I feel bad for using my guy friend. We haven’t been fwb for long we have good sexual chemistry but I know he likes me and he knows I don’t like him back in the same way. I still feel guilty like am I stringing him along or should I stop feeling guilty?

You should feel guilty imo

He knows what the situation is and he knows you don’t have feelings but he’s def holding out hope that it’ll turn into something more than just fwb, I would cut that off

I guess I’m in the minority in this, but if you made clear you don’t have feelings for him and he still wants a fwb relationship with you, then that’s his choice. It’d be analogous to like if you friend-zoned someone. If someone were to ask you out and you said in response that you weren’t into him like that, but both of you agreed to remain platonic friends, that’s not leading him on. Neither is it stringing him along when benefits are involved either, imo.

I agree with #1. I get it, you made your thoughts/intentions clear, so it IS his choice to keep doing it….. but if you KNOW it’s hurting the person, why on earth would you keep doing it? If you care about them, you’d just find someone else that wants what you want. You are 100% using him.

Yea I agree if he has feelings he is gonna be attached unhealthy by having sex while those feelings are not given back

Key words are that he knows you don’t like him back in the same way. If that is accurate, than I wouldn’t consider that stringing him along, and if with that knowledge he still wants to be fwb despite having unreciprocated feelings, then that’s his choice.
