Search Results: keeping the relationship going

Please read! :)

I was dating this guy for about a month and I fell real hard real fast, and he knew it. He doesn't want a serious relationship for various reasons but I did. However my mindset has changed since then and I would be open to something more casual now. (btw we did not have sex but other stuff happened).
Anyway, we stopped seeing each other because of that and he we should just be friends. It's 2 months later and now we are in non stop contact every day again. I've seen him a few times recently as well.

Yesterday, I asked if he wanted to catch up for dinner. He said yes and we spent the afternoon and late into the night walking, chilling at both his places, ordered take away and watched tv. At the end of the night I was laying on the couch with my head on his lap and his arm was over me while we watched tv. It was just such a lovely, chill night and he said I'm welcome any time. He is such a gentlemen and did not make any sexual advances so I wouldn't know what was going through his mind, but in my mind, this wasn't something I would do with one of my male friends, particularly one that I had dated in the past and wanted to keep things "friendly".

He talked to me about girls from his past that he's avoided seeing and contacting after they've stopped dating, but he still wanted to see me because I'm "one of the best" and he really loves being around me. He said I'm a beautiful woman and have a beautiful soul, that I'm kind and so gentle. The list goes on. He could have slept with me by now so it makes me think that it's not just sex that he's after, particularly after last night.

I want him like nothing else in the world but have held back so much as to not scare him away and I feel like this has worked! He is clearly interested in me to an extent.. Maybe we will date again in the future if I let this slowly build momentum again? I am quite happy dating and keeping things relaxed.

So, thoughts? Does he want to be friends or does he want more?
