So my best friend who is also my friend with benefits now of 2 years, has been acting differently towards me the past few months. He's also my roommate. I keep noticing him looking at me smiling when we watch tv together. He has been setting up pillows by his legs so I can lay on them, caresses my hair while we are watching tv, he downloaded a song for me because he thought I might like it. Plays "I love you" songs in the car when we are driving. One night during sex, he cupped my cheek with his hand and stroked my lips with his thumb, which he's never done before. We don't sleep in the same bed, but sometimes I'll come home to find him curled up in my bed sleeping. He's also been leaning his head on me a lot lately and hugging me more before bed. He remembers little things we've talked about months ago if not 2 years ago. Him acting more affectionate now is throwing me off. Am I reading too much into this, or is he falling in love with me? Ok now he is offering to take me out to a sitdown restaurant that I've never been to before. He says he's going to stay single for a while and also encouraging me to stay single. He let me kiss during sex and he grabbed the back of my head and pulled me in closer to the kiss as he kissed me harder like he's been wanting to kiss me for a while but hasn't. Opinions please.
This is very sad. Both of you are in a situationship and are acting like you two are married or something. Why hasn’t there been talk about a relationship? Y’all sleep together, go out to eat, live together etc but are too scared to talk about it being together? Very weird.

It sounds like you two have been living together, having sex, and he is beginning to really acre and see a future with you. Basically, he is catching feelings and looking for a green light to take it to traditional boyfriend and girlfriend from here on. Are you ready for a very serious commitment. He seems to be at that point.
Is he getting emotional in his conversations now? Have you noticed an increase of sharing personal and his family type information?
That's great and all, but I wouldn't get too excited..
First of all, why are you in an friends with benefits arrangement when it clearly is NOT what you want? Second, why would he want to enter a committed relationship at this point after getting free 🥧 pie for two years (hint: he wouldn't)
