He wants friends with benefits, but not a relationship. You might be thinking, “What does that even mean?”
Well, “friends with benefits” (FWB) usually means that two people are friends and enjoy spending time together, but they also have sex. The kicker is that they don’t want the commitment that comes with a traditional romantic relationship.
That sounds simple enough, but things can get complicated quickly. It’s easy to misinterpret what the other person wants or feels, and one or both people may develop stronger feelings than they bargained for. There’s also the risk of hurt feelings if one person wants to move toward a relationship and the other one doesn’t.
So how can you tell if a man really just wants an FWB situation, or if there’s a chance he might want more down the road? How do you know if you’re on the same page? Are you willing to risk developing feelings that won’t be reciprocated?
This article will help you understand the signs that he wants friends with benefits but not a relationship, and why it’s so important to set boundaries.
