Oops - my apologies Cubby, I did not read your original thread properly. Please disregard my response!
It is fine meri. Everyone has right to say something here. I do have thought of referring it as FWB but "Blindness" makes me real laugh

We broke up few months ago but still keep communicating sometimes. He once emailed and said something like when he found a better job, he will take me out to dinner because I'm his special friend. I just feel something subtle and am a bit confused. I know he doesn't want to have a relationship cos' of stress and that's why we broke up.


This part sounds like "You're my special friend and if I buy you dinner, can we have sex?"


In general he may mean it as "You're someone that I have deep affection for but am never willing to let myself become in a relationship with again. [But you'll always have a special place in my heart!]"
You said all exactly what I've been thinking of. So, this is whata guygenerally means whenhe uses the term "special friend" to a gal? Then, a special friend seems better than a friend with benefit, or do you see the same?


We, people, are really complicated. I hope we be more simple...

"Special Friend" + dinner = sex / FWB


else: "special friend" = someone that I really care about but am going to avoid being "serious" with at all costs (for some reason) - says nothing about FWB.
