So here's the thing. I had been thinking about withholding sex till i get a commitment, which is VERY new for me. But at the end of the day, i dont really want a commitment. Even typing that word gives me shortness of breath. I dont want to go out on dates or meet anyone's mama.
What i do want is awesome sex and a buddy to do fun things with. "Hey DMV, i saw this water sports thing and hey, you wanna roll? Sure homey. Then lets have sex afterwards in the parking lot and then go get froyo." I want almost all the benefits of a relationship without really being in one. The thought of being tied to someone is not a turn on.
The "friendship" with the sag was damn near perfect. I had a similar friendship with a tauri guy. Sex was good and we did alot of fun stuff. But both started playing games and i gave them their walking papers.
The problem Im finding is that men play games and if there was any girl who you didnt have to play a game with, its DMV. You can be honest with that you want and i wont look at you and differently. Its when you dont reveal your intentions and start playing games, shit becomes an issue.
Anyways, I dont want to give up sex but i also cant take these disrespectful men anymore and these silly games they try to play.
Am i just dreaming? does a relationship like this exist?

Can you not just start bringing that into your everyday thoughts?
"I'd like a relationship where my partner understands the thought of being tied to someone is not a turn on"
Seems like a fair deal to me.

ahh i feel the same way sometimes.
I don't know what's wrong with men. When you just hang out with them like that
a)they start getting jealous and try making you jealous
b)when you don't give them what they want (some kind of commitment or control), they start assuming that you are somehow inferior- because you are so free and hanging out with them without expecting anything, so they don't really respect you

Ya know, I can respond and behave as a committed woman does but once the word, "Girlfriend" comes into play I clam up. I have told my partner that I am in a relationship with him even though I keep breaking off our title.
Something flips in my brain when it becomes "official"
Last time he tried to say we were "boyfriend and girlfriend" I told him I felt like he shoved a dry towel down my throat and I freaked.

Those kinds of "relationships" do exist, but I don't know about FWB relationships. If a guy knows it's not serious, unfortunately, he's gonna treat it that way. He probably will know what he want, but what happens if he really starts to like you? It sounds like you won't ever really want anything serious (b/c it does require meeting the fam and going out on dates lol, at least where I come from it does) A man who knows you won't ever get serious won't stick his neck out there. As much as people wanna try and make us out to be 2 completely different creatures, men and women are ultimately the same. If he falls in love, he wants his girl to be committed to him, and all the other boring stuff that comes along with it lol. If not, he's gonna play, like you're playing because DMV, hun, that's what you're doing. Not trying to come at you wrong or anything b/c you're cool as hell, but you can't want commitment, without the most important part, committing. Any man, who's a real man, is gonna wanna KNOW that if he falls for you, you will be willing to give him all of you and do the same. Maybe for a Sag Woman that's common to want, but I don't think a real man, who's not gonna play games, is going to succomb to those terms. You're pretty much gonna get what you ask for.

I think these types of relationships exist only if you find the person who wants the same thing. you can be commited to only each other sexually with out all the other things that come along with it like meeting his mama. Cant you just be up front and honest and tell him exactly what it is you want and if he doesnt want the same then the choice is his to make? I think as long as you are honest about what you want and make it clear that this is all you have to offer right now and possible forever then there is no harm in that. besides if he is the one for you. you never know what will happen in the future.

"You can be honest with that you want and i wont look at you and differently. Its when you dont reveal your intentions and start playing games, shit becomes an issue."
Thank you. Amen. Hallelujah.
My libra moon just wants everything fair. Are you dating around? Ok cool, I want to keep my options open too.
But every time I start treating people the way they treatment I get nasty nasty backlash. I don't even sleep with multiple ppl at a time. I just want the right to go out and flirt and have a good time if we've both agreed this isn't a committed relationship. I even get called weird bc I'm able to keep my feelings in check. I do have feelings! Don't ever mistake that I don't...but I need so much more than basic shit and crumbs to fall in love. I need the whole shebang...and until I get that I'm content not being in a relationship.
Posted by shorty1978
being up front and honest was very hard for me at first to i would lead people on because i expected them to just know how i was feeling... now at all times I am clear on my opinion on things and what i expect in return.... tbh.. i learned this from my leo it is a quality i will always take with me it works in relationship of all types... if that is what you want from this man DMV be forward and tell him and he will only respect you for it.. trust me on that. no games its all out in the open and its two adults making an informed decision on the relationship and its future.

This has always been my problem with saggitarius's. they don't know how to communicate their feelings and for some reason thats my fault.

true. i dont communicate my feelings at all very well verbally. much more into being more into action.
I used to be like this and sometimes I'am, but i also know closed mouths dont get fed...click to expand

What about putting less emphasis on labels?
You say being asked out on a date freaks you out. But a date very well may be froyo followed by sex in the parking lot. Dates could be your thing, if they were fun for you. They don't have to denote formal commitment. Hell even commitment doesn't have to look the way you imagine it. I know quite a few 'committed' couples in open relationships, poly relationships, separate housing relationships, man gets to step out woman doesn't, women gets to step out man doesn't,etc.
People make their own rules and definitions nowadays. I'd say play off that and just set your own intentions accordingly.

i guess it goes to both people really. I mean i dont feel as pressed to share my intentions if the guy isnt going to tell me his intentions...

No. He'll want a commitment at some point or he'll leave you for someone who does. There is not a guy who will fuck you and take you out for dinner and have fun times and live in nirvana till your old and grey without being your boyfriend. Doesn't really exist.
If you find him though, give him my number
That'd be easy to give all that to someone like you. Just without the sex part. That in itself is a commitment.
I don't really understand what the people in CO are smoking if you cannot find that there.click to expand

Idk sag89. I find the world to be extremely variant.
People are just afraid of letting theirs out first. Vulnerability, shame and rejection are stronger motivators than honesty and total acceptance.

i feel you. i freak out as well. Even being asked to go out on a date. Thats an immediate no thank you. It must be a friend type of situation where i feel no entanglements or commitments.click to expand

The reason why i am having trouble is because i want them to read between the lines. I myself am not that upfront about my intentions.

How does this work with your Scorp bits, esp your Moon? I can relate to these comments to some degree. I literally feel a mini panic attack when I hear anything that means commitment (Venus in Sag), but a very committed and devoted relationship is the dream. It's like I am work against myself internally. Anyway, I know I am full of questions, but I had to ask. It also related to my last question in the last post.
Maybe I'll make a thread. Maybe not....click to expand

by playing games, i mean this. They start lying, being disrespectful, being ambivalent, trying to make me jealous.
With the Sag, one night he left the toilet seat up. I fell in. I texted him the next morning and said lol, dont do that shit again. he texted me back, "lol, sorry about that. Oh yeah, when i say i love you, i dont really mean that shit." wtf are we talking about bagels here? so i texted him back, "why are you trying to beef with me? after 5 years, now you wanna tell em that shit."
after ignoring his ass for a month, i gave him a chance to explain himself. I told him that was soo wrong and he was trying to hurt me over some shit. If i knew the shit, i could better relate. but he refused to tell me. instead he says, "i didnt know you really liked me like that, so yeah i do love you."
so yeah, the fucking games. thats why i stopped seeing him. He would rather play with my emotions than just ask me where i stood.
so forth and so forth

me ex leo through me for a loop. now i incorrectly think the same thing will happen. they sweet talk you and become monsters. How can someone be so nice/sweet do a 180 like that? That was alot for me to go through. to do it for the second time will take heaven and earth. i was committed and it left me penniless and brokenhearted. Now i pick relationships where that can never happen. i.e. unavailable men. NOW, unavailable men have issues. wtf gives.
your questions are never a problem.
