Why is he starting to ask me how I’m doing?

Guy and I were supposed to friends with benefits. We just ended up talking. He said he didn’t want a relationship bc of work and did a great job of making sure we keep conversations short and casual. Deep down I do think he cares about me in some way. We got into it a few months ago and stopped talking.

I did reach out to him to ask if he passed his firefighter test.. he said yes. Then he asked me how I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. The last couple convos.. he never ask before
