FWB / relationship question?

Question

My best friend recently told me that he liked me and always had. He had just gotten out of a relationship when he told me this. So he asked if i wanted to hang out and take this further. Which i eventually agreed to do. So for a few nights we made out and fondled. Then we went on our first real date. Later that night we were texting when i asked him what he wanted to happen between us. He told me that I (not him...ME) wasn't ready for a relationship and that we should just go crazy and have fun. So then I finally had a name for what was between us FWB. This is the first time I've ever been with someone. And i have feelings for him and he knows this. I want more but know that I'm not emotionally capable of having a relationship right now, like he said.

I wanted to know if anyone's ever gone through this, and how it ended up.

Answer 1

Been through that situation, but being a male I feel he wants  the fun of a relationship without actually having one. You need to really take a week for yourself to understand what really makes you happy. He just got out of a relationship, and now you've been there all along, don't be the rebound chick. Make him work for that specialty that makes you, you. Don't give in to temptation because it only leads to more confusion.  

Good Hunting!

Answer 2

what makes you think you're not ready to be in a relationship? if he really likes you, like, really actually is your best friend, then he should be willing to coach you through your first relationship process. it sounds to me like he's the one who's not in the mood to get involved.

honey, in my opinion, don't do it. if you start out knowing that you want more than he does then you're pretty much signing up for that for good.

plus, it might s***w up your friendship. if i were you, i'd hold on to your true feelings (don't let him tell you how YOU feel. he doesn't really know) and tell him "you know what, as cool as that sounds, i actually really like you and i don't think i'm looking for crazy fun in my first relationship. how bout some crazy fun as friends?"

i'm just afraid you'll get taken advantage of, even if unintentionally.

tread lightly, m'dear.
