Q: When does a bed buddy become more?!
asked by: Jaydensmommy on September 8th, 2008

Ok so I need some mens advice here on this one. So lets say you met a girl 2 years ago and you two started sleeping together several times a month sometimes even weekly. This goes on for over a year and a half and she tells you she has feelings for you so if it cannot be more than just bed buddies then its best if you guys don't talk. Time goes by and somehow you guys start hooking up again...this goes on for over 2 years. When does a bed buddy become more than just sex to a man? EVER? You mean to tell me after having sex with someone for 2 years (and its the ONLY person you sleep with...and yes I know he hasn't been with others) that you have no emotional connections or feelings for that person???

Honest input please!

I'm guessing you're the girl here... right?

Well to answer your question,

Yes, it is very possible for a man to have sex without ever feeling any connection, emotional and physical, for his partner at all even if he isn't seeing anybody else at that current moment.

Maybe your guy isn't ready for a relationship.

Maybe your guy is scared that he'll lose you if he were to take it a step further by dating you.

One way to know that a bed buddy is more to a man is when that man does more than have sex with his partner.

Like taking her out for lunch or spending a day at the beach with her.

You get the idea.

Also when he starts depending on you for more than sexual gratification, you know he is ready to take the relationship to the "next level"

Basically talk to him.

Talk to him face to face.

Tell him you want more out of this relationship and see how he respond.

Tell him how you feel and what you wish he would do.

Keep us updated and I will be more than happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Cheers,

Peter

a girls answer
i know you asked for a guys perspective but i have been in this exact situation.. so i'm going to chime in here and i hope you don't mind..without any further info i am operating under the assumption that you have already had the "relationship" talk with this person since you had to stop seeing him because you had feelings for him and because being a girl i know most girls would not be able to NOT discuss where this was all going for two years. And i am assuming again (and im sorry if i am wrong) that he said for whatever reason he didnt want a relationship...he isnt ready..or whatever..So i'll tell you what i tell all my friends who have been in this situation...Even knowing that you have feelings for him..Once he tells you he isnt ready for a relationship-everything he does from that point is justified. He can sleep with you seven days a week, have sleep overs, go out to dinner with you, basically play house with you-all without committing to you because he already laid out the bottom line-Its not going anywhere. I went through the same thing with my best friend and it took me two years to realize it was going NOWHERE. Two years that i missed out on meeting i dont know how many wonderful guys who maybe would have appreciated what my "best friend" had been taking advantage of. So i broke it off. And a year later, I was happily engaged to someone else. Don't sell yourself short. If i am wrong and you havent told him-tell him what you want and if he can't give it to you-Move on..because at that point its not about whether you're what he wants anymore..because he isn't what YOU want.

Let me tell you the truth from a guys perspective. For one Im your typical cute nice funny guy who gets along with everyone. I was popular in school. So Im the guy your looking for as an answer.
Guys can easily without question have sex without wanting more as easy as drinking a glass of water. Simple as that. All guys wish for things like that to be honest.

I agree with above butbutbut haha, I also had this problem just recently. And to all the guys that say that having sex without and emotional connection is as easy as having a glass of water, it's the same for girls too...i've had times when i've had encounters and the next day as I or he is leaving i'm going "please don't ask for my number, please don't ask for my number..." over and over again in my head. So yes, girls are that way too. Some of us just tend to be more sensitive to others feelings.

That being said...
I would give yourself a break from this guy. He obviously doesn't want to be in a relationship right now but you do. The question you have to ask yourself right now is...Do I really want to waste my time on someone who uses me for sex? Because, to be blunt, thats basically what he is doing. If you want to be in a relationship you need to shop around a bit, meet up with some different guys, chances are you'll forget your "buddy". And chances are he'll move on to another girl. Just take it easy, more men will come your way, and then one will become special enough to be in a relationship.
