Am I being played?

Anonymous

I been seeing a guy that I work with for 3/4 months. He is several years older than me. We agreed to keep our relationship away from work. So no PDA at work and just small talk if we see each other. It sucks cause I can't act excited when I see him.

We spend a day or 2 during the week with each other and that's my choice. I have a key and can come and go as I please, as well as a few small personal things at his place that he suggested I leave.

I thought for a while it was a companionship until he got mad that I got another guys number, and he asked me how I would feel if he did the same to me. So I agreed to labels but he never actually said yes or no. But he don't disagree when I call him my boyfriend but hasn't referred to me as his girlfriend, but did give me a lock bracelet that won't come off without his necklace that has the key.

Sure we text and talk on the phone, but no good morning text or goodnight text. No pet names, he just calls me by my name. The intimacy is great. But when we are done we don't cuddle up. He rather play on his phone. So I'm stuck sitting there watching TV or sleeping until it's time to go. If I try and cuddle up with him he gives it a few min and has to get up, or he wants to show me a video and needs to sit up.

He's never taken me on a real date like the movies or dinner beyond waffle house. He does do small things to show me he cares like helping me at work when he is extremely busy (different departments) cooking for me, he even went and bought all my favorite body wash and lotions to keep at his house. I even have my own personal spot to keep my things on the counter in the bathroom and drawers to keep stuff in his room.

But I still find myself wondering why he can't be more affectionate with me, or call me baby from time to time? Am I missing something? Am I just being pacified for him to use me? So yeah wwyd? Call it quits? Have a big conversation about how I feel? Let it go?
