My friend rejected my proposal of FwB?

My male best friend just rejected my proposal of being friends with benefits. Why should he do that? I'm pretty and he's a virgin, so it's unlikely he has other girls in his mind. He won't even talk about it or tell me why. How do I convince him?

  • There is a distinct possibility that he understands about what eventually happens in F W B situations and, if he is really smart and experienced, then he likely realizes that steady sex will cause him to fall in love and he doesn't want that right now or with you.

    This is what I usually write for F W B questions since it is usually some woman upset that either she or the guy got feelings after being F W Bs for a while...

    Congratulations!

    Your question is today's Question of the Day illustrating that Friends With Benefits is an illusion because eventually one of them will get emotionally involved as if in a couple.

    It's not a question of "if" it's going to happen, but "when".

    If it is any consolation, in December 1988 just before I turned 26, I was involved in this intense 2.5 week F W B situation with my roommate. I was very emotionally involved, but, for her, I was just a convenient lay between more "serious BF"s.

    So, was I a stupid fool? Yes and no. I knew better, but I wanted what I got into and paid the price. I learned through The School of Hard Knocks just like you are...

    • He's 22, and he's not seeing any girl that I know. He just said he doesn't want to do those things with friend s.

    • Probably views you as a sister then aka friendzoned hardcore

    • @Giggletr0n Well, that's not kind on his part.

  • Simply said, you respect his choice if you value your friendship with him.
    He doesn't owe you anything and you don't owe him anything.

    Don't try to press and convince him, it won't end well.
    I cut off with my best female friend of years for similar reasons.

    • So a girl offered you sex and you cut her off? What is the problem?

    • She didn't respect the fact that I had a girlfriend. She acted like she was entitled to it. I don't believe in friends with benefits. I tried to save the friendship but she didn't want to hear reasons, so good riddance.

    • I see, but he has no girl in his life. He should at least give me a reason.

  • He doesn't want to have sex with you. Leave it at that. He obviously likes you only as a friend and wants to keep it that way. Find another dude would be a good option

  • He did that because he has the choice to. He rejected you, accept it.

    • He could at least explain himself.

    • He actually doesn’t have to. You’re just a friend.

  • Cause he doesn't like you

  • He's probably intimidated- or gay. Play the seductress as that is something few men can resist. Don't tell him anything. Next time you see him wear a short skirt or something sexy and no panties, flash him. Better yet, though this will take some courage, tell him if he's not interested you will need to take care of it yourself and casually start fondling yourself- or at least acting as if, If that doesn't turn him on... not sure what would

    • He says he wants to do it only with a real girlfriend.

  • Haha Maybe he isn’t into casual sex. Maybe he’s insulted because you just want his virginity. Maybe he just isn’t interested in sex with you. Lots of possibilities.

    • He could at least explain himself. There are guy's who'd pay to get with me.

    • He doesn’t owe you an explanation. And from the sound of things, maybe this has done you some good.

    • I'm not sure. I did everything for him, even offering him my body. He could at least express himself.

  • You can't convince him. If you want to remain friends, the best thing to do is to pretend that the question was never asked. If you want to ruin the friendship, keep trying.

    If you are too hurt to keep in contact, that's understandable too.

    • I'm not hurt, but I'd like a good explanation from him.

    • This is one of those times where we don't get explanations. We just accept it and move on.

  • Maybe he has taste and wants a real relationship.

  • He said no. End of story. You're not entitled to him

    • I may not be entitled to him, but I always keep him company and be good with him. He could at least talk more about it. He doesn't see I just want to help him too with sex.

  • Maybe he isn't in to you? him being a virgin and you being sexually available doesn't mean that he has to bang you. You know he could be dealing with some sexual identity issues aka he may be gay

    • He's not gay but doesn't even try to find a girl.

    • He doesn't want a girlfriend yet, there are a small section of men that wait out for that one special someone whether they find them of not or maybe he just isn't interested in any kind of relationship sexual or otherwise; having a penis does not always mean that the guy is sex mad... trust me on this!

    • I understand, but a part of me thinks he's just putting himself down and chimping out. That's self defeating and toxic in my opinion.

  • how old is he? sounds like he didn't hit puberty yet xD
    does he have a promise ring or something lmfao

    • He's 22, and he's not seeing any girl that I know. He just said he doesn't want to do those things with friend s.

    • is he attracted to you at all? like have you ever caught him checking you out?

    • He should! I'm pretty, good ass and breasts. He's very cute but a wreck with girls. I try to help him and he says he wants to do by himself. Smh.

  • lulz

  • Ask me instead.

  • Ask him TBH

    • by the way I have Q related to friends with benefits. Can I DM?

  • You don't, he said no so that's it. Act like an adult and respect that.

    • I can respect it, but he could at least explain himself.

    • He doesn't have to

  • funny i asked a woman out the other day and she turned me down. I'm a man she's a woman i asked myself the same thing. "why should she do that"? My guess is your response to reading this would be "she wasn't interested, she doesn't owe you a reason". Now apply that to your situation.
    Glad i could help
