If he straight up told you he doesn’t want a relationship with you, then it’s looking grim. You could go the route of doing that fwb and hope he develops feelings, but I wouldn’t. I’d just move on. Nobody wants to do fwb.

In my mind: oh there’s a connection between us bc we are friends, there is a sexual connection, so why can’t there be a romantic one? Why can’t he treat me the way I deserve?

Unfortunately, the romantic connection you want just isn’t there. If he would do fwb but isn’t interested in dating you, he likely wants to keep his options open

If he said he’d be good with fwb then you’re cooked

He may just not want a committed relationship. It has nothing to do with you.

No hope for a relationship if he isn't willing to invest/commit as that isn't going to fundamentally change

Cooked
