My friend has been dating a guy for a few months but they are not officially in a relationship. She is all excited about taking a trip with him in a few weeks. I'm skeptical about its significance but don't want to be Debbie Downer
Do guys universally know that women believe that trips together signify more than just FWB?
Or would guys go on a weekend trip with a girl just because it's something to do?
They have been intimate already but have also just gone on dates without sex. Thoughts?
You're kind of mixing up terms here.... to me FWB isn't "dating" it's just doing the bad thing on the good foot.
Dating may include sex, but not only just sex.
That being said, not sure what are talking about here......
If they've done stuff other than straight up sex, then it's dating, why the confusion here?
It just sounds like that are very very casual.
I personally wouldn't go on a trip with a woman that I was that casual with, I would think he might like her more than you think.
Last FWB deal I was in, it lasted about 7 weeks. We would always meet at a hotel on Fri night, spend the night together, then I would go home Saturday by noon before we had to check out.'
It was strictly sex and I made it very clear to her that I was not interested in any type of dating. Sometimes she would want to do dinner, I would say NO. So, we only went out once to a bar but it was New Years Eve, so it did not feel like a date.'
Going on a weekend trip as long as you know that you are getting as much sex as you can would be OK. Do not allow her to start acting like a girlfriend though. FWB should be only about sex!

Well, I did not want her over at my place. I like hotels a lot for sexual escapades, you almost feel like you are on vacation. This was a very nice hotel that had a cool pool and the breakfast was always good.
Agreed here. People get things mixed up. A FWB is someone whom you care about as a friend. Like any friend, you respect them, love being with them, can be there for one another emotionally, but again, you're both not dating nor have the interest in boyfriend / girlfriend thing, least not with one another. That's some people misread it so much. One person is acting like an actual friend, but because they aren't saying "get lost" after sex, then "they must love me and want more." No. They see you as a friend, whom they sleep with now and again. But the sex is not the bulk or main focus on the relationship. it's an extra, hence the name "benefit", which isn't the entire check.
A F. Buddy is where neither party care about one another, and only meet to shag and leave. There may be some non-sexual contact, but it'll be very shallow. No deep emotional attachment or care there. Almost like an acquaintance. Because just hanging with someone now and again, or talking doesn't make a "friend." If you're not "friends', it's not FWB.

Until then, it's a no strings casual/FWB/ with no expectations other than hanging out and casual sex.
