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?
So from what I understand, she wants to be upgraded from FWB to girlfriend? You said she is getting all excited so she must really like this guy. and they are going away alone the two of them you say?
Why can't she just tell him she has feelings for him. She blatantly does.
So to answer you question, a guy can be FWB and go on holidays with a girl for many years and not think of her as a potential girlfriend. Yes they are able to detach that feeling from them. When you are not in FWB, why complicate things and try to make it more than it is. She better not have any expectations or she will be very disappointed.
For the few FWB of mine, it was always walking a fine line between lovers and friends. Pretty much it all ended that way on its own accord... two friends.. just having fun. Both sides pretty much accepted and knew that it is all it will ever be.... we valued friendship enough to not cross those boundaries.
If one of them wanted to go on a trip with just the two of us, I'd be worried that she might begin to want more than just a friendship. Heck, I'd actually feel pressured into thinking it might be steps towards a relationship. I'd probably back out saying that I value their friendship too much. Maybe then invite another friend or two to come along on the trip. It would have never happened in my circle of close friends... we always hung out as a group and most of it was with my GF (open relationship).
But whatever.. to each their own. Its your friend's decision... stay out of it. It is their business. If the friendship goes south afterwards, they have no one else to blame but themselves. Its not uncommon for friendships to end in this manner. I've been on both sides and it hurts either way.

Stay out of it even if it is a wreck waiting to happen. Next time she'll learn
