I had one 25yrs ago. We worked together for years, went to concerts a few times, she then rented an apartment and invited me over - we ended up having sex and afterwards agreed to keep it as FWB.
Diddnt work. Feeelings came an along, situations were never the same, going out as mates became weird. Kinda ruined our friendship.
Morale of this story - don’t do it with a genuine friend!

have you actually witnessed FWBs in real life or just going by the BS you read online? from my personal experience, as a guy you have to offer something like financial stability ie paying for dinner, in a position of authority ie manager or emotional support ie she's in a bad marriage..
for me the sex wasn't worth all that but in your case you're not finding it on dating apps, you have to befriend women single or married in real life, know them for a while and wait for their move..

I guess we all
Have differing opinions on this. I’ve had several fwb relationships along the way and none of those conditions applied to me. I found you just have to be a bit cheeky, a bit flirty, be a genuine guy when it matters, and be honest. Many gals are up for that and prefer that to a relationship.
Yes, the 2 most memorable FWB episodes I had was with 2 lovely girls a while back. They were new in my life, fun was had, intimacy was surreal.
And feelings developed, more other end than mine. And that caused them to end things not on my terms. It hurt a lot.
Do I regret it? Hell no… One of them I even crown as the one that got away.
Miss her so much even after all these years …

How old are you? Are you old enough to remember dating before the internet (like me)?
I was in my late teens/early 20s at the turn of the millennium. Back then we had to talk to people to find out what their interests were and there were no apps at all.
I think it developed a skill that many younger people lack and it’s one you’ll need if you want to find a FWB - you need to develop the “F” part first.

I'm definitely from the internet era, which nowadays is definitely harder to go around and talk to people, definitely doesn't help that I'm Asian and I feel like most people aren't really into one around here
. Which is why I've resorted to dating apps. Like I said I get ghosted so often I wonder sometimes why the even bother to match and not reply. Where do you guys even meet them tbh

Join a common interest group, cycling, swimming, basketball etc. or just go to a night club - that’s what we used to do pre-internet.I'm definitely from the internet era, which nowadays is definitely harder to go around and talk to people, definitely doesn't help that I'm Asian and I feel like most people aren't really into one around here
