This is really embarrassing. There is the guy I think is just fantastic, and for a little over a year we hooked up a few times, including sex. But then right after that he got into a fairly serious relationship. She broke up with him a little over a month ago and I know he has moved on/is looking for other girls.
We're friends and hang out now and then, and I'd really like to just be friends with benefits with no emotional attachment (
I'd love being in a relationship but I don't think he's up for it).
Can you guys help me?
Is there a way to seduce him into having sex again? I know he finds me attractive,
but I think if I suggested it to him straight he'd turn me down in a heartbeat.
I think you need to look at what you have written and be honest with yourself.
You say you want a fwb relationship with him because you think he wouldn't be interested in a romantic relationship.
You want to manipulate him into bed because you think he wouldn't be interested or would turn you down if you don't play games.
I am going to be blunt. Why do you want to be used for sex by someone who you think doesn't want more than to hang out with you every now and then? Why do you want to be a number or notch on the bedpost?
I have nothing against consenting adults having fun as long as they are aware of the consequences and enter into the relationship with their eyes wide open. I am not certain your eyes are open. I think you are looking at settling for what you can get. Personally, I think you can do better.
For now, be his friend if you want a relationship (friendship.) Let him sort out his feelings and heal. If he wants to use women and sex as bandages for his hurt heart and damaged pride, let other females be used and dumped when he doesn't need them anymore.
If being his friend isn't enough, let him go instead of playing manipulation games. You may think you can handle the emotionless fwb relationship because you did in the past, but I think you have already allowed feelings for him to grow. Be honest with yourself, how would you handle his finding another 'fairly serious relationship' while using you for nothing more than a warm body?
You may be in the 'friend zone', but it is better than being in the dump with the used bandages and crutches.
