FWB

I've been thinking about this topic a lot recently, and apparently, I'm not the only one since Hollywood has produced two movies focusing on the subject in the past year. The impetus for putting pen to paper, or rather hand to keyboard as the case may be, for this blog is about being hot ice cream on the topic.

I would be remiss if I did not admit to having had non-committed relationships in the past, but for most intents and purposes, my intimate encounters have been solitary experiences or situations where I hoped a relationship would develop. What about the situation where neither is the case? When he/she is already a friend and you take it to another level? Can you really be just FWB? There's a laundry list of reasons why people say no - the friendship could be negatively affected, common friends may not approve, intimacy without a relationship is ethically wrong, etc. Beyond the physical, is there anything positive about a FWB scenario? Can you really walk away at the end and still be friends? I have a lot of questions, but no good answers.

Well, I know myself well enough to know that being FWB would be very difficult, because I have these stupid things that always start to develop...feelings. Argh, I hate feelings! But sometimes I think I'd like to try it, at least once...

Speaking of feelings, the man who keeps me up at night finally sent me a message today, and it was like putting a movie on speed rewind...I was right back there.
