If there's a decent chance, how do I bring up the possibility of a FWB with my neighbour?

Question - (10 January 2016) 2 Answers - (Newest, 11 January 2016)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

For the last few years, I have been living next door to a single mother and two adolescent children. For a long time, our relationship was strictly neighborly. We talked on occasion and got along great. Sometime around the start of the year, we were alone in her garage and the conversation veered into our sex lives. Both of us hadn't had sex in a long time.

Since then, I have often thought about the possibility of trying to start a fwb relationship with her. I would be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to her physically, and I do like her as a person. My only concern is that she's ten years older than me, and of course, has kids. I'm wondering if someone in her position would even be open to such a suggestion. I would just ask her myself, but I'm worried about offending her, and since I have to live next to her and see her everyday, things might get tense and awkward if she does get offended. If there is a decent chance, how would I bring it up?

I want to say you are stupid because you need to concentrate on other important things in your life and leave this single mother alone. You think if she wants sex she wouldn't get it.

My advice. Don't. That is exactly the same situation I found myself in with my ND neighbour except I am the woman and we were the same age - 45. Four years down the line and we are still on/off and it is sad but awkward.. can't stop but can't keep going either.

Leave well alone and good luck. x
