37M I’ve been dating a FWB for six months on the dot. Early on she, 39F, was clear and transparent about not having bandwidth to jump into a relationship (a kid and a divorce in process), and I very much wanted to play the field which was a good understanding. We ended up connecting very well if not an exceptionally well compared to my past experiences and other dates. We’ve been on half a dozen adventures and every one of those and regular dates always go great. We have fabulous times together. We were FWB, then a couple months ago probably more like FWB , and at this point we are dating and she's suggested we schedule a weekly regular state-of-the-union date. She’s introduced me to her kid a few times but we haven’t really been around each others friends much yet with minor exception or two. I confronted her seriously over this week and we’ve talked and both have real strong feelings for each other but it’s also not in the cards yet; she says she can’t imagine ever living with a partner again for example (quite understandable/normal in her situation), not that that would happen any sooner than a year or two out, and specifically wants me to keep dating around. It’s ironic to me as the man wanting the relationship and not wanting to sleep around getting shutdown, and having a metric ton to offer this person. lol. I realize this person is going through a lot, a long marriage that failed, sexuality that was repressed for past religious reasons, and probably a sense of FOMO in the world. Shrug emoji, and sigh.
