What's a guy really saying here? You're good enough to have sex with but not be his girlfriend that's what.

And if he does meet someone he's really into, you'll have to hear all about it as you're mates, right? As for the friends bit, sex and friendship can't mix anyway. That's even if you believe straight men and women can even be friends! Even worse than a one night stand as that's at least clear cut. Don't be anyone's fwb.

You can't 'switch' to a relationship or become a couple. If you're both unattached, you'd know if you were emotionally attracted and date. It'll be effortless and natural and it will work out or it doesn't.

If your fwb DOES all of the sudden want a relationship you can bet that he needs to use you for some reason e. g. Money, somewhere to live.

Because a man can have sex with a woman a thousand times and it won't emotionally attach him to her if he's not feeling it in the first place.

Probably preaching to the converted but I see so many women go for this nowadays.
