Acting like a guy when it comes to relationships.... is it possible?

well i just got out of a relationship and im pretty annoyed by how things turned out. we met at a party and started meeting and hooking up after that, and i expected nothing more from it. However, he wanted to be my boyfriend, be official, and said he wanted to continue things after he changed colleges nxt semester. then he broke up with me when the semester ended out of no where. i am so pissed because i wouldnt have gotten feelings for him and gotten hurt if it wasnt for him saying things he didnt mean in the first place.

So i started thinking, i dont want this to happen to me again. is there some way to avoid this? and i was like... is it rly that bad to just find a guy to hookup with and hang out with but not have emotions involved? i feel like if i do this, i will just be labeled as a whore. also, if i do attempt this with a guy, wont he just hook up with other girls at the same time? not into that ****. so, can anyone share their opinion on this?thnks

    I have thought this over a lot, myself. And come to the conclusion that yeah you pretty much have to do the girl thing, and put off physical intamacy as long as possible when being courted by guys.

    Because yeah, it is a double standard but it does make you a slut, and most guys loose respect for you. That doesn't sound like it was the case for you though, which is rare. But anyhow, if you're not exclusive with a guy then it does indeed mean they can sleep with who ever they want - which you said would bother you.

    Also the fwb thing or whatever is not as simple as it seems, trust me I know. It never ends well and usually is full of miscommunication, meaning it is just ad or more complicated ad a real relationship, ay least for a woman. You always have to be watching your toes, making sure you don't say something they misinturpret (even when you don't have those feelings), and if you were friends first, 99% of the time you're friendship will be ruined later. 'cause the fact is one of you is going to want to end it first, its just messy!

    It made a lot of sense when I was younger, but now I'm almost 25 and won't do that again. I mean when I look back on my past I can only claim to have one serious b/f and I wasn't even to happy in it at the time. doing the fwb thing, also kinda takes you away from finding someone who's actually special to you, and vice versa because your distracted by your boy toy.

    So yeah...hope you find the Answers your looking for!

    Have a f buddy. And people don't have to find out. Also as long your not effing like 5 guys a week then your not being a whore. Everyone has a hookup period of their life so get it out of ur system but be safe
