What would you call this type of bond. Would you say they friends still? What do you think?

When your friends with a man and you both have feelings for each other, y'all never went out. You guys made plans but it never end up happening. Yet y'all have done things that couples do like sitting on his lap and him holding you in his arms while doing it. Or y'all grabbing each others butts and him claiming your butt is his. And picking you up to and from work, buying you food almost everyday and cooking for you , making sure you eat good. What would you call this type of bond. Would you say they friends still?
