A female United States, anonymous writes:

I would like to pose this as a general question, to both male and female opinion/perspectives. If a relationship switches to "friendship" on the part of the guy, is there ever hope that it will switch back to sexual? Perhaps there is some kind of block, that if it remains sexual, it will have to go to marriage, but then if the woman changed slightly, or her position did, then perhaps he could see her in a different light???? What do you think?

LLindy87 agony auntprobably in rare cases, but in general 'if he once slept with you and sleeps with you no longer' he's just not that into you (anymore).

In my experience when my FWB guy from earlier this year stopped having sex with me. However, suddenly he came back and wanted me after ending it.

Please don't let this happen, the guy will think you will always do it with him when he wants it and doesn't care when you want it.

CindyCares agony auntVery little hope, I think. If a guy that once saw you as an erotic interest then comes to think of you as a good friend or a sister, maybe he was not so powerfully attracted to begin with, or anyway the physical spark went missing and the relationship has run its course,at least from the physical point of view. It's very difficult to rekindle that flame- unless maybe occasionally, if the woman is very persistent and determined to make it happen- but I don't think it's worth the effort. It would be wiser to wait for,or look for, someone new who is able to appreciate her also as a sexual being.

raiders agony auntI think that a person who has a sexual relationship with a person will most likely remain the same unless the person start developing feelings. Friends to sexual buddies will fall in the same agenda as long as the person don't start harassing for a relationship status.

TimmD agony auntI don't think a man will usually be able to "switch gears" like that. He likes the girl sexually? Fine. But for him to switch to friends it usually means A) he's not interested in her anymore or B) she doesn't want to have that type of relationship with him. If it's B, then there is a good chance he will still have those same feelings for her even in the future, so hypothetically if the woman has since changed her mind then he would still be interested sexually. I don't see a man wanting a woman sexually, then not, then again.

That's my opinion at least.
