What’s the difference between this and a girlfriend?

What is this pulse check you speak of? I brought it up first…I’m like yo, what’s your intention? And he said “casual dating for now, maybe more in the future”. I’m not counting on it. He does work a lot but I get it and I am already working with him on days and times that work for both of us.

We cuddle, we go on legitimate days—on our date days he tries to start them as early as possible so we can spend most of the day together. And I mean there hasn’t been a day since we met we haven’t text one another. He asked me to stay the night once and I did and the next morning he wanted to go get breakfast and stuff. I had to go home but it’s just fucking weird. I’ve had “just sex” before and I can tell when it’s just sex. There’s not a whole lot of kissing and usually no cuddling but he’s mostly cuddling and very affectionate even when we don’t have sex. This week he wanted to hang out twice instead of our usual once (he lives in the city and I live more towards the outskirts) and I’m like what. What do you want?! Today I said no for the first time. That’s part of the girlfriend package, damn it. He’s got the free subscription with commercials right now.

We have talked about our feelings and he likes me and I like him. I straight up asked if he was having a sex with other people and he said no and we agreed to keep communicating openly and check up from time to time.

What do you think? And how about you? Have you talked to the other person about defining the relationship? I feel like these “situationships” are more common than not now a days, unfortunately. I’m not sure I want commitment either but shit, we are already doing all the things. If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it might be a fucking relationship already!
