So like this guy and I have been seeing each other casually for 1yr and a half but during that time we’ve never went on dates or anything he’s never even called me by my name just “baby” and we’ve talked and hung out maybe 8 times without sex but we never leave his place or mine and it’s not enough to say I love you , I even asked if we were just friends with benefits and he said I guess yea but anyway he came over we did our thing hung out and chatted for a bit after like normal then I saw my brother was coming to my place and he literally jetted said “love you” and left which he’s never even said I like you I’m so confused this whole time I thought we were just having sex so now I feel like I have to ask more questions about if he’s serious or not help also we have seen and spoken to each other since he said but he didn’t say it again and neither of us brought it up

Lol no I never expected to date the guy I knew we were strictly just fucking but then he started acting weird like getting jealous low key and cuddling after sex that’s why I was just wondering if should I address these behaviors or not cause he also asked if I was going to go on some trips with him he has planned
