Relationship 101: When does a relationship become "official"?

[audemarzz]

Lmao he's selling you a dream if you're not official and he's saying it's exclusive

"I don't talk to any other girls"

Then again, ignorance is bliss

Honestly only a fool is talking to one women when it isn't serious even when they starting to get more serious always keep your options open.

It is.

I had a situation like that before. It was perfect. He was focused on school and I was focused on work. We don't like messing with a ton of people, and we already were cool with each other so it was cool.

I probably wouldn't trust other guys to tell me when they wanna or have messed with other girls. Honesty is the best policy.

Breh I've told so many girls that and they wanna believe it so bad

 

[CinnaSlim]

I don't want a relationship, but I want exclusivity. Why is that so hard?

This is the male mindset for women. Y'all need to be loyal without commitment

But no way I should be

I'm too young to be tied down

 

[Claudex]

You can if you have no other options at the moment, but why would you? If you're going to intentionally be exclusive you might as well be intentionally in a relationship.

I don't think so.. that's the point of a relationship. If you are FWB and exclusive you are basically in a relationship

That's the thing! I fully get what y'all mean but Ion know, maybe I see relationships differently.

I feel like if I'm a man. In a FWB relationship with a woman. With exclusivity. It ain't quite the same as a relationship, it's very similar but not quite the same. Like a rare phenomenon that applies to @CinnaSlim's own previous FWB situation.

On some "We're only fukking each other for health purposes, but are not interested in actually dating" type of shyt.

But yeah I fully acknowledge that an exclusive two-sided FWB will most likely end in a relationship.

You get me
Exactly, there's more to a relationship than sex.
Fwb is like sex without romance. It's just a release of stress and sexual tension.

But eventually someone catches feelings

Why?

Not always, but what people fail to realize is that fwb relationships are meant to be temporary. In serious committed relationships, you are committed to trying to keep the relationship going for as long as possible.

Fwb is a relationship of convenience. Both people have needs to be met, and it works. If you decide hey, I want to commit to this girl. The Fwb relationship will end either way, it will turn into a serious relationship or the convenience will be lost and it will just end, and you'll move on.

 

[CinnaSlim]

Why?

Because, I move too much. I can't give my full time, attention and obligation to someone when I'm bouncing through states.

I want exclusivity because I don't want to be catching STI's or caught up in drama.

 

[Diondon]

It's better to get verbal confirmation
People play too many semantics games outchea
"Wellllllllllll you never said we were exclusive exclusive"

What you're talking about sounds more like a hook-up/fukkbuddy type of relationship. Hit up late night ONLY when you wanna fukk and leave.

FWB implies some kind of friendship and emotional connection, so that inevitably over time leads to deeper feelings. Especially if you hang out with them/cuddle after
