What does it mean when your friend with benefits says "I care about you"?

[Anonymous]

He kissed me and said that he cares about me. He asked me out for dinner that night too. What does it mean when guys say that to girls? Care in what way? Can it mean that he likes me more than a fuck buddy?
It might be a stupid question, but it really don't understand. Please help me?

Why don't you just finish with friends with benefits and start an actual relationship?
Wouldn't you feel better and knew where you stood if you two were in a real relationship instead of in a sort of established thing where you both get pleasure by utilizing the other?
He cares and you do too.

Guys usually say what is on their minds. He cares about you and that's that. If you want to know deeper meaning, you will have to ask him yourself.

What does that mean?

friends with benefits is supposed to be free of attachments. sounds like he is developing or maybe he's just talking and thats it but kinda weird for most guys to just talk like that.

He likes you as a friend. Don't over think it.
