Thanks again! Cowpuncher: you are absolutely right and I won't wait around but it saddens me if our friendship gets hurt in the process. You mentioned having several fwb situations...this is my first one and have known him for 9 years! How do they normally happen?
Hi Jynja! Thank you for your thoughts What happened with your situation and your baby? Were all these people considering you their best friend or were you considering them your best friend? I'm sorry you had to go through the crap and be left with your jaw on the floor. I've been experiencing things similar to that also and it still amazes me! What is with all these people who are fake?
Anybody he dates will have to be VERY independent and willing to not see him very often and willing to let his boys be first and not them. He has set nights and weekends for his boys but he is SO involved that any day of the week they could have something with school, soccer, football ect and he will be there for them. This is why they normally don't work out for very long. I've never known a Leo and need help figuring them out! Just by knowing HIM..I did make him work for it and then he started saying how he wished I would ask him for it more often. Reading about Leo's I've read they both like the chase but then will also leave you in the dust if you don't answer there phone call or text. Which is it? In the beginning I noticed him on the dating site he's always on but still all up in my buisness so...I decided to tell him I had plans one night that he wanted to get together but kept me waiting till the last minute. I wasn't about to jump for him when he wants! So...he went crazy texting that night and the next day "wow, must have been some date!" All because I didn't respond till noon the next day.
You guys are great! I'm totally in tune with you and already planned on acting cool and not giving him any more of my goods! For the last 9 years he's dated probably a handful of women which all don't last more than a couple months if that so I know he will be knocking on my door soon enough and I have to be strong!
Thanks all! I have already decided that I wouldn't continue as a fwb with him...it was alright with me to "try" it out and in a sense I've conquered the wondering thoughts I always had with him! But I also know that for the last 9 years he has probably dated a handful of women all that don't last more than a couple months if that! They have to be VERY independent and willing to not see him very often and willing to let his boys be first and not them. He has set nights and weekends for his boys but he is SO involved that any day of the week they could have something with school, soccer, football ect and he will be there for them. So...knowing this new one won't last either I know he will come calling and I won't give that part up. Thanks again guys!
Cowpuncher: how do you think one can be best friends with someone and be the best sex he's had but doesn't want a relationship? I haven't talked to him for several days, he started pulling away last week which made it obvious that he was talking to someone new along with the other things I noticed in him just being his best friend. So I haven't brought it up and probably won't. I was just going to act really busy and be my happy go lucky self but also not inquire about seeing him.
Cowpuncher: thank you! We both agreed that if we started dating someone that we would tell eachother and stop the benifits part. I had also asked him once, just making sure we kept everything open, if now that we took it a step further with the sex, if he ever thought about becoming more. It was a general question because we had been talking about a mutual friend we have who dates a lot of girls and we said it kinda sucks to not have someone to go out on the town with. So I asked just in case he WAS feeling differently. He said he liked it just the way it is.
