Honestly I don't know how I feel about this. Casual sex, or "friends with benefits."
I've tried casual dating before, and at the time, I decided that I can't handle that kind of relationship. If I'm with someone, I want to be with that person, and not have them go out with someone else if they choose to.
So anyway, I bring this up because of this guy. His name is Edward. I've known him for a couple of years now, but we've never met. He lives in MN, not too far from me, actually. It's probably a half hour/40 minute drive. But for some time now, he keeps mentioning that he wants to meet me. He always calls me Gorgeous (he says it so often I'm starting to think that's what I'm called in his phone). He's made it blatantly clear that he wants to have sex with me.
A couple of weeks ago we were texting and we started talking about relationships. He told me that he's been burned so many times that he really feels he's only willing to try it seriously one more time with one person. Ever. Everyone else is going to be a friend with benefits until that one person comes along. However, he never said where I fall in that category. I know that he wants me, so I'm assuming I would be a friend with benefits. I don't know how to feel about this, and I don't know how I feel about him, really. Since we've never met, I just don't know. He's really fun to flirt with through text messages, and he seems smart.
I'm just frustrated because a) I haven't had sex in a VERY long time and b) I really don't know if I could handle a "friends with benefits" relationship with someone without having an emotional bond. GRRRRR!!!!!
Oh, and on a side note, I know that he loves rough sex. Can I say yay?
