I met this girl (HB6.5, let's say) back at a party, and one night she stayed late and I took her home and screwed the crap out of her. I didn't want anything more than a fuck buddy at the time (and still don't from her) so I continued to bang her about once a week, and this lasted about 6 months before she popped a "what are we" convo on me... I admitted I only wanted FWB, and she didn't, so we stopped for a few weeks. Then, while with a group we ended up sleeping on the same air mattress during a out of a town trip, cuddled, and things got heated back up. Continued the FWB situation for probably another month before she told me she had to stop altogether, because it was too much for her.

Now, it's been almost 5 months since we last hooked up, and I'd really like to make her my FWB again. I've been flirting with her / attempting to seduce a bit lately (she does contact me often) but she insists on "not taking a step backwards". Maybe I should just face the harsh reality of the situation, but she was a great FWB, just not really what I want in a girlfriend. Right now, my new sarges aren't doing so hot, and I'm trying at the same time to quit masturbating and quit fucking my ex.

I can tell she still wants me, but I want to "re-ignite" the situation without any false pretenses. She maintains this "once I'm done sleeping with someone, I'm done sleeping with someone" mentality.

She's not done with you... That's why she's still contacting you. Again, what a girl says and does are two different things. My suggestion to you is to try to seduce her again... Ask her out. Go fuck her. Judging from your previous posts, you need to take care of yourself first above all. Now's the time to be selfish. But try avoiding the topic of a relationship. Don't discuss it with her. Don't lead her on, because that would be wrong.

Amen. Next time I got her in person, just gonna work up the ladder again. Funny enough, because I barely had to work it the first time I fucked her. Most times after that, too, she'd just ask to stay over and while we were both in bed, escalate over a few minutes and BAM sex. That's why she was such a great fuck buddy. So... little... effort.
