I am dwelling on the whole FWB issue… I wish I didn’t dwell on things. It’s not the guy I’m dwelling on, which is weird to me lol. It’s weird to me because he was a very good looking guy, fun to hang out with, because we joked around a lot, and that’s a big thing for me. Albeit we didn’t have any ground-breaking talks. I have no idea if he has any siblings, I do know his parents are alive. The last encounter he found out I have 2 older brothers. But that was the extent of it. I know about his 2 friends, I’m assuming those are the closest ones, meaning he probably has more friends lol But I know of the two he seems to be closer with. But I’m not dwelling on him. I’m dwelling on the actual name “friends with benefits.” I don’t really see the benefit for me. Friends are great. I like making new friends (I don’t do this often, lol I’m pretty quiet and shy… so me meeting new people and befriending them, rarely happens.) Sex is supposed to be the benefit. But I have found out, I can’t differentiate feelings with sex. In order for me to have sex, there’s got to be an attraction. Not just physical, but mental, emotional. So again… what is the benefit for me??
The guys get unattached sex, which is awesome for them. I realize they’re not interested in me for more than sex. But implying we are friends, means there is a connection there. Of friendship, hanging out, laughing, joking, having fun. To me it’s so weird. To like a person as a friend, want to have sex with them, but end up as nothing? How does that work?
I came across an article, Booty call or friends with benefits? How men, women differ on casual sex.
Men tended to mix up f*** buddies with friends with benefits.
lol So now I’m wondering… Were we fuck buddies? We started out as dating, then moved to friends, maybe fwb, then fuck buddies. Because according to this article, which to me makes sense, a booty call is someone you call in the middle of the night or whenever your plans fell through, and/or you couldn’t pick up anyone, but horny as fuck lol to be completely blunt. We were not booty calls.
New Canadian research suggests … that women pay attention to the nuances of their bedroom relationship out of necessity – their reputation, the risk of pregnancy, and even physical safety are on the line.
I can’t help but dwell on this, because to me the whole “dating world” seems to want easy sex, and I just can’t give it up that easily. So I just can’t help but ponder the ways of that world. Every now and then. I broke it off with, let’s call him Bob, because I felt there wasn’t that mutual respect. That he just saw a place to put it, and I thought that we just enjoyed sex with each other, but he didn’t want a relationship, you can’t win them all. But with me not feeling or knowing there was no respect for me, I became worried that he could possibly do something to me with no regards to me. That was in the back of my mind, and the thought became bigger and bigger until it could no longer be ignored. After reading this article, I’m now thinking.. hmm.. I wonder if he told anyone?? Nah, I doubt I left a big impact on his life. Sadly, he left a pretty big impact on me.
