Dear Velma for sharing your experiences. Very true that FWB guys usually unavailable for real relationship. I had that too in my younger, he insisted it should be FWB and I insisted more that led more disappointments.
You

If I actually went out on dates, (or tried to) men could reject me, I could fall in love and have things not work out, any number of things. Being kind of in love with someone you only see now and then isn't much effort. No day-to-day dealing with someone, or keeping my apartment neat on a regular basis. No consideration of the future. *Lots* of anticipation, very little disappointment.
