Can I read into this?

I was chatting with a guy I like and mentioned an activity I wanted to do and jokingly said, “If it doesn’t get me disowned.” And his response (jokingly I’m sure), “I have an extra room.” So I said, “You’ll probably make me cook. We may have a few burned meals.” Him… “I like to cook.” Me… “We have to have chicken at least once a week.” Him… “I buy chicken all the time.” That was all that was said and the subject was changed.

Your age he likes you and probably wants to date!

If it was a teen then sure a normal talk but older it gets easier to tell.

Hope he asks you out soon!

He’s early 40’s. The situation is unique though. He’s a divorced dad who has said he’s not getting into another relationship, but some of his actions tell me otherwise.

But his words don't so he will keep just being friends with benefits at best with no relationship?
After all you know that he won't want one so your okay with not having a relationship?

The only benefits are conversation. Nothing physical.

Then go for it but he will someday push for more! All men do especially ones with kids that shows they are not asexual!

So, have you talked to him since then?

A few words, but nothing substantial. I see him twice a week because we have mutual commitments. If I start a text convo he will get back to me right away and usually text a bit, but he’s not likely to start them unless he has a question for me.
