FWD to RELATIONSHIP

How high are my chances to change this fwb to a relationship? Or HOW TO: change his view on this? I caught the feels ik, wasn't my intentions at first but it happened. Were already exclusive (not sleeping with anyone else)...

It's not unheard of, except in specific cases where right at the beginning someone said "I'm not looking for a relationship".

We've both said we do want relationships and I've told him how I feel and since he's been distant with talking to me but we still have sex. We agreed to this because he wanted to get over his ex and I hadn't had sex in two years. It was a win win. I've decided to move on but before I fully let go wanted to know how much hope I Had...

If you guys are already exclusive, what is stopping him from committing? To me, this red flag says... he's not as monogamous as you think.

He has mentioned he wants to focus on work more...but that wasn't the reason for not being in a relationship. That was his excuse as to why he doesn't text to me much anymore

Then tell him you're going to start moving on. Start seeing other people. He will either step up or step out.

You have no hope. He just uses you to get off in and moves along with his day.

The fact that he's become distant tells you all you need to know.

This question is fucking stupid, tbh. One of many little girls out there who think they can manipulate a fwb into more. Not gonna happen. Once they sex zone you, that's where you stay. Life isn't a Hollywood movie.

This tells you everything you need to know. How do you think a healthy relationship could form aside from this?
