I've been good friends with this guys for a number of years, however we have only been that, friends.
A couple months of ago, things changed and he asked me out, however not being in a good stable place myself, I declined.
Now,
He's recently been giving more and more signs that he wants more out of our relationship, to which I would now be willing, however, I want to suggest an open relationship or at least a more casual one, not sure that's the right word...
He's very traditional so not sure how things will go, just wanted to see a couple of views on the matter and whether there may be some advice to be offered?
Please and thank you for keeping replies polite and look forward to reading them
I don't think he's going to go for it. You seem pretty indifferent toward him and he seems to be into you. I'm not sure he'd want to share, just a guess.
If he's a more traditional guy than what would make you think that he would go for a casual relationship? I think the two of you are better off friends then!
It isn't for everyone.... my experience is that either people are "wired" to accept it as part of their lives or not. Even then, it can make a "relationship" (ie friendship) a bit more complicated.
Being a more traditional guy, I'm more inclined to say no.
I'm in agreement with being straight forward and honest about what exactly you want from the relationship.
Im betting he will go along with it. Most men (even so-called Traditional men)will not decline a no-string attachment sexual relationship. Most men may not like it, but I doubt its a deal breaker; they'll ride the relationship till the wheels fall off
Never, ever, ever, ever open a relationship with a view to "fix" it.
