reader, anonymous, writes (22 January 2011): im wondering wow, its been two years. how long can it last if its just sex. if its just sex, then we could still go out and look for someone better i guess. if we keep this for longer, we both could get more comfortable or attach with each other. is it a good thing or a bad thing? im wondering, since its on and off, why keep coming back?

She let go of the last guy because she wanted to be available if an available man came along (this guy was married and offered no future). The guy before that just drifted away and the guy before that found someone else. So FWB relationships are merely transitional, sex-only, maybe with some friendship thrown in...but not romance really.

It will last as long as you both allow it to last. When one of you decides you've had enough, then it will stop.

You offer sex without wanting to be emotionally involved, so any commitment is not part of the deal. Any female who thinks it will ever be more, once they say to a guy, I don't mind having sex casually, she has automatically blotted her book for anything meaningful with this guy.
When he's ready to be in a full-committed relationship he will choose the female who would never become a FWB, a female who will consider sex only, as part of the whole package. So it will last as long as you're are happy with the deal, or when he starts seeing someone he really falls for.

 Hello. There is nothing you can expect on this kind of relationship. It is all up to you. Stop, if you feel it leads to nowhere and causing you pain.
You are young and you can still find someone you can call your own. Someone who will put you first and who thinks about you and care for your well-being, who wants to be with you and wants to have a future with you...move on with your life and don't settle anything for less.
Build up your confidence again, believe in yourself. When you do this you'll feel great about yourself.

It will last as long as you allow it to last. It is hard to get out of a FWB situation if the guy does not respect you and only sees you as sex. It could progress but both parties have to want it. Why did you ask?
