What are you to a guy if you’re not “official” but not just FWBs?

Sooo long story short, I’ve been seeing this guy for about 6/7 months now. He’s great, like his personality etc, not a lot of complaints.

i hate the terminology FWBs but we’ve been arguably FWBs for the entire time. We never really had a discussion on the whole “what are we” situation. I asked him softly one time a couple of months ago (this was over text) and he said he’s not emotionally ready to be in a relationship this year because his last one ended badly.

at the time I asked this we broke it off for a couple weeks because I was def getting overly attached and expressing it in negative ways I think (he ended up blocking me lol but “forgave” me and hmu a week or so later after things cooled off). But now we’re “normal” again, and I feel like I feel him growing more “open”, like more talkative, more cutesy actions, texting etc. Although we mostly just still stay inside (no “real” dates).

i don’t think it’s appropriate for me to ask the “what are we yet” because of what he said before. But guys, if you find yourself in a similarly situation, do you actually like the girl and see yourself with her despite the whole no title thing? I can’t tell what he actually thinks about me (just friends or more). Like I just slept over for three days in a row lol. It feels a bit more than fuck buddy ish. And I don’t know how I should act around other guys (aka hook up should I still act single etc. I’m afraid to ask and ruin things).
