He moved states to be with me, but he’s saying we’re together but not in a relationship. He’s not talking to anyone else and neither am I. He keeps saying he doesn’t want to rush anything. Should I talk that at face value or is there more going on?
I would not take that at face value. I mean it's a bold face lie, who are you fooling? Seriously, he moved states, and is not seeing anyone else... well, he's in a relationship with you if wants to admit it or not. So, he tells you any lie he wants to choose to believe, but that's a serious RED FLAG to me.
I mean my co-work as a dog named Rider. He brings Rider to work every day, every day that dog comes to me and wants me to pet it. And you are gosh damn right I pet that dog, and I like that dog... be its not my dog... I could say I have no relationship with that dog, but I would be lair if I said it. Because tomorrow like every other day that dog will come up to me want me to pet it, you better fucking believe I am going to pet that damn dog. Why, because I have bonded with it on some level, and I have a relationship with it.
Now I am talking about a dog here, so you want to explain to me how you are seeing this guy, and wants to act like you have no relationship?
I will be 100% honest, scouts honor on this fact. I only say things like to women, when I honestly have no intention of doing right by and I want to be honest about it with her, without straight out saying to her I am going to see other woman.
Now most woman call bullshit right away on that, which honestly, they should, and I expect that they would and relationship which was not relationship... truly becomes a non-relationship. Which is what I wanted I guess, because if truly wanted a relationship with her, I would have one with her... like I have with Rider, and it not even my dog.
I might truly petnap that dog someday. Not really, but he would never be homeless as long as I am around.

He likes that you two are together but he doesn't want to be committed to it. Hence, you are "together" but not in a "relationship". Simply out, the difference is in commitment, and lack thereof.
You should ask him instead of us because only HE knows what those words mean to him. Relationships mean different things to different people so it is important that you both understand what you mean and that you're on the same page.
But if I had to assume still, I'd think that he means you guys are dating but not officially or exclusively in a relationship yet, and don't have any labels like boyfriend, girlfriend, partner or significant other attached.
That seems fucking disingenuous to me.
He moved states to be "together" but he doesn't want that to be a relationship?
Wtf does he think a relationship is?
in my opinion, I'd be one foot out the door. That's either cheater behaviour trying to keep his options open, or it's too much trauma to bring into a new relationship.

He's trying to eat his cake and have it too.
You need to talk to him directly.
Here's the bottom line: if he wanted to be in a committed relationship with you, he would PERIOD.
'Together, but not in a relationship'... wtf does that even mean? And you just accepted that? You should have laughed him out of the building. And, with respect, you don't know if he is talking to other women or not.It’s a way to say, we together and I like you but if another girl I like or even just think is hotter is available then we aren’t in a relationship so I can be “together” with her too. (That’s how I read it, but I never use that line, if I’m together with a girl it’s a relationship.)
If there is no relationship, I guess that means you are free to date other people. A relationship means "exclusive" If not exclusive then all bets are off. Tell him that and see how long it takes him to change his view.
nowadays thats called *exclusivity*. if you want something more be blunt 🤷🏻♀️ just know exclusivity is the benefits of a friends with benefits, but not a romantic partner
doesn't want to rush anything, yet moves states completely uprooting his entire life. right... dude will never be in a relationship with you. he's got other intentions... using you for whatever it is, is one of them.
Maybe I'm a cynic but to me it sounds like he would be willing to mess around with someone else if the opportunity were to arise, and then say that it isn't cheating because "we were not in a relationship."
Be patient. He’s not ready yet. The fact that he moved to your state to be with you is a very good sign.
He moved to the states to be with you and says that we’re together but we’re not in a relationship. How does that make sense?
I can't tell any difference in that statement.
It’s means your together but not in a relationship.
"I want us to have sex but i want other 🐱 too, because we are not in relationship"
He wants the benefits of a relationship without committing. In short, friends with benefits.
My sister run. He wants a good time with no responsibilities. Except you’re down for that. If not, take off your shoes and RUN.
Girl.. you’re in a situationship
He’s not sure what he wants. Flick him.
You're a convenience
You are his live-in ****-buddy.
You're just friends with benefits to him.
