10 Clear Signs She Only Wants a FWB Relationship
There’s no doubt that modern dating can be confusing. Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out what someone truly wants out of a relationship.
I’ve been in situations where I thought things were heading in a serious direction, only to find out she was just looking for something casual.
Over time, I learned to pick up on subtle signs that helped me understand when a woman was only interested in a friends-with-benefits (FWB) situation.
Here’s a list of 10 signs, based on my personal experience, that can help you determine if she’s looking for something casual and not a committed relationship.
1. She’s Clear About Not Wanting a Relationship
From the start, she makes it known that she’s not looking for anything serious.
Maybe she even tells you outright, “I’m not ready for a relationship right now,” or “I’m just having fun.”
If she’s vocal about her intentions early on, it’s a big sign she’s only looking for an FWB situation. When someone sets that boundary right away, take it seriously.
I remember one time I met someone, and on our first date, she casually said, “I don’t want a boyfriend right now.”
