Guys crave human touch and companionship just as much as women. Some guys tough it out, drink beers with their friends, watch the football game and get over it. Others reach out, determined to be the first guy with a functional Friends With Benefits relationship.
Most of us have either found ourselves in this situation or have had good friends in this boat. A great guy- funny, smart, and entertaining- starts showing interest in you, and you in him. Either he is upfront about his non-committal status or shys away from any notion of a relationship. Read: BUYER BEWARE! Guys are pretty aware of whether or not they are looking for a girlfriend or serious relationship. If you jump into this FWB relationship, be aware that this is most likely not going anywhere. Now, there are outliers to every situation, but ladies- guard yourself! If you know you'll itch for something more.....keep walking! Don't sign up for feelings of insufficiency or sadness.
Most people can't interact on that special level and separate that from romantic feelings (by the way, this is normal). The most important thing with FWB is knowing yourself. If a guy says he's not interested in a future, he's not interested. Knowing this, if FWB is still something you're into-- just make sure you pick the right guy!
