Trying to pick out brains. I have a FWB with a guy friend and we’re very much attracted and close to each other. Unfortunately, he moved, but there will be occasional visits. To the point of things, I made a clever reply to his story that sounds sexual and he said, “why are you so horny? 🤭”

I very much like him and told him he was sexy. But geez that sort of question sounds bad to me 😅 I wanted to clarify it came from pure innocence initially but it turned out that way 🤷🏻‍♀️ should I think bad?

Edit: I totally messed up by being vulnerable and he disappeared. Idk whether to apologize or leave him alone 😞

He is teasing you prob

but actually not all guys want it to be sexual talk all the time. Sounds like you always throw it in there or try to steer the convo that way? I mean maybe he just wants to talk about actual things and not just flirt with you?

I kind of get the impression it is a needy thing from you


It came from innocence that I saw he was on a stool when hyping his audience since he’s a drummer for a band. My thought was, “wow he looks cool up there!” And then it turned to, “he looks good on top 😂” I was being clever. I’m not horny not at that moment anyways. I do not want my relationship to be 💯 sexual

This is your THIRD thread in recent weeks, asking dxpers to interpret a text correspondence.

Since you seriously lack basic comprehension skills, maybe you should work on that, instead of pestering the dxp community with your juvenile crap.


Yes, good! Hatred fuels me, keep going 😁 can’t do anything about it anyways loser

No, you are the loser, because you can't even understand a simple text message time and time again.

My my, stalking me now too? I haven’t been on for a month or so.

Cool story bro, move on. The loser is the one who bullies and it’s a PUBLIC FORUM just if you need glasses and brain to figure that out 😁

Pointing out your acute idiocy isn't bullying and nor is it stalking (btw, your post history is available to everyone), it's being honest (also known as having an opinion).


Being on a public forum doesn't provide you immunity from any criticism, especially when your requests for advice are asinine. Of course, you're perfectly within your rights to post such threads, just as I am perfectly within my rights to call you out as an imbecile.


Once again, you're inability to grasp the fundamental meaning of anything, either in this thread or in your own private text messages, only highlights how clueless and unbelievably dense you are.


Ciao!

He's not as sexual as you, so I would stick to what @TXCowboy said about 80/20.

Basically, he knows you want him with that response, and he called you out for it.

Just stick to non flirty, boring talk and make it sexual in when he is in your presence.

It will save you the hassle of feeling rejected by him.

Act more like a friends since the benefits aren't happening right now.

I just feel so awful now. I got way too comfortable. I wanted to be playful and I suck at social cues over text. He responded saying, “we definitely don’t have the same taste when it comes to me 😂” I took it seriously trying to hype him up when it wasn’t necessary. It’s so awkward atm

The embarrassment will fade, just don't bring up sexual stuff and act indifferent and bland and he will be all over you. Guys are annoying like that. 😆

I'm used to hearing that I am overtly sexual with a guy I like. lol

I treat them like a piece of meat, they don't like it after a while. But miss it when it's gone.

Nah, it's not bad. You just need to keep it 80% regular conversation/20% sexual.


Otherwise, you're fine.


I don’t think it’s fine. I messed up. He replied, “we have different taste in regards to me 😂”. Me being an idiot not seeing he was joking, took it seriously and revealed a bit of my feelings to perk him up and he said, “take it easy 🤨👉🏻” made it even more awkward because I don’t understand social cues. It’s whatever

Stop being awkward and get some confidence. Your awkwardness is getting you into a trouble. Even if what you say turns out wrong - own it, say something confident next, change the subject, anything but don't back away or apologize

Sure I’m owning it, but doesn’t help I revealed a bit of my feelings(to hype him that he wasn’t unattractive)and he backed off. Just leaving it alone

Nah try not to overthink it. You were being yourself. Be yourself unapologetically and if it’s too much for him, well then, he can find less.


I’ve been guilty of doing this (overthinking my responses) and I’ve learned I have anxious attachment style . It basically means if a guy responds in a questionable way it triggers an anxious response on out of me.. I would suggest looking into it to see if you relate with it at all.


But as far as this goes, just remember you were being yourself and in that moment, you said what you wanted to say and there was nothing wrong with that. Don’t overthink it and don’t complicate it.


You’re on point, I do have an anxious attachment style and I hate it to my core. Just left on read with no communication or feedback really hurts. I would consider him an anxious avoidant and it surprises how we’re still friends, but I’m at that point I’m leaving him alone. My mind is just so tired of figuring him out and need a detox to calm my adoration for him

He is either insecure and doesn’t know what to do with the attention you’re giving him or he’s not as into you as you’re into him, which is fine if it’s just fwb. I wouldn’t get too much more invested.


He mentioned he doesn’t see himself attractive as I see him which I found out later it was a joking response. I said to him, “What do you mean?? We’re all self critics and it’s fine! We’re not suppose to be perfect. I like you for you, and there’s only one like you. You’re amazing person to me” he then said to “take it easy 🤨”and disappeared when I wanted him to elaborate why he felt that way 🤷🏻‍♀️

Men who aren't into sexting either are not that into you or have other things in mind at the given moment. It's easy to tell which one is it by how they avoid it. People have other things going on in their lives, not just sex. One should know and respect that.

Darling! This is a story of a man name Brady…

From 50th. When people watched Brady Bunch and believe that family is truly exist.

If famous rock band star picked you out of the crowd of screaming ready to fuck women and you didn’t have sec - your story is as true as my virginity.

I want to see one vote from men and women who believing this BS unless he was in fact your father and you didn’t know and he did…

And why have you deleted number of famous gorgeous star who was respectful enough to respect your frigidity and ‘just called’ (it’s bullshit above and beyond) WHY have YOU rejected HIM? 🤷‍♀️

You was waiting for the Prince of Monaco?

Famous rocker wasn’t good enough for you?

And to your ‘sex is not all’ statement I will honestly say that it’s not…for those who can’t GET ANY! For those who can and fucking - sex is about the best thing that God let us have.

And when you saying people have other things in their lives - you have no idea what you talking about are you? People have SEX…and then other things in their lives. Unless they can’t obtain SEX - they focus on other things only. Just trust me. And do whatever you doing. I’ll go laugh quietly about platonic love with famous rocker…

You can believe it or not, I can't be bothered to prove what is irrelevant anyway. But I could actually. I have pics with him and I had a friend with me when we kissed, it's not like I was alone there lol This man is a Cancer, they're not the most sexually aggressive men out there and they respect boundaries. He's not the first Cancer men I dealt with. We kissed, a LOT in fact but that was it. I haven't rejected him, I just stopped meeting him. And why? Well because I met someone meaningful and of more appropriate age to my own. He was much older and I never had any interest in being involved with famous people. To me it was just fun and that's it.

There is a time when someone might not quite be interested in sexting - like when they're ill, someone dear to them is sick, they're worried about business failing to just name a few examples. But based on what she's written later my final conclusion is that this guy just isn't that much into her and is stringing her along. But he noticed she's getting attached and is now trying to cool her down and keep you on a distance
click to expand



The thing is, I’ve noticed the distance 2 weeks ago. I gave him that much time and I confronted if everything was okay. He mentioned he wanted to have a little phone/ social media detox. Another thing why I’m frustrated is that I asked about boundaries and he just never wanted any., saying we should have an open door policy meaning we trust each other fully without judgement but apparently I’m left in the dust and hence I’m crying because I messed our relationship when he doesn’t communicate 😞 I thought we can be vulnerable, but I guess not

I’m debating whether to text him and apologize to call it off or let him come to me?

What was the end goal for you in this situation? For him, it seems like it was agreed upon to just be FWB and he doesn’t want to take it any further at all. But your responses here feel like you wanted it to be more?


Unfortunately yeah, I do. I’m trying to tame it, but I guess I’m not fit for it.

I’m debating whether to apologize and cut it off or just adjust to his absence and let him come to me

Tbh I’m not even getting the friend aspect anymore. It seems he doesn’t want to bond with me and I’m just upset why even bother with me?

Unfortunately, this is the outcome of the average FWB situation. This is also why it's a dangerous game to play as one person typically gets left hanging and suffers emotionally when there was no actual investment in the first place.

You were obviously more into him and kept an open mind about things progressing. He did not feel the same, so it appeared as if you were being needy.

This happens to both men & women. Leave him alone and he will reach out if he changes his mind.

Being myself truly hurt the relationship, but yeah, it’s not worth it anymore. What’s so funny is that I wanted to avoid all this and he was the one to push me into it and I stupidly accepted because I thought I can vulnerable when it’s really not the case. He said we have an open door policy 😞 guess guys will say anything just so they can lay with you and he hasn’t with me yet

This seems pretty spot on actually. Why are you attached to this guy? He doesn’t even seem very likable.

Because we bonded. Almost same morale, lots of things in common, we had fun with each other and reassures like a boyfriend. When he proposed the FWB because of distance, I was hesitant because of this scenario, but he was so convincing because he said we can be open with no judgement and here I am being left to suffer because he can’t deal with emotional side of me for getting attached

What’s so messed up is that he knows how I felt about him prior, not like he didn’t knew. I told him no the first time and he still tried to change my mind. I stupidly accepted because he reassured and charmed me that we have an open door policy to be ourselves without judgement. Here I am left hanging because he won’t clean up his mess

I'm really sorry about that and I tried to avoid writing that down altogether. But no, you didn't mess anything up. It was him who wasn't on the same level as you. You can't mess up what never was, keep that in mind. Believe me, someone else would gladly reciprocated and you will find someone more appropriate. Maybe this is your first time trying such things so you're walking on eggshells. But be aware that sexting doesn't require that and you are free to talk how you like when you're really doing that with someone

YES! This is my first time doing FWB so I have no idea what to expect! That’s why I’m here often trying to learn. It’s not your fault being blunt, I needed to hear that

The thing was, he never set boundaries and I wasn’t sure if I should implement any. I want help knowing how how should I move forward since he hasn’t unfollowed or anything. Should I talk to him to discuss boundaries or leave him alone?

Men who aren't into sexting either are not that into you or have other things in mind at the given moment. It's easy to tell which one is it by how they avoid it. People have other things going on in their lives, not just sex. One should know and respect that.

Darling! This is a story of a man name Brady…

From 50th. When people watched Brady Bunch and believe that family is truly exist.

If famous rock band star picked you out of the crowd of screaming ready to fuck women and you didn’t have sec - your story is as true as my virginity.

I want to see one vote from men and women who believing this BS unless he was in fact your father and you didn’t know and he did…

And why have you deleted number of famous gorgeous star who was respectful enough to respect your frigidity and ‘just called’ (it’s bullshit above and beyond) WHY have YOU rejected HIM? 🤷‍♀️

You was waiting for the Prince of Monaco?

Famous rocker wasn’t good enough for you?

And to your ‘sex is not all’ statement I will honestly say that it’s not…for those who can’t GET ANY! For those who can and fucking - sex is about the best thing that God let us have.

And when you saying people have other things in their lives - you have no idea what you talking about are you? People have SEX…and then other things in their lives. Unless they can’t obtain SEX - they focus on other things only. Just trust me. And do whatever you doing. I’ll go laugh quietly about platonic love with famous rocker…

You can believe it or not, I can't be bothered to prove what is irrelevant anyway. But I could actually. I have pics with him and I had a friend with me when we kissed, it's not like I was alone there lol This man is a Cancer, they're not the most sexually aggressive men out there and they respect boundaries. He's not the first Cancer men I dealt with. We kissed, a LOT in fact but that was it. I haven't rejected him, I just stopped meeting him. And why? Well because I met someone meaningful and of more appropriate age to my own. He was much older and I never had any interest in being involved with famous people. To me it was just fun and that's it.

There is a time when someone might not quite be interested in sexting - like when they're ill, someone dear to them is sick, they're worried about business failing to just name a few examples. But based on what she's written later my final conclusion is that this guy just isn't that much into her and is stringing her along. But he noticed she's getting attached and is now trying to cool her down and keep you on a distance

Boundaries and feelings are for relationships.

I think you should date other guys, and keeping him as a fuck buddy, while you date and don't sleep with them. That way you can have a clear mind and zero pressure to give in to the guy if he is trying to move too fast.

If you're already being intimate with your fuck buddy, it's easier to let a guy go if that's all they are after. You can date and take things slower while having sexual consistency with a fwb.

Start thinking of your fwb as your scheduled maintenance and treat them like the hoes they want to be and date others lol

He’s not just a fuck buddy though. If we were just that, sure. We started off as friends and very close. He’s not a piece of meat to me at all. Given that he IS a friend, it is a relationship and I care for him wholeheartedly. Which is why I’m asking, given this is my first time and to understand men, should I give him space by muting his socials or actually approach the situation so we can move forward. It just hurts that he didn’t say anything like how would I know? I want to learn

I thought you were calling it a fwb.

Are you upset about him calling you out and making you feel rejected? He could've been just playing around and was busy and said it quickly. I think you're over thinking the exchange.

Go back to acting regular and just talk normal to him, it's not that big of a deal. See how things are in person.

Lots of people don't get emotions through texting or messaging, he may not even know he hurt your feelings.

If you are starting to have these types of feelings, maybe it is time to have a talk with him and either try to make it a relationship or break things off, since middle ground is confusing for you.

It's very scary to have a talk, but at least you won't keep wondering where you stand with him and what you two are doing.

Tbh I don’t know what we are. We’re friends who talk and share things, but occasionally flirt, sexted and he’s seen me nude(through pics while I have his). The distance happened a week ago after coming back from tour. The thing is, we’re long distance because he moved and we’ve been like this for a year now

Yes, I’m hurt that he called me out because I wasn’t sure if that’s a bad thing plus telling me to take it easy when talking about him not being attractive, I said, “What do you mean?? We’re all self critics and it’s fine! We’re not suppose to be perfect. I like you for you, and there’s only one like you. You’re amazing person to me”. He just never responded when I told him I missed on the social cue 😅 I’m just so mad at myself

I can control myself, it’s just I get anxiety with the hot and cold and sudden vibe changes. Concrete communication is all I want 😮‍💨

Thank you for taking the time to answer me, I really appreciated it

I'm just as confused on your fwb term.

It basically just seems like you have a crush on a musician.

My advice, stop sending nudes. It's a long distance crush and he's a musician, which means he meets plenty of women. Be different and showcase your personality, instead of your body.

You probably wouldn't feel so vulnerable if he hadn't already seen you naked.

If famous rock band star picked you out of the crowd of screaming ready to fuck women and you didn’t have sec - your story is as true as my virginity.

I want to see one vote from men and women who believing this BS unless he was in fact your father and you didn’t know and he did…

And why have you deleted number of famous gorgeous star who was respectful enough to respect your frigidity and ‘just called’ (it’s bullshit above and beyond) WHY have YOU rejected HIM? 🤷‍♀️

You was waiting for the Prince of Monaco?

Famous rocker wasn’t good enough for you?

And to your ‘sex is not all’ statement I will honestly say that it’s not…for those who can’t GET ANY! For those who can and fucking - sex is about the best thing that God let us have.

And when you saying people have other things in their lives - you have no idea what you talking about are you? People have SEX…and then other things in their lives. Unless they can’t obtain SEX - they focus on other things only. Just trust me. And do whatever you doing. I’ll go laugh quietly about platonic love with famous rocker…

You can believe it or not, I can't be bothered to prove what is irrelevant anyway. But I could actually. I have pics with him and I had a friend with me when we kissed, it's not like I was alone there lol This man is a Cancer, they're not the most sexually aggressive men out there and they respect boundaries. He's not the first Cancer men I dealt with. We kissed, a LOT in fact but that was it. I haven't rejected him, I just stopped meeting him. And why? Well because I met someone meaningful and of more appropriate age to my own. He was much older and I never had any interest in being involved with famous people. To me it was just fun and that's it.

There is a time when someone might not quite be interested in sexting - like when they're ill, someone dear to them is sick, they're worried about business failing to just name a few examples. But based on what she's written later my final conclusion is that this guy just isn't that much into her and is stringing her along. But he noticed she's getting attached and is now trying to cool her down and keep you on a distance

I'm really sorry about that and I tried to avoid writing that down altogether. But no, you didn't mess anything up. It was him who wasn't on the same level as you. You can't mess up what never was, keep that in mind. Believe me, someone else would gladly reciprocated and you will find someone more appropriate. Maybe this is your first time trying such things so you're walking on eggshells. But be aware that sexting doesn't require that and you are free to talk how you like when you're really doing that with someone

YES! This is my first time doing FWB so I have no idea what to expect! That’s why I’m here often trying to learn. It’s not your fault being blunt, I needed to hear that

The thing was, he never set boundaries and I wasn’t sure if I should implement any. I want help knowing how how should I move forward since he hasn’t unfollowed or anything. Should I talk to him to discuss boundaries or leave him alone?

Boundaries and feelings are for relationships.

I think you should date other guys, and keeping him as a fuck buddy, while you date and don't sleep with them. That way you can have a clear mind and zero pressure to give in to the guy if he is trying to move too fast.

If you're already being intimate with your fuck buddy, it's easier to let a guy go if that's all they are after. You can date and take things slower while having sexual consistency with a fwb.

Start thinking of your fwb as your scheduled maintenance and treat them like the hoes they want to be and date others lol
click to expand
He’s not just a fuck buddy though. If we were just that, sure. We started off as friends and very close. He’s not a piece of meat to me at all. Given that he IS a friend, it is a relationship and I care for him wholeheartedly. Which is why I’m asking, given this is my first time and to understand men, should I give him space by muting his socials or actually approach the situation so we can move forward. It just hurts that he didn’t say anything like how would I know? I want to learn
click to expand

I thought you were calling it a fwb.

Are you upset about him calling you out and making you feel rejected? He could've been just playing around and was busy and said it quickly. I think you're over thinking the exchange.


Go back to acting regular and just talk normal to him, it's not that big of a deal. See how things are in person.

Lots of people don't get emotions through texting or messaging, he may not even know he hurt your feelings.


If you are starting to have these types of feelings, maybe it is time to have a talk with him and either try to make it a relationship or break things off, since middle ground is confusing for you.


It's very scary to have a talk, but at least you won't keep wondering where you stand with him and what you two are doing.

I couldn’t answer your last reply since I guess there’s a thread limit? So to reply:

I’m confused too 🤷🏻‍♀️ he chased me, got to know me and proposed the idea. While he enjoys me as a person, he also enjoyed that we’re being intimate. We were planning to meet up for summer vacation for 1-2 weeks together. Now I’m not sure now since he’s being distant because he wanted his “phone / social media detox” even though he’s posting sometimes

I didn’t like him because he was a musician, he became my friend. He brought down my wall with effort and consistency(until a week ago) which is why I fell for him and agree to have fun

But yeah I’m no longer sending any nudes and taking a step back from here on out. How should I approach it since we’re long distance? I hype him on social media. Continue interacting as normal or leave him be for a bit? Or as you advised, just talk? 😬

Men who aren't into sexting either are not that into you or have other things in mind at the given moment. It's easy to tell which one is it by how they avoid it. People have other things going on in their lives, not just sex. One should know and respect that.

Ok first to define things - what you're describing is not FWB. You said you haven't had sex with him? So it's not fwb thing yet. When you have sex with someone that you're not in a relationship and are friends with them otherwise - that's fwb. In other words friends who occasionally have sex. Don't mention boundaries, don't discuss anything regarding that matter with him unless you want to push him even further away. Just be casual and mirror his behavior. Be even unavailable sometimes. If he texts leave it s few hours to respond. If he calls don't answer or answer shortly saying you're in a rush and tty later. He's been cooling you down and you need to not push further. Find something else to occupy your thoughts and time. I know it can be hard, been there done that, but what has to be done it just has to be. Sometimes being less available is all it takes to become more desirable, keep that in mind too.

Ahhh! So it’s more of a situationship I guess? Although we’re planning to be hanging and be intimate once we see each other in the summer supposedly, but I’m not sure anymore since he’s acting distant saying he needed a detox from his phone. So he’s cooling me down? So looking or hearting his stuff on his socials is off limits as well? I just don’t want to look butthurt because of the last incidents. It’s a long distance relationship and I’m not sure what else to keep a little fire going. I can do as you advise

Another person mention to showcase my personality and act normal to make up my sexual idiocy 😅 I will take a step back obviously and be just not as available

Imo a fwb is not a good thing, and a good way to end up on true crimes. You should let him go imo. It happens all time. Two people enjoy fucking, and try to ignore the aspect of feelings. Yet the second one of the two meets their potential soul mate, jealousy takes over. So the real question is how do you feel about watching them go into someone else's arms. Not just for a quick fuck, but forever. That is why a fwb is worthless imo. I'm sure some people are fine with it, but others never take a second to actually think about it. If he just wanted a quick fuck then ghosted you, he is a bad man in general, and should never be trusted imo.

How can I let go when we’ve been friends for a year? We haven’t even fucked yet? Maybe I used the wrong terminology. We’ve shared and bonded many things, just as of a week ago, he became distant due to “phone / social media” detox which idk if I can believe it. That’s why I’m debating to check on him again to talk or give him actual space because I’ve never been in this situation before and to best handle it tactfully

He's not as sexual as you, so I would stick to what @TXCowboy said about 80/20.

Basically, he knows you want him with that response, and he called you out for it.

Just stick to non flirty, boring talk and make it sexual in when he is in your presence.

It will save you the hassle of feeling rejected by him.

Act more like a friends since the benefits aren't happening right now.
I just feel so awful now. I got way too comfortable. I wanted to be playful and I suck at social cues over text. He responded saying, “we definitely don’t have the same taste when it comes to me 😂” I took it seriously trying to hype him up when it wasn’t necessary. It’s so awkward atm
click to expand

The embarrassment will fade, just don't bring up sexual stuff and act indifferent and bland and he will be all over you. Guys are annoying like that.


I'm used to hearing that I am overtly sexual with a guy I like. lol

I treat them like a piece of meat, they don't like it after a while. But miss it when it's gone.

🤔 hmm indifferent and bland 👻

Hey, I’m thinking maybe that’s my appeal? 😆 I’m very indifferent and bland and I don’t message back until I have time to respond and then I have a detailed convo and then I’m back to the shadows of the night.

I don’t think I’ve ever lacked the interest of the person I desire but I chalked that up to the fact that I’m an Aries and I’m the one who decides who I want, and they just like want it? Lol

Interesting tactic tho.

@WarEternal

It sounds like the loss of consistency of what you where getting from him in your relationship is what really triggered you here. Is it fair to say, that happened because you were wanting more then currently given?

This is a great learning experience for you and yourself, regardless of what will happen with your relationship with him!

You are long distance and he is doing his own thing. Are you honestly ok with asking for more in this situation and in what form?

I 100% get you want more. The qualities of your relationship sound great.

I also understand anxious attachment style ( I'm guilty of this at times too, working on it). It's like you require some kind of consistency/baseline to be happy in a relationship. Otherwise you panic and get needy and spiral with doubting yourself and doubt about the relationship itself. Am I right?

This is were we mess up with ANY KIND of relationship especially avoidant attachment people. They can't handle the pressure anxious style exsert when in panic mode. Literally triggers them too.

Both style stem from some kind of self worth, trust, and confidence issues. How they act is like Opposite sides of the same coin. Lol chasing and running🤣

Icestorms advice about focusing on you is solid.

I'd like to add you need to accept your feelings whole heatedly. Yes work on your boundaries. TELLING people about your needs...(do's and don'ts in relation to yourself) is exactly what boundaries actually are!

Start there by acknowledging these things with yourself. Which is exactly what you are doing now🙂

Think about the positives of your relationship that you really like and want. Communicate that in a way you know he can understand when you meet up. That's your baseline with him. Your boundaries.

Be open to how he feels about it yourself and respect his as you would want him to respect yours🏆

With a avoidant, you can't demand or imposse on them emotionally. Lmao they run or shut down.

You got to get to a place with yourself were you are ok with giving them space and comfortable being honest with you. Ironically, that again requires working on yourself and being emotional stable yourself and with them.

@Lostthoughts

Yes, absolutely! The loss of consistency is making me anxious.

I feel odd asking if it’s okay to ask for more because we’re not exclusive. Though, as friends there needs to be boundaries for sure to keep the spark and relationship alive

All I want is just solid communication/baseline like you mentioned! Because he sometimes tends to disappear without warning and when he’s hot and cold, it hurts me. I’ve never said anything because I didn’t want to sound needy. Everything lately felt half assed. The enthusiasm, curiosity, the responses and the sexting. It all happened last week near the end of his touring which I totally empathize it’s draining. When I asked what’s wrong, he only mention he wanted a little detox from social media/phone but he’s on constantly? Hence I’m deciding to give space or actually approach this tactfully because he gets overwhelmed easily triggering his flight mode. He left me on read because I got a little romantic when he was self deprecating on his looks, but failed to noticed he was joking 🙃

Do you have an example how I can approach our needs without sounding demanding so he doesn’t run? The thing is, I have feelings for him, but keeping them in check which is why I’m giving myself space from him too 😅 he did tell me that sometimes he doesn’t say anything in fear of pushing me away but he’s pushing me away anyways

Gosh, thank you so much for taking the time to write to me with your empathy. It means a lot and I’m eager to learn from you 😊

What was the end goal for you in this situation? For him, it seems like it was agreed upon to just be FWB and he doesn’t want to take it any further at all. But your responses here feel like you wanted it to be more?
Unfortunately yeah, I do. I’m trying to tame it, but I guess I’m not fit for it.

I’m debating whether to apologize and cut it off or just adjust to his absence and let him come to me

Tbh I’m not even getting the friend aspect anymore. It seems he doesn’t want to bond with me and I’m just upset why even bother with me?
click to expand

DO NOT apologize for anything. That’s part of the anxious attachment problem… there is absolutely nothing to apologize for and you need to stop with the self depreciating way of thinking. That’s only more repulsive to the more secure or avoidant attachment types.. because you’re not respecting yourself. You literally haven’t done anything wrong except like a guy. Cut it out.


Instead of focusing on what went wrong and how you can fix it with him focus that nurturing energy into doing what it takes to build yourself back up again. Whatever it takes to make yourself feel better again and to remind you of your self worth. Instead of making it up to him, make it up to yourself.


click to expand



Thank you so much for the advice 😭 you’re absolutely right that it’s such a turn off wallowing in self pity. I like him a lot and was just afraid of him leaving /messing up 😔 he hasn’t unfollowed me and not sure if he’s just having me cool down since I got a little romantic in my last text 🙃in the meantime, I kept myself busy. Was just deciding how to approach him after time passes or have him come to me

Men who aren't into sexting either are not that into you or have other things in mind at the given moment. It's easy to tell which one is it by how they avoid it. People have other things going on in their lives, not just sex. One should know and respect that.

Darling! This is a story of a man name Brady…

From 50th. When people watched Brady Bunch and believe that family is truly exist.

If famous rock band star picked you out of the crowd of screaming ready to fuck women and you didn’t have sec - your story is as true as my virginity.

I want to see one vote from men and women who believing this BS unless he was in fact your father and you didn’t know and he did…

And why have you deleted number of famous gorgeous star who was respectful enough to respect your frigidity and ‘just called’ (it’s bullshit above and beyond) WHY have YOU rejected HIM? 🤷‍♀️

You was waiting for the Prince of Monaco?

Famous rocker wasn’t good enough for you?

And to your ‘sex is not all’ statement I will honestly say that it’s not…for those who can’t GET ANY! For those who can and fucking - sex is about the best thing that God let us have.

And when you saying people have other things in their lives - you have no idea what you talking about are you? People have SEX…and then other things in their lives. Unless they can’t obtain SEX - they focus on other things only. Just trust me. And do whatever you doing. I’ll go laugh quietly about platonic love with famous rocker…

You can believe it or not, I can't be bothered to prove what is irrelevant anyway. But I could actually. I have pics with him and I had a friend with me when we kissed, it's not like I was alone there lol This man is a Cancer, they're not the most sexually aggressive men out there and they respect boundaries. He's not the first Cancer men I dealt with. We kissed, a LOT in fact but that was it. I haven't rejected him, I just stopped meeting him. And why? Well because I met someone meaningful and of more appropriate age to my own. He was much older and I never had any interest in being involved with famous people. To me it was just fun and that's it.

There is a time when someone might not quite be interested in sexting - like when they're ill, someone dear to them is sick, they're worried about business failing to just name a few examples. But based on what she's written later my final conclusion is that this guy just isn't that much into her and is stringing her along.

Well yes, situationship is a better term for what it is. I've had such thing going on with a guy who was on another continent but it can't be named anything other than that since there was nothing in person that happened. No physical touch. You get what I'm saying I guess. And yes, do change your approach, show your personality more. And also make some distance and be less available. Maybe he doesn't want to be looked at like a piece of meat? I'm just throwing words out there but fact is we don't know him as a person so can't say for certain what's his deal. I'll say that I never met a men who wasn't sexual or interested in sexting but I'm pretty sure that's because they like to chase more than being chased. And I was never too available for them, it always took some efforts for me to participate. Simply understand you did nothing wrong with what you said but you two are not on the same wavelengths atm when it comes to that matter and you have to accept that and change your approach to it.

I’d never treat him like a piece of meat at all! This is how we keep the spark besides playing and talking about random topics. He’s usually the one who takes the lead in flirting and I eventually harnessed because he told me he likes it when I take initiative, pushy and aggressive 😅 I’ll never change him, so I’ll be less available although we had no problem talking nearly everyday. In fact it gets confusing sometimes because he loves it when I say, “thinking about you, missing you etc “ it’s how we’ve endured this long for a year 🤷🏻‍♀️

Check out that audio book, it’s free to listen online.. I haven’t listened to it in its entirety but I’ve listened to it while cleaning or doing laundry. But it’s been very eye opening and liberating for me! Once you realize what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, you can start to recognize it and heal it. Then before you know it, you start to feel indifferent and could care less about whether or not the guy calls back or follows back or whatever. I’m interested in getting the actual hard copy of the book rather than the audio book, but I do like to listen to audio books while doing things around the house. It’s like killing two birds with one stone ☺️ right now I’m reading “A woman’s influence” which is another good book about a woman’s worth. Pour into yourself the same way that you poured into him the day that you told him that you like him for who he is… be so sure of yourself and your worth that you never let a man take that away from you again. ❤️


Maybe the purpose of this situationship was to teach you to take your power back and to learn to love on yourself again.


appreciate the audiobook you shared! I’m already 1 hour in and it’s been inspiring! To look, acknowledge and enlighten different attachment style s.

Again, I’m just hurt because I feel I lost someone close to me and it’ll be awhile to feel a sense of security unless we talk so that way I can move on. Nonetheless, thank you for sharing the knowledge with me ❤️

Hm, I have a question, why haven't you seen each other in a year? How far away are you from each other? Same country or different? Continents maybe? I'm asking because a year of talking without meeting in person seems like a long time if there is mutual interest for physical contact and if it's not too far away. I had long distance thing only 2 times in life. One was Sag, the other was Cap. Sag lived on the border of neighbor country, Cap lived on another continent. Needless to say I met Sag in person but never met Cap. We were 3-4h drive away and we both drew one night same distance to meet in his home town. And we were talking for maybe a month or so at a time. I would have met with Cap halfway too, if there was equal feedback from his side, like it was from Sag's. So I don't see the point in such long time for just texting, without meeting.

What’s up with you and Sag now, still in contact?

It’s due to scheduling. I’m working and he’s touring so it barely aligns. I live in N.America and he now lives in Spain. Recently, we thought about meeting up to the tour in March, but we haven’t thought about it til LAST minute. So I’m pretty frustrated because he could’ve asked his tour manager to figure out logistics. While I was sad…he reassured me it’ll be better in the summer. Anyways, usually people give up around a few months, right? Well, we didn’t. Because we’ve bonded (not just physical contact) and sometimes I’ll ask for a video chat here and there. Also helps his boss is in contact with my bestfriend who models and needs someone to show off their merch. I had the balls to message him today and talked a little a bit on how his day is going, nothing about the previous issue, just I wanted to start fresh and be casual without sexualizing anything. I wanted to give him one chance before I think about whether this will work or not and revert to just being friends. I also just asked for an update as to which show we should meet up at since I never heard back yet and it’s in 2 months(every day plane fares increases).

Noooo thank God! Lol that was very long time ago and he was horrible after we met in person. Had to block him everywhere in order to get rid of him.

Ok that makes sense in your situation, distance is really significant so it's ok that circumstances are as they are. I asked that question cause if you were in like different towns only it would make no sense to not see each other

Sorry, I didn’t have access til now

That’s unfortunate he became that way, but you definitely dodged a bullet for sure and glad you’re safe!

Yeahhh!! We would be seeing each other quite often if he was in the States for sure no doubt! Crazy how that is huh? And I have a friend who’s in a situationship that her dude can’t even see since they’re one hour apart 😅😅😅
