cloy247 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 My friends with benefits and I admitted feelings for one another but we didn't want to commit, so we aren't together officially. I flew back home because of the coronavirus but now Australia has imposed a travel ban for at least 6 months. We won't be seeing each other during this period, and when I go back I'll definitely have to see him because of school/ I left stuff at his place. Any tips whether this dynamic can continue for these 6 months? How do I avoid awkwardness when we see each other again? Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) For starters, I'd stop referring to him as a FWB because there aren't any benefits happening for you. I would suggest the two of you just carry on as single...and as neither of you want to commit, it doesn't sound like that would be a problem. Awkwardness will either be there or it won't, all you can do is wait and see what happens when this is all over. Edited March 21, 2020 by basil67 Link to post Share on other sites
Fletch Lives Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Yes, the problem with LDR's is the couple don't see each other for long periods and are prone to losing interest. Link to post Share on other sites
ExpatInItaly Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I don't see what there is to maintain, to be honest. You didn't have a commitment before, so you're both free to see, date or sleep with whomever you choose. You can keep in touch, of course, but I wouldn't try to place any expectations on him or yourself. Six months is a long separation, particularly when you're not a couple. It is likely one of you will lose interest somewhere along the way, or at least explore other options in the meantime. Out of curiosity, why didn't you two want to commit if you both have feelings for each other? Link to post Share on other sites
