We met 3 months ago from Hinge, but there was a month gap between our 2nd and 3rd date due to both of us traveling, so have been on 10 dates. We've established we're both looking for LTR. Overall, it's going very well. He's planned and paid for most of our dates, which are always several hours long. We have a lot in common and conversation flows. On our 3rd date, we had our first kiss and he told me he liked me. On our 6th, we went to 3rd base (I initiated) and he slept over. I asked if he was seeing anyone else. He said he wasn't, so I asked if we were exclusive. He hesitated before replying "I guess." I asked why he replied that way and he explained we technically were exclusive, since we haven't been seeing others, but in his mind exclusive = official and he's not completely ready for that yet. We've talked before about where we want to live long-term. I want to stay in our city, he's unsure if he wants to stay or move back home since that's where his family is. He's also unsure if any openness he has to staying is solely because he wants to keep seeing me. He's started to worry that in a year or so, he'll decide to move back and will have wasted both our time. I shared my POV, which is that we can't make any decisions on a "maybe" since so many things can change. He agreed he was likely overthinking. He's just had bad breakups in the past and doesn't want another one, so he's been thinking about worst case scenarios and needs time to clear his mind. He promised he wouldn't drag it on for too long and reiterated he likes me, he likes what we have and where it's going.
This was a couple weeks ago. I didn't know how to feel about it, but since then things have escalated. We still haven't had PIV sex, but he's been asking to see me twice a week (we were meeting once a week before). He's also started texting a little more, despite claiming to hate texting. We just had our 10th date over the weekend. He left for a business trip right after and has been texting. I'm finding myself wondering if we are going to become official soon or not. His actions are telling me we are, but I'm worried about the whole him potentially moving thing. How should I approach this?
