I've never had this happen, but of course it does happen to others.
To me though, while a man can learn to love what his FWB provides he rarely falls IN love with her. No matter how cool she is(and she could be a good friend not just a random Bootycall) In the back of your mind there's always going to be the fact that shes giving him free no strings attached sex, and that's not a good trait for a potential GF or wife. I'd never advise a woman to thinking being his Bootycall will eventual promote you to GF status
I would have thought it was one of the prerequisites of being a good girlfriend or wife????
Do you actually want a wife/gf who attaches conditions to sharing her vagina like its a piece of precious porcelain?
I knew a couple that were aquantinces in college.
Then, years later they met up somehow.
They were basically FWB for quite a while, perhaps over 6 months. Then, they decided to be exclusive, and shortly after that, the bf moved in with the gf. About 3-4 months of living together, and they started talking wedding, and engagement ring.
Although not the most romantic approach, I wonder if them being aquantinces first, then friends, then FWB actually helped them get to know each other and enjoy each other. Imagine a pressure free relationship, where all you do is have fun and enjoy each others company. No arugeing about holiday plans, or why didn't you call me last night, or why did you get so hammered and flirt with that hottie all night?
And considering they were FWB for 6 months, they obviously matched well physically. And since they started off as FWB, there was probably less inhibitions then with a relationship in which both people are trying to impress each other.
You always hear about how one night stands, and FWB's are so much fun, becuase people lose their inhibtions in those situations. But then when most people meet a potential S/O, people are all of a sudden extremely concerned about how the other person will react to each others level of sexuallity.
Once they realized they enjoyed each others company enough to become exclusive, they were already friends. THen, add the physical chemistry, and sprinkle some emotions most likely due to the amount of time invested, and you have a recipe for a happy couple with wedding bells in the near future.
Interesting concept I think. As I have never had an official FWB situation, so I have no experience in the matter.
I've seen it happen, but not to me. Usually, I've seen more serious relationships turn into FWB, and that was a good thing, as they were a train wreck in progress the way things were going, and were far better together as FWB!
I've never had a FWB turn into a serious LTR either. In my experiences, its start out fun but usually jealously takes over (from both parties) especially if you hang out in the same places.
I've never had a FWB but I think this is true, especially considering that FWB (advertently or inadvertently) guarantees non-exclusivity.
I know a couple where that was the case. When they first hooked up both had serious things going on in their lives and didn't want to add a relationship to the mix. But both liked sex too much to go without, and they were attracted to each other, so they did the FWB thing.
They're married now. They've been together maybe 20 years.
I also know a married couple that grew from what was supposed to be a one night stand. LOL
Ha ha! I missed that part. Good point MsAnn. At my age, I don't want any strings. Strings can turn into ropes.....
I think "nooses" is the word you're looking for. Maybe "leashes". I've had some friends get caught up in weird shizz because they thought things were NSA, when in reality there were "S" "A'ed" all over the place and they walked right into it. "Spiderwebs" would also be a good replacement for "ropes".
No, I haven't. Had a friendship in college turn FWB and it almost ruined the friendship. We got past it though and are still friends to this day, 16 years later.
With my late husband, we went out on NYE, our second date was 8 hours after the first ended and we were pretty much inseparable after that. Now that some time has passed, if I'm blessed to have love in my life a second time, I'd like the experience of having a friendship that turns into more. Time will tell what's meant for my life, however.
