Friends with benefits.

I was talking to a friend earlier who has just been on a 2nd successful date. I naturally asked her if she had a 3rd one planned and was she looking forward to it.

She said yes, but then came back to me later and said NO, not really. She has got used to living on her own without a partner. In charge of her own life, finances and decisions. While she is happy to date, she does not relish getting too close to someone that they start talking about moving in together.

The more I thought about this I realised this could be quite a common problem.

Any comments please.

i want the whole nine yards the wife the dog the children even the white picket fence .
This could definitely be the same situation for me. I really enjoy the company of a man. However it's kind of like grandkids. You love for them to visit but can't wait for them to go home.
All my friends come with benefits . First off they are my friends, If I needed help they would help me, If I'm feeling down they are always " there " and it is just fun to do things with others instead of going it alone . Now as to a serious relationship, well I just haven't met the right one yet . I have learned never to say never but I'm content the way things are now . Who really knows what tomorrow will bring ? ? . . .dunno
I get it. Well. I can think that thought u reffer to, that feeling. Still i really hope my gf-material there (date) would spirit me up. I'm like Adam on this.
What im looking for is a girl with the same romantical ideas as me. Then we're set! Goooo!

The whole 9 yeards pls. handshake

With time, I more and more start thinking/feeling like your friend, Zandaar! A good time spent with someone then again enjoying my freedom! wave
There are many women out there going it alone.I can only speak for myself.Independence,No Worries and i can get up when i want too.Just go with the flow brother.laugh
Hi zandaar!
This is problem for most women who have long lived alone and are independent financial!
I have the same problem, nevertheless I still believe that I will finaly met my soul mate. blushing
But there are one second breed of women, who are too selfish and can live with none except with themselves. Who knows which of both breed is your friend?dunno
Zandaar, that's reality! We can't fight endlessly with fate or whatever it's called. What can I do if I can't find my good match? I can't do too much compromises. And why should I???? I value too much myself and my time to do it.
Spd, only 2 types! I can tell you that I'm neither of them!
Jana

What I was thinking - are women becoming more independant while men hold to traditional values.
Jana, of course there are a lot of types, but I spoke about the most frequent maybe. The reasons of such behavior are as much as people are!wave
Zandaar, I don't know about other women but it's not my case. I am opened to everything the future will bring me regarding a relationship. But if plan A won't work, what should I do? I am for a flexible/reasonable and not hysterical reaction to reality. I am not men-hater not some hyper-emancipated monster grin In many ways I am an old-fashionable, or better say, feminine woman. But it doesn't mean I am helpless without a man wave
When you've been independent for awhile & used to it...it takes awhile to be with someone...as in living together. You're used to your freedom & independence & not having to answer to anyone. You don't want to lose yourself while being with someone.

With the right guy it shouldn't be a problem when its mutual between us both. I don't want to lose my freedom & indepence, but I don't want to be suffocated or joined at the hip. You want to look forward being together & giving each other their appropriate space.

I did kinda have a fwb situation for awhile. It was good & gave me something I was missing. He gave me the affection & stuff I didn't get from any other guy. I rather have that then go random guys & say, "I'm frisky let's get it on". I would never do it with any other guy. peace
"What I was thinking - are women becoming more independant while men hold to traditional values."

I do believe everyone should do what they feel is right, no two situations, no matter how similar they appear, are exactly the same.

All I know is, that if I were dating someone and later find out that they have a FWB and are sleeping with them on a regular basis, it doesn't make me feel like I'm starting with someone from scratch, the very beginning, there is already someone in the closet.

dunno confused grin
Jana, I have the perfict answer . We will live together part time . . . .love love .. . .You can come down here in the winter time and enjoy the sun and fun and that rich Carabbean lifestyle then you can go back to Europe in the summertime to enjoy the weather and the life there .
