Can FWB ever evolve into something more?

1. For sure if both want it to.

2. Yes I think a lot of relationships start that way

3. Yes but the respect doesn’t always carry on low key

5. Don’t do FWB if you’re hoping it will lead to something serious in the future.

6. Oh yeah

7. It can, but for most people it won’t. I know a lot of people who start that way but it’s still uncommon

8. Yep it just has to be very mutual.

   You should never expect this going into FWB, or while you’re in it. Just be honest about where you’re at and if they feel similar maybe it does.

9. Literally any relationship can evolve into any kind of relationship. Enemy’s can become friends, friends can turn into dating, dating can turn into marriage. And vice versa

   So sure, fwb can turn into more. Is is the norm? More than likely not. I’ve had a fwb for almost 2 years now. It began as a hookup, wasn’t even expecting to continue talking after the first time. So if a hookup can turn into fwb then Really anything can happen. At one point a handful of months ago I wanted more than fwb with her but I reazlied it wasn’t gonna happen. So in my case I wouldn’t count on it

10. Occasionally. But don’t go into it hoping for it or expecting it. And if that’s what you want from the beginning, it’s best to avoid altogether.

11. It’s how me and my ex ended up together. It was pretty surface level for a while and slowly but surely we fell for eachother. It can happen, just don’t try to force anything. People who favor fwb are usually flighty when it comes to titles and commitments so beware of that. That’s why they want a fwb instead. Just don’t go into a fwb thinking this is the way to get into a relationship with them. If it happens great if not, that’s to be expected.
