Would you...?

No.

None of the efforts in that direction were worthwhile. I knew what I was looking for, and that wasn't it. You may be looking for something else, and your mileage will certainly vary. In fact, I think that's exactly the core of the question and the best answer. If you're both looking for the same thing, regardless of whether it is love or sex, the prognosis is good. But you're not looking for the same thing, it can only end badly.

Knowing what one is looking for is no trivial matter. Especially when there are mixed motivations. Self knowledge inexpressably valuable.

Well, yeah, Big V., and as I noted already, in the past I would have been much less interested in a FWB relationship. But I'm in a new town where I don't know hardly anyone, the last year alone has been OK, but it gets old after a while. Plus, I'm 54 and he's 46 - a boy toy! LOL! Seriously, its not that easy for a woman in her 50's to find a guy. Guys always tend to want younger women which at this point leaves me with the 65 plus crowd. My friend is more or less in the same place as me - he got out of a very bad relationship 10 months ago - prior to that he was married for 21 years. We're both battle scarred veterans who want a little casual companionship with a member of the opposite sex. Might as well give it a shot.
