Is my mind having a meltdown?

Okay this is one of those things that just confuses me!

If you are in a 'fun bud' relationship with a guy, who knows you care about him more than casual, are these things normal behaviour or is he showing that he cares when he can't actually say it because hes the 'i don't share my feelings with people easily' type?:

1. He strokes your back or leg when watching TV or are just lying together

2. He holds your coat for you to put it on

3. He picks you up in the air unexpectedly to kiss you before you leave and then gently puts you down

4. He pretends to hit you jokingly when you are winding him up playfully

5. He lets you come round even when he is really really tired

6. He asks you to text him to let him know you got home even though you only live about 5 minutes away by walking and you are in your car

7. He looks you in the face and then quickly kisses you without warning and then kisses you about ten times quickly

It might be me having a mind meltdown but i'm not one for casual fun relationships so i don't know what's normal and what isn't!!

any ideas anyone?

Some men in FWB relationships are very polite, mannerly, affectionate and cover you with kisses and squeeze you with hugs and make you feel like you are very special. But, many of these men only want this and no more and they don't love you. You need to claify this with him immediately or you might be setting yourself up for a big, bad hurt. I hope he care a great deal for you.

thanks everyone. I know you said i am lucky to have someone care as much as he does but i don't know if he does thats the thing! since we are just 'friends with benefits' and hes does keep what we are doing a secret but i guess time will tell. i just dont want to waste my time again on him.

when i ask him he says he cares as a mate or he sayds i'm not answering your silly questions right now. either way he avoids answering it really because when i challenge the mate thing he says fine then end it and i will care about you just as a mate. he avoids the serious conversations unless hes ready because it means him opening up.

thanks that really helps a lot. he does drive me insane with him ignoring texts and things but i refuse to give up on him when everyone is telling me to because i really do love him in an odd way even though hes far from perfect and everyone tells me i can do better. Well my friends anyway because he is keeping us being just 'buds' a secret from everyone else for whatever reason. he might not tell me he cares but its the things he does that confuse me as to whether he does or not! Men!

terrifenby agony aunti think you are very lucky to have some one thats cares about you as much as he does! personally i think you should sit down with him and discuss how you both feel and take it from there! you sound like a very lucky lady and you would be mad to let this one go! but remember to have fun and go with the wind

I cannot comment on his mothers manners because sometimes i wonder!

he isn't the gentleman type really, he always says he doesn't tell me he cares etc because its pillow talk and he finds it all too mushy. typical man!

it doesnt sound like one but he could just be a very affectionate person. if you really wanna know how he feels be honest and ask him at least you will know where you stand.

wow i wish i had a man like that! hun i think the best bet is to ask him. that way you are being honest and open with him. thing is dont pester, if he says no then just be casual (also he may not be telling the whole truth - you know what men are like when feelings are in the convisation). dont let your feelings spoil what could grow into a proper relationship. good luck - XxxX
