I ended it with my FWB not long ago as I had the wrong expecting of how a FWB / casual date should behave. I expected him to have traits that only a boyfriend should have. I do have feelings for him but I also know that we will be incompatible in many ways in a relationship.
I ended it with him telling him the things I didn't like about him and said I didn't think it would go anywhere. I since revisited my expectation and realised i was wrong. I personally wouldn't even do those things for him. And with my current work and financial situation, it would be impossible for me to have a relationship anyway.
I like hanging out with him and do want to see him again. I'm not sure if he would as he hasn't contacted me since. What should my strategy be? It hasn't even been a month yet. Should I wait for a bit?
Why wait?
Be upfront and let him know you've thought it over and realized you were wrong.
Of course, a lot of this depends on what you told him you didn't like about him.
If it was stuff about how he handled the relationship, that's one thing.
If any of it was personal you might kiss the idea goodbye.
There's nothing wrong with being love buddies when it's obvious that there is no long-term relationship potential between the two as long as it is clear on both sides what the expectations are. Sometimes the chemistry just isn't there outside of the physical.
So the key is communicating this early and often so people don't get misunderstood. Wish the other the best if they find someone and move on.
In this situation i would have blocked your # and moved on. Sorry. I think fwb is much easier fot guys to not develop a need for committment st some point. Most if my fwb bring this up st some point and i gotta pull away. You did it for this guy. If he isnt replying to your text, time to move on.

Seriously....You've likely already been replaced. Move on.
It was nothing personal. I was just honest about the way we were and I kinda thought he should have done more even for a FWB. We never had a proper conversation about whether this is a FWB thing tho. I just assume it is.
I will speak to him soon then. Yeah he might have moved on already but worth a try
You could try it but my advice: Try to speak up and communicate more about what you want and expect. That way you can avoid coming off as wishy washy and indecisive in the future.
Never assume anything. It just causes complications.
