Search Results: guys waiting to call

Me and this guy we're like a relationship but not at the same time, we're pretty much past the 'talking' stage. We talk all the time, open up to each other, call each other baby, cuddle, etc. we've even had sex. Basically everything couples do but we don't call each boyfriend and girlfriend. He's even said before that I may not be his girlfriend but we're dating in his mind and he's called me his girl. I asked him why not date now, he says that he's scared, he was cheated on and treated bad in his past relationships so I understand why he's not so quick to date me. But whats the point of waiting, we're practically a relationship anyway so why wait to get to a point we're already at. So should I just formally ask him out, or wait till he stops being scared. by the way he has big trust issues, and doesn't like opening up.
