dating after 35 (78)
Lok_Simpson: So , interesting topic.
Have you been single so long now that you think about not dating , with intent for a serious relationship , but for a "friends with benefits" kinda thing , as i seem to think in this day and age that most of us are single because we are too busy to have a relationship full time , and a , more casual approach seems to work better..
Anyone think im on to something here , or climbing the wrong tree?

Not into " friends with benefits" its a full time relationship or not at all for me.

Nope, spent the last decade doing the fwb thing
The jury's out on whether I want to date or not right now though.
Anyway, I don't think there's any such thing as too busy for a relationship, it's something that should surround our lives, not something that we need to squeeze or fit in

FWB not for me-just the way I am. Sounds too cold, detached.
Think if you meet the right person you will move heaven and earth to be with them??

I totally agree. I can't do fwb or one night stands or casual flings. I want the real deal and I do believe that when you really like someone, you do what you can to be together and you compromise.

Hey Lok
Good to see you pop in.
I couldn't do FWB. I couldn't cope. But thats just the way I was raised.
But thats a problem the other way as well. Cause it makes it hard to just date and go with the flow.
But isn't that situation really considered FWB anyway. Dating and going with the flow. If something turns more concrete will good on it. If it doesn't theres always the next one.

Hey Lok, nice to see you, hope all is well 
To me a FWB is about scratching the itch and thats it its really not something that floats my boat.
Personally I want a relationship, but the problem is that I dont just want 'any relationship'. I know I've been incredibly spoilt. I have had the fantastic, amazing, wonderful relationship, and Im not prepared to settle for less now.
Does that make me fussy? some would say yes, but I think Im just more aware of the qualities I need in a relationship for it to work.

The FWB, whatever, just dating for dating sake does nothing for me, has to be something worth dating for, and the fringe benefits dont cut in unless you stick around for a while. JMO

I agree with you 100% honey
To me friends with benefits is somebody that owns a yacht, a condo in Hawaii or can carry a fridge up 6 flight of stairs by himself. 
Hey Lok, I read the replies to this post and it made me feel embarassed to say that I like FWB. I like to live alone so I'm my own person in the style that suits me. I've recovered from a bad relationship and don't want to lose myself again. Maybe when I'm old.....then again, maybe not. :o) Until then, FWB works for me.

Hiya Lok :)
Personally I think FBs are just are cop out but each to their own and if both agree to just been FBs, nothing against it
Dating after 35 doesnt mean anything as does not stop one from getting dates.
You have to make time for a relationship to work or you will be single and get out from behind the keyboard to meet people
It does work

I made it just in time ( at 36) to say I do not want friends with benefits
