This guy and I dated during the summer, but we weren't getting along. So we stopped dating and were friends with benefits for a month. he said it was over between us and that he did not want to be intimate anymore. It ended in January because, again, we were not getting along.
Recently, he and the guy had been texting. He told me he had a "spicy" dream about me. And I asked him if he wanted to have casual sex with me. He said, "That's a complicated question," and he asked me out for a casual lunch. But he said he was ok with casual as long as it's just casual.
We went to lunch yesterday he didn't mention anything about sex. He did glance down at my breasts a few times. But probably because my bra was showing as the dress I wore was too big (I've been losing weight). After lunch, he told me it was nice to see me and hugged me. I hugged him back but didn't say anything. He then texted me later, saying it was nice seeing me today. I did reply that time via text. I'm surprised he didn't mention anything sexual. He told me via text (before we met) that he was ok with casual as long as it was just casual. During lunch, he asked me how I've been doing, etc. I mentioned that I needed to find an outdoor sport to do during the summer. He also mentioned pickleball (which is a sport that he enjoys and likes to play). He knows I have never played it before, so I'm not sure why he mentioned it. Anyway, it was just odd. I was expecting him to say something sexual.
I don't get it he said he was ok with casual, talked about how he had a sex dream about me. But did not mention anything sexual when we met for lunch.
@Clairexx88,
Ask him.
"Joe (or whatever his name is), I would like for our relationship to be physical. But I'm getting the impression that you don't. It's great being friends! But FWB means that benefits are sex, not dental insurance."
Okay, you can leave out that last sentence if you want to. Personally, I would keep something like that, mainly to make it clear that it doesn't have to be awkward and overly fraught with meaning.
@jespah,
from the guys point of view you are 100% correct. directly asking and clearly stating intention is key. we are still men after all. subtle hints and such generally don't register. even saying casual as a codeword so to speak is pressing it. granted he SHOULD have understood but best not to leave it to chance
