So recently, I've started developing feelings for a fwb. We've been doing more romantic things than I feel like fwbs do (slow dancing in my room, going out for dinners, etc.), but I also know that she's been seeing someone else beside me.
All fwbs do. It's normal. Speaking of which, you should take advantage of the same unwritten rule ;D
I was going to tell her how I've been feeling on Halloween because we made out the night before (No. I wasn't going to show her Taylor Swift lyrics -only teasing Kopite-
people should stop giving
Kopite shit since 9 posters out of 10 who "commented" over his business have a track record way worst then his. I've read your post history and I consider you one of the "good guys" (losing the weight, giving compliments to other posters): don't mix yourself up with the people who trick themselves into thinking they are good with girls by making fun of the guy who grabbed his balls, put himself out there, and had to deal with a rejection.
Until you see other guys as rivals (either better or worst than you consider yourself to be) you will just waste self-esteem, time and opportunities: your chances with a girl are not compromised by the amount of people she has around. You get a girl? it's your merit. You loose a girl? it's your fault. Obsessing over other guys will make you stress over factors you can't control: you'll drive yourself crazy and you will misread the situations you'll find yourself in.
or give her an epic crown of sonnetts, I was just going to say "I'm curious how you feel about me because I want to understand you better" or something similar just because it kind of hurts to know that we do these things and then she does them with the other guy).
Is this the girl who was into poliamory?
Who came up with the fwbs idea, you or her? If she came up with the idea it's ok to ask her "what we are", since she is the one calling the shots. If it was you, it's a huge mistake and you will loose her.
We got drunk at this party, and I suggest going to go see a movie, and she says "I kinda wanna call the other guy", so I ask "are you two a thing?" and she says "I kinda like him." I didn't tell her how I felt, and I went back to our dorm after that.
Anyone could have read through that reaction. She knows his presence affects you. She just doesn't know how much. Yet.
I think what I'm going to do is pull back completely. I still have to see her because she's a member of a club that I happen to be the president of, but I don't have to give her my time and attention. I intend to be cordial, but I don't intend to give her any power or headspace. I want someone who will enjoy spending time with me the same amount I do with them. I'd always have to ask her to hang out and contact her first. She'd show signs of interest, but I'd rather be with someone who wants me more or as much as I want them. What do you think, GAF? Is pulling away and ignoring her a good plan?
Again, depends on who came up with the fwbs idea. Be prepared because she is going to hit you with a lot of baggage coming the next days. She is going to start to talk a lot about him and if you show any reaction she will come up with a master plan to have you two (you and the other guy) meet, just to feel the attention of being contended between two men.
I can tell she can kind of sense my indifference, she noticed that I was gone all weekend and I never told her I was leaving or that I left and she just has this vibe when I'm around her...What's that mean?
Your indifference is only stalling her: it will only work if she thinks you've found someone else you prefer over her. Otherwise, sooner or later she will try to find out why you are indifferent and she won't do that by asking for an explanation. She will force that out with a little bit of manipulation, and if you are building up frustration over this situation you will explode with a reaction that will make her feel she has captured your heart and mind: if she saw you as unattainable and then you are going to show an exaggerated overreaction, she will completely loose interest.
Also, since you considered yourself curious about poliamory, open relationships and fwbs, giving her the cold shoulder impedes you to explore this side of you. It would be better to go for it and understand yourself and your needs to a deeper degree, whatever the outcome. Keep in mind that, much like when you think you wouldn't be jealous and then you turn out to be, the opposite is also true: maybe you think you won't be able to digest the idea of your love interest sharing herself with others, but then when you are facing the actual thing it doesn't phase you that much (and it actually
excites you).
What you are doing now is kind of a dick move: you are giving her the guilt and the responsibility for an "arrangement" you were ok with until a couple of days ago. Not cool.
