Is my Aqua FWB mad me or over being FWB?

We actually used to date years ago. He moved out east and then I moved out of state years ago but we both came back home due to the quarantine. We reconnected when we got back and decided to spend the day at the lake. The moment we saw each other it was like we hadn't skipped a beat. After a few hours, he kissed me. We couldn't keep our hands off each other (only g rated stuff). After he kissed me he admitted that he wanted to kiss me the moment he saw me. Our attraction was strong I knew we wouldn't be able to keep things G-rated for so long. I told him I didn't want a quarantine F-buddy. He laughed and said, "so you thought I contacted you so I could have sex with you? We have other people we could hang out with. I chose to come hang out with you". We were a little buzzed and he said if I wanted to come out to NY where he's at I could and invited me to his friend's lake house. He just started throwing all this stuff out there that we could do lol. He then apologized for how he handled our relationship all those years ago. We ended up hanging out 9 hours that day.

So we kept hanging out and each time we got a little more handsy with one another. We ended up talking more about our childhood issues and some other heavy topics. I said again, how I didn't want a quarantine f-buddy and he responded with, "we aren't even having sex" and I said I didn't plan on sleeping with him. He said that it was okay we didn't have to do anything. He then turned to me and said, "you can't even look me in the eyes when you're talking to me". I said pssh, yes I can I just have a hard time staying still. He said prove it, look at me in my eyes more than 10 seconds. Looking back that was probably a setup....

2 weeks ago he went to go visit some close friends that he hadn't seen in years. He thought I went out of town (changed my plans) too. He said he would've asked me to go with him to visit his friends had he had known I wasn't leaving. He suggested we take a little camping trip somewhere since I missed out on going with him to visit his friends. Later that week we went to go play miniature golf. Then we went to hang by the lake again where we ended up talking for hours. He turned to me and said, "you know you're super into me". I laughed and said, "or I was just bored during the quarantine and needed something to do and you were around". In a laughing manner, he said, "oh yea, well me too. I was just bored. I'm glad we cleared that up". We ended up having sex and afterward, I turned to him and patted his shoulder and said, "well I guess we're officially f buddies now". He didn't say anything. We eventually just laid there while he stroked my arm and we just chilled like that for a while. I asked if he's usually this touchy (it's been so long since we dated I couldn't remember) and he said, "yea when I feel connected". He then started saying how I was cold but then corrected himself and said, "not cold, just guarded". He ended up sending me the freezing face emoji and said that was me -_- lol.

A few days later he suggested we take a beach trip. On the day of the trip, he switched up where we going and said his sister and her friends were at this particular beach and that's where we were going to go instead. On the 2.5 hour drive there he didn't really talk. I kept trying to make conversation with him, to the point where it felt like forced small talk. It just ended up feeling awkward. He seemed a little off so I asked if he got agitated easily. He said sometimes he can and he asked if I thought he was agitated. I said, no, as I tend to overthink things and just let it go. We get there and the vibe between us was just so...off with us, at least in my mind. He usually is very touchy - coming up behind me, nuzzling my neck, etc., but that day barely anything. Not even a kiss. He just smacked my butt when I was reaching for something in the car lol and tried to toss me in the water but that was it. Didn't eem get the D like I wanted (._. ) smh. We said our goodbyes to his sister then headed back home and that's when it kind of hit the fan.

On the drive back we started talking about his past anger issues. He asked me when was the last time I was really angry and I said a few months ago with my ex. Somehow that conversation went into earlier that day and I said, "yea I thought you were kind of agitated earlier" Y'all he was PISSED. He said, "I asked you earlier if thought I was agitated and you told me no. You tried to ask me in a slick way by asking if I get agitated easily instead of just asking me straight up. I've been lied to all my life (he's got daddy issues) and I shouldn't have to tell someone to keep things real with me. That's the kind of stuff that pisses me off. I knew something was off, I could just feel the energy. Yea, I wasn't talking much this morning and I knew you were trying to make conversation but you should've just told me". I just sat there kind of shocked because I didn't think it was all that serious? I told him I assumed he was agitated but I wasn't sure so I just let it go.

He kind of calmed down and said, "I get that you weren't trying to be confrontational but I wanted you to be straight up with me". I just kept saying, "mmhmm". He turned to me and said, "now I feel like you're the one agitated" I said no you're telling me how you feel and I'm just listening. He tried to crack a corny joke and I laughed and said, "this is why didn't like you 4 years ago and why I don't like you now". He turned and said, "I'm getting bad vibes now. I'm not trying to make you feel bad. Did I make you feel bad?" I said, honestly yea a little bit. He apologized. This was all happening as he was pulling up to my car. I hop out and he starts putting my beach things in my car and I hand him his snacks that I put in my bag. He said, "you don't want to keep them?" I said no and kind of stood there. We gave each other an awkward hug then I went home.

He texted me the next day asking how I was feeling and I said, "ehhh..you?". I figured everything was all good since he made contact the next day. He replied and said he wasn't drinking anymore. I felt physically felt awful that day and didn't respond to him until 8 hours later. I told him I just woke up and that I wasn't feeling well. He responded 24 hours later and completely changed the topic and started talking about a show. We texted on and off for the next day and I eventually face-timed him. He didn't pick up.

I haven't heard from him in 3 days, but he's looked at in my insta stories. We talked pretty much every day so not hearing from him is odd. I thought since we were hanging out 8-10 hours each time and talking almost every day our FWB was going well. Him getting that angry and I guess disappearing/ignoring me just really threw me off.

Is this Aqua angry or lost interest/just over being FWB already?

I dunno seems like his feelings are hurt as he’s trying to renew the romance but you pushed it away by mentioning FWB or being f buddies. He seems upset that you haven’t conveyed your real feelings about the two of you and he’s disappointed. From what you wrote there are sprinkles of hints through his words and actions that he wants something more.

Hmm interesting...what has he said and done that’s indicated that he wants something more?

I just figured he didn’t because he’d eventually go back to the other coast when this is all done with.

What lake in NY?

You seem cold and spiteful

How was I being spiteful?

We’re from out west. He moved to NY.

So he was purposely being moody to see how you would react? Ew.

I don’t know if he was purposely doing it We had the top down and he kept talking about how nice the weather was so I figured he was just in his space. but the fact that he knew I was trying to make conversation but still wasn’t talkative was funky.

Seems he got cold after you two having sex and you mentioning the FWB. I think he was serious, even said he felt a connection, which is quite huge if you ask me. I think you shut the door in his face by saying you were f-buddies now. Him being quiet and turning things around on you, sounds like him being angry and hurt.

Did you ever ask him if he wanted anything serious? It seems like you never took him serious.....

Well when he said he felt connected he meant like in a general sense with people so I took it as a friendly thing. He’s extremely personable so I figured he’s just that way with a lot of people. Or when he said, “I know you’re super into me” I took that as wanting an ego stroke. Which leads me to the next part - no I didn’t take him seriously. He’s only here for a short amount of time before he goes back to his side of the country. I didn’t think taking each other seriously was even an option.

Honestly, I thought he wasn’t forthright because of the agitated thing and decided to leave me alone. Not because he has feelings.

Wel you asked him if he was always touchy feely and he said that he only did that when he felt connected to someone. That doesn't seem general. He could have said “I know you’re super into me” to test the water, or for an ego stroke.

I get the impression that you figured out a lot of things, but did not really ask him. So you were acting based on your own assumptions and yours alone. I have seen many Leo's doing that. Making assumptions and going by them, while the other persons wants and needs are almost being ignored.

Well let me ask you this: why does it bother you if he is angry, while you expected nothing more than FWB to begin with? Is it because he may be into more, but you can't handle that because that is not what you assumed?

Or are you disappointed that you are no longer the center of his attention?

I do like him. I hate to think that we’d reconnect after all these years just for things to end abruptly before he goes back. Since I thought there wasn’t a chance of this going any further I tried keep him at arms length, but him getting upset and pulling away is bothering me.

Totally agree with this ☝️

I think you gave him mixed signals.

You said that you didn’t want a fwb so he respected you and took it easy. Probably happy about how things were going and wanted to connect. But then when you finally have sex you tell him that that is what you are, and you are cold with him after that.

He doesn’t think that you are honest with him. Be straight forward to him. Aquarius don’t like mixed signals.

In the car you didn’t get to the point when you saw that he wasn’t himself. And he got upset but then apologize for it , still you told him that you didn’t like him...

I see what you’re saying. Like I said since he’s going back to his side of the country I just thought he’d want to keep it casual/no feelings involved. As far as me saying I didn’t like him I was joking and laughed when I said it. We tease each other a lot.

Casual would be fwb, and you said to him that you didn’t want that.

I don’t think he thought that you were joking. Specially after him telling you that you were cold

What I meant by I didn’t want a fwb was for us to just hang out like as friends. Not get physical. However, I can see how that would be a mixed signal.

If he’s done with this why did he contact me the next day asking me how I was feeling and continue to talk to me for the next few days?

He wasn’t done. He was still trying, giving you a chance, but you not answering him make him think you’re not interested 😅

I did answer him though. When he asked how I was feeling I said ehhh...I responded to his next message 8 hours later and explained how I felt awful and was in and out of sleep all day. The next day when he contacted me I responded then too. Granted it took me 4 hours (super busy with work) but I responded lol and that’s when I decided to call him on FT bc I was driving but he never called back or texted 🤷🏻‍♀️...but he’s continued to look at my insta stories 🤨.

I am just saying that he is behaving like that because he thinks you don’t care about him

Well he contacted me and I asked if he wanted to get together this week and so we’re seeing each other this weekend. He still seems so distant though...

it just feels off

Man, this thread gives me a fucking headache.

Should start listening to the people in here giving you solid advise, instead of always up in your head overthinking shit. The brutal honest opinion here, is you are too busy trying to project that you are not so "over eager" over him. This is probably because of how the past relationship ended. So instead of just expressing that you want to date, and rekindle an actual relationship, you are trying to act like your just "going with the flow". Instead you just come off as an ice queen, and making him feel like some piece of ass. So while you continue to be "calm and cool", all you are doing is fulfilling your own paranoia that he is gonna leave you.

If you want more from him, you gotta stop being an ice queen to the dude. If not, then he is just gonna go away from all the pushing away you are doing.
