FWB

let's hear your stories and state your signs!

Did you end up in a relationship?

I've was reading some stories on gear last night and saw a few people said their current bf / gf was their fwb.

ugh sorry for the typos I hate iphone corrections blah!

My ex leo. Was supposed to be just sex but we got carried away. 3 years later. Definitely should have taken the time yo know each other.

nope... we ended up as worst enemies.

1 was a Scorpio, long term FWB (less friends, more benefits). Never wanted more, I knew we aren't matched for that.

My current Cancer guy started out as FWB, but more friend than benefits at that time. Distance kept us from making anything more (and also him being Cancer lol), but once that wasn't an issue... After abt 2 years, we were all in. I think this is a rare case though... We were interested in more from the beginning, and it also wasn't focused on the benefits.

I think more often than not, an FWB doesn't turn out to be more. Which is how it should be. Because if you're settling for an FWB even though you want more but the other person doesn't, or vice versa, and it's not a mutual decision, it's pretty much doomed from the get. (My 2 cents)

I agree. The guy I'm FWB actually wanted to date me but after I ended things with my bf of 3 years before we started I wasn't looking for anything. A few months later we got back into FWB but this time we both wanted more but I was too scared to say it so the timing been off. He actually chased me for 6 months trying to date me. We are just friends now no benefits because I relocated to another state but hey who knows we might end up together if it's up to faith for us to. We were bout to become a couple many times but like I said timing was always off. But anything is POSSIBLE 🙂

on/off through the years.

No, neither of us wants a relationship. Sexually attracted but we're not each others' type.

It works beautifully but I haven't been in the mood for fwb this year.

I'm a Virgo.

I'm confused. Is FWB officially a good thing to do?

On another note my scorp and I love each other but what has been going on between us (through the years) is similar to FWB. Cause we can't even compromise to plan vacation together.

Not in my opinion.

FWB will only work if both parties realize it is only a short term arrangement that has an expiration date.

It's only intention is to fill a physical need. Once those needs are met or one party meets someone whom they would take seriously, the arrangement runs its course.

I really think it's rare for it to become more because the only way a FWB arrangement works is if both parties are detached and view it as sex only.

It can be disasterous because one of the parties ends up wanting more while the other is detached emotionally and the person who wants more always gets hurt in the end.
