I do, but people are different, but it may as well be cross country if you haven't seen each other in weeks, and only texts. If the distance isn't the issue then maybe the lack of courage is what holds you back and keeps you stuck in uncertain limbo. Or are you just disappointed at his lack of courage or a better effort to pursue you as a girlfriend?
Frankly I'm shocked that after so long you have never had the talk of being more than FWB's? Or you can openly date others, sex or not. What's wrong with just FWB?
