What does it mean when you get jealous that your fwb is hooking up with others?

Made a rebound fwb who I've only slept with a couple of times and to be honest, he is way out of my league.
He informs me of the other side girls and I just act cool and encourage him even more and boost his ego but it hurts me because I want him to be with me but I'm scared I will get rejected and end up being lonely again.

I'm sorry, it's really really hard. But at the end of the day if he isn't interested you're going to end up with a lot of hurt. Besides there's always someone out there waiting for you :erm:

I assume this means that you've developed feelings for him. Be careful, because he won't necessarily feel the same

You've caught the feels. Is there any chance of a relationship with him, or are you just looking now? :smile:

He has reinstated that he just sees me as a friend who he's sexually attracted to and nothing more and that we can't keep doing this if feelings r involved. So he most definitely does not reciprocate.

To be honest there might be a chance of a relationship a few years along the line (my theory) as we are quite similar people but this moment in time he just wants 'fun'

Get out ASAP, it'll screw everything up. Better to avoid collateral damage.

Yes. I said it, we all said it...you get out of the fwb

Unless you find another guy you're stuck with him

I didn't get into one of these from a girl I was seeing that wanted to be FWB after we split up. She strictly declared that she will end it when one of us will find someone else. She wasn't out my league but I lack confidence with girls. So the main reason I didn't pursue it was out of embarrassment that she would find someone "better" after I tried pursuing a relationship initially.

I think you're just worried because you want a relationship out of him but you know that's not possible with his sleeping around

If you are sure you have feelings for him which are not reciprocated by him, don't put yourself in the fwb situation any longer as it will be hard to ignore your feelings.

As you asked about 'unfalling for him', that will take time and is easier (in personal experience) if you try to cut all contact and don't speak to mutual friends about him. Good luck :smile:
