Is FWB all she really wants? How could I encourage it to be more than that?

A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I met a woman on Halloween and we spent a couple of weeks having sex almost every day (I'm currently getting a divorce). 5 weeks into our 1st meeting on Halloween she was hinting on wanting things to be a FWB but I didn't catch on because I was having very strong and intense feelings for her (she had said about wanting us to date other people).

She had stopped wanting to date me and even wanting a possible FWB because I verbally flipped out at that time which got her friends and family involved because they were concerned for her well being.

Weeks had passed since that happened and she still wanted to see me. Even though she had concerns for her well being, I was able to admit why I flipped out and thankfully she is allowing me back into her life.

Recently things have been progressing in a strange way. I've been giving her space and have kept myself from getting intense with her which has been real helpful but a couple of weeks ago I found out that she is filing for divorce. She didn't want to tell me at the time because she did not want to be bothered with anyone, but I able to get her to agree to allow me over and granted we had sex, but I been showing her a lot of affection and care.

She had said before allowing me to come over that she doesn't know what she wants to happen with us (prior she would ask me what I wanted from her and saying that nothing could come from us being together).

She has been pressured by her family and friends to not see me anymore, but when I asked her if she did not want to talk to me anymore she said that she didn't want that and that I have been giving her affection.

Valentines day came and even though I couldn't get her something for that day, because I was watching over her house (which was a sign that the trust that I thought I seriously damaged is being repaired) she got me a card and we went out for dinner and when we got back to her place I told her in tears that I loved her but left it at that.

Now I know I cannot get intense with her and need to give her space and I know that she is going through the feelings of her ex and him leaving the state, and her supposed feelings for me, but what is really going on with this??

I enjoy being with her with or without sex and I know I can't read her mind but

I don't know if this is purely a FWB or could it be more??
