I (27F) am planning to end FWB arrangement of 4 months with an emotionally unavailable 28M. I am a hopeless romantic and ultimately, I don't think casual relationship is for me. (I also used casual dating as a distraction and it's time for me to focus on myself again). It was a hard decision to make because the sex is amazing but I caught feelings for him (mostly infatuation). I never told him and honestly, I don't plan to either. We won't be compatible in a serious relationship so I don't see the point of mentioning that. Besides, he told me he does not want a relationship because it's not a priority for him.

I'm going to ask him for a genuine friendship. If he agrees, I'll start hanging out with him once I no longer have romantic feelings. I truly want to be a good friend without hidden intention. I have fear of abandonment and rejection so I would be sad if he chooses not to be friends. I do know that I can not force a friendship and I need to learn how to let people go...

Am I doing the right thing here? Would love to hear encouraging words! Should I confess about my feelings? Do you have advice on staying strong and how to end the FWB? Would greatly appreciate it.
