Of course every man and every situation is different, but I'm very confused and was wondering if maybe I could get some opinions.
So my fwb (the friendship is getting stronger but we haven't known each other for too long so we're not close friends yet) and I get along pretty well, we also go out and do regular stuff. He's pretty touchy, so even when we're out in public he grabs my waist, we hold hands, we kiss, he holds me. Honestly, we might look like a couple to other people.
He's also thoughtful – I won't be specific, but for example he has spontaneously bought things for us to use because we have talked about it before, things to please me specifically. Sometimes when we go out he pays for my food too, he picks me up, drives me home, etc. He's also the one who initiates texting.
But we're not actually dating. We've talked about it and we're ok with being friends with benefits.
From the point of view of men, are all those things normal when you have a fwb though? Is he just nice and thoughtful or could it be something else?
