it's the same thing he wants but still date other people but continue to have each other. Should I just walk away?

Right now it does not seem like you are speaking your mind it sounds like your scared to because if you don't want a label then that translates as you don't want a relationship. Which he'll take to mean he can date others. If you don't want him to date others you have to have a label. So that way he can't tip toe around and say "we are not serious though. We don't have a label your just someone i'm seeing". Labels are a concrete announcement and agreement between two people to let them know where they stand with each other.

He isn't stringing you along. He wanted a friends with benefits and you signed up for that. He will NEVER want more than that. You have done what typically happens with females and have started to attach emotion to sex. Males don't do this and if he can get the milk for free, he will not buy the cow.
Also when he does want to buy a cow, he is not going to buy one that so easily gives away milk, he will look for one that is selective and holds it's milk giving ability to a higher standard.

The question is what do you want and what is he offering. From the question "should I just walk away" it sounds like what you want is different from what he's offering.
