    You need to face your fear and talk to him. Nobody here has the answer you are looking for. I know it's scary but it's always better to know where you stand then you can decide if you can handle the situation. If you can't then maybe call it a day.

    Off topic and I'm not trying to insult you but your spelling is atrocious for a 30 year old woman!!

    **** buddys = just sex
    **** buddys can only work well if neither are in love with the other one, or someone will just end up hurt.

    If you have more feelings then just friends with this guy, then stop **** him and start to date him (= sorry, but you have to ask him). If he does not feel the same, then yeah it will hurt, but leave him and get over him and find someone that loves you instead.

    Well worth it in the end. GL :)

    Well it seems that although you enjoy this guys company from time to time, you're not entirely happy with the relationship you both have at the moment.

    So as suggested already, you need to talk to him if you feel you want more. Then you will know where you stand, he may want things to progress too.

    You don't need to declare all your feelings for him, maybe just approach the subject gently when you feel the time is right by suggesting dinner/cinema/a few drinks out - his reaction will instantly answer your questions...if he wants a more serious relationship, he will gladly move outside the bedroom! If he doesn't seem too keen well then you can either call it a day or stay as you are!

    Daily contact = more than FB in my book.

    i am realy sorrey. i am partialy sighted so i can spell ok verbaly but typeing corectly without a spell checkar takes so long. Thanks to all for the advcie though i will read them proparly now.

    To be honest, you're breaking the first rule of being **** buddies (incidentally, the second rule is that you are just friends and it is just sex, but the first rule is still more important!). And that's honesty. You need to tell him how you feel. Otherwise you'll just grow more and more obsessed with it, bringing it down to either a happy ending or a disastrous ending.

    Don't come straight out with it and scare the **** out of him. The next time you are with him, probe him for his feelings (in guy-subtle ie NOT girl-subtle:D). Mention that you are not interested in other people and ask him if he feels the same way. Or ask him what would he think if the two of you were to start doing more things besides sex (but, "not to worry, we'll still be having the incredible sex!")

    Question, what is your friendship like besides the sex? Have you been buddies for long before the sex? Do you have a normal friendship besides sex?

    I suppose one thing you have to ask yourself is why do you like him romantically? Is it genuine romance, or is it that you just have grown attached to him due to the sex?

    Never had a romantic relationship grow from **** buddy status (but am still very good friends with all concerned!). I have had friends who have moved onto the next level after being ****-buddies, so it is possible.

    Enjoy it for what it is, no strings smashing. Forming a relationship will only complicate things. If he wants to make the move to a relationship then I'm sure he'll intimate so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,442 ✭✭✭Firetrap


    OP, how about asking your F-Buddy out on a date. Something like going bowling or to a film if your eyes are up to it. That kind of thing. Don't dress it up as a date as such, more of a fun thing to do together.

    If you think he only wants you for the sex, you need to stop seeing him. These things have to end sometime and it's better that you do the dumping than to be dumped.

    JohnGalt read the charter of this forum and just as a thought, maybe, just maybe read the entire thread before typing your insight and hitting post. First and only warning as you're new around here.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Male/female stereotypes again ? Why should he have to either (a) stick his neck out (since he doesn't know how she feels, he would be) or (b) be the one calling the shots ?

    It's the 21st century, folks. And OP, if you're not happy then either (a) suggest a change or (b) move on or (c) both, if the answer to "a" isn't the one you want....

    It can be great having a f/b (actually wouldn't mind one here tonight) or even a b/f / g/f, but if it keeps you guessing or makes you feel sad or unwanted then it's doing more harm than good....

    Some fsckbuddy arrangements develop into relationships. Most don't.

    You need to speak with him on this and see if he wants to form some form of relationship, even a tentative one. Don't phrase it as an ultimatum, whatever you do.

    If not you need to ask yourself if you're happy with how things are and if not make a clean break - but having the courtesy to let him know why first.

    Don't procrastinate.

    I'm really sorry, I should have kept my trap shut!!
    I really hope things work out the way you want them too.
    Take care.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,398 ✭✭✭MIN2511


    Op, this whole **** buddy thing is bloody hard!!!

    I reckon we all have been there at some stages in our life’s, some successful and others not

    Ask him. Only thing you should know is that if he says there's nothing more than what it is now, CAN YOU ACCEPT THAT?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Tell him and tell him soon. He won't know if you want more unless you tell him. If he doesn't want the same then you need to end the FB situation because your not satisfied with it. It'll hurt but it'll hurt more if you drag it out.

    I had an FB situation where I was happy out but she wanted more. I didn't realise this til it was too late and I ended doing the thing I wanted to avoid the most and thats hurting her.

    The big thing with FB's is you have to be honest and always lay your cards on the table, otherwise your negating the spirit in which the arrangement was entered.

    I have given up FB's. They can be as much hassle as a relationship.

    Good point there
    That’s the thing about FB is you start with no emotion, casual sex doesn't hurt. Then after 3-4 months of constant sex one person gets emotional and wants more....
    Most people can't have sex without emotions, it's fine with one night stands but when you constantly shag a person for over 3-4 months you would be inhuman if you didn't feel more.
    It's always disappointing to know that you aren’t worth more than sex but it's reality.
    I believe nearly everyone here have been on both ends of the stick, it can be unpleasant.
    Ask him, but be prepared if his answer is no to a relationship. Would you end the FB relationship because of this

    If after a few months it would be inhuman not to develop feelings, does that mean you think both people usually do? Just curious..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    OP you're gonna end up hurt.
    I suggest you ask him out for cinema, dinner etcetera and see how that pans out.
    If he refuses then you should cut contact "in my opinion" before you're in too deep. Get a bf that will like you for you and not just as a **** buddy (easier said than done I know)

    We are humans... no two of us are alike, for some they may not develop feelings...

    I have in certain situations and i haven't in others...
