I'll elaborate - I've been told by a couple friends that I send out "relationship vibes" and that I seem like I would never be down for a FWB kind of situation.

...except that I totally would be. I'm at a point in my life where I really don't have time to date seriously. When I try to casually ask for drinks and sex, it usually comes across to the guy in question as if I'm asking him out. Which either a) kills my chances with a guy who wants casual or b) leads a guy on; neither of which situation is optimal. I don't know how to balance not texting at all (i.e. getting nowhere) vs. coming off as desperate for a relationship.
