Whenever I've been in a FWB situation, we've agreed up front that it had limits and would not become more. There was never a case where one of us developed additional feelings, so there were never any complications. However, if they had developed and were not mutual, it would have been time to end it before more problems developed. I would never string someone along - it's not only wrong but unfair.

I asked, because I've heard of guys falling in love with their f--- buddies, and then getting hurt when she ends it. In fact, Frihed posted here once that it's a fairly common problem in Denmark, where he lives.

I'm sure it happens. We men do have feelings, too. But typically, majority of men enter those fwb situations with their rules set in stone; I know I do.

I'm a woman. And all but one FWB's have gotten "more then friends" feelings for me (or flat out fell in love with me). I'm awesome, I know.

My #1 rule is if one party starts to have feelings, FWB is over. We can discuss if we want to stop being FWB's and become BF/GF, but I don't want that so I end it completely. With some, we remained just friends for a bit, others, I had to completely walk away from them.

The ones that have told me how they feel, well, they're usually sad and hurt that I don't want anything more. I always like my FWB's as people in general (I have to), but when I go into a FWB, I have my lines drawn. I feel bad that they eventually end up liking me and want more, but well, what can you do? I'm rarely interested in them in that way.

You know the feeling isn't mutual and you don't see her as long term relationship material and if married, you know you aren't leaving your wife for her, do you break things off? continue to sleep with her leading her on?

How do you handle?

Guys, have you ever fallen in love with a woman that started out as just 'sleeping together' relationship?
I am extremely skeptical that I would ever put myself in such a situation. Therefore, this scenario does not and probably will never apply to me.

Way back in the day, I would call them out on anything that sounded or acted like something like a "Feeling". I would simply say, "Don't get attached, we are having fun, but I'll end it in a minute." Sometimes they just needed a gentle reminder. If they continued, I would dump them. Easy peasy

My friend does something like this too. He's more into polyamory, so the women know they're not the only ones and that he won't ever commit to any of them. So when they get attached, he basically reminds them that they're not the only ones, he'll back off a bit, talk about the others a bit more, etc. Until they remember who they're with. He said it seems to work.
