Friends with benefits, or more?

[Get2Think]

I think it's kind of his denial of labeling (what is clearly) a wonderful beginning to a relationship as something other than that. Maybe he has a mistrust for women from his baby momma or some reason you may not know of, that makes him want to kind of put one foot in, but not the other. In a sense, I admire both of you abilities to try and keep things slow and not ruin a wonderful thing with words. Sometimes words can't define the connection between two people. I'd say continue so long as your happy and he's treating you right. I know you will still have concerns and worries because thats what women do, but still, i would try to encourage you to keep things light, and most importantly FUN. If you do that, he'll stick around. But the moment he disrespects you or treats you any less than he would his girlfriend, call him on his sh*t and stand up for yourself. Whatever you do, do not let him think he has you wrapped around his finger and can call the shots and make the rules as how this relationship works. He may not admit your his girlfriend, but you are, so hold him to that standard you would someone your dating. I hope this helps, I'm a 27, male, and quite envious of what you have found. I have been single going on 2 years after a long-term breakup and reading "he drives over every evening to cuddle/have sex" made me green with envy.
