I might be developing feelings for my fb/fwb and it scares me. Please read and share thoughts.?

[confused]

So here it goes- no shame in my game....
We met via craigslist personals- which is already gonna be a red flag for most of you reading this and kinda for me as well, but hear me out.

I ended up recognizing his name as someone I knew from my childhood summers at a bible camp. So I guess, that shared past made it a little more comfortable and made me interested in meeting him. We met and one thing led to the next, we had sex and it was really, really good. :-) Anyhow, the next few days consisted of us texting just about everyday. Mostly sexts, but he also made a point to say things like "I really like being with you" "I miss you" stuff like that. I of course reciprocated b/c I thought he was really just talking about sex.

We've had sex 4 times in 2 weeks, nothing too crazy, but it really just feels different. I have had good sex before but it isn't the same feeling as when you just feel like you fit, right? And I have never craved someone like I have with him.

I know that so far it is just sex, but I can't lie- I have feelings for him, more than just sex. And that doesn't mean I want to be his girlfriend. I just feel good with him and would like to know more- outside the bedroom. Which could end up backfiring and turning me off to him sexually as well, but I doubt it.

I am just thrown b/c I know the way we met is kinda sketchy, but it is nor impossible.

What are your thoughts? Have you been in one of these fb/fwb relationships before? Did you guys end up together? Is it crazy that I am open to the idea that I might have found someone on CRAIGSLIST of all places?

NOT CRAZY that you found someone on CL. At all. I am not saying your feelings aren't genuine, but did you know that sex releases all sorts of chemicals in your brain which may make you THINK you are in love? Especially if it is good sex, and especially with women. Just keep that in mind. Otherwise, if you feel like you really want to pursue this, try asking him out on a real date - dinner and a movie - no sex involved. If he makes the time for that, he is likely interested in more just like you. If he can only find time for sex, then it is what it is. Good luck! I hope it works out.

Craigslist is awesome.
