Thread: What is this?

I've liked this guy I mainly speak to online for years now. I've met up with him before and saw him about 2 months ago and had a great time. We've been talking more and more via text and talk for 4 hours on Skype some nights.
Whenever I've been single he's been dating someone and vice versa, but now we're both single. He's always been flirty and jokey with me - pretty much no boundaries to what we discuss!
The other day he stayed in town with his friend who has just moved to the country and on the last night we all went out together and they stayed at my house. When we were out I overheard his friend (gay guy) asking him if he thought I was sexy since he strokes my hair, hugs me, touches my bum cheekily etc. when we're out. He said yes.
Back at my house I showed them to their beds and he beckoned me into his for a cuddle. It started off just as a cuddle but he started kissing my neck. Pretty soon he was in my bed and we were kissing and fooling around. He said I was beautiful and special and other lovely things. Nothing more than that happened and we cuddled until we fell asleep.
The next day just he and I went shopping and throughout the day he put his arm around my waist, touched my hair etc. but no kissing. He's called and texted since he left, but I miss him!
I know he won't ever sleep with anyone unless he's in love with them, and I certainly wasn't expecting it, but I guess my question to ask is whether it seems like he's just taking things slowly and seeing how it goes, or whether it seems like he wanted a one off?!
I'm useless with reading how men feel about me and have been in a tizzy ever since. He makes my head spin around in an excellent way and I need external opinions!
