I'm a very regular poster but I've name changed for this because my back story will out me.
So I had a ONS with a guy I instantly felt a connection with in November. I was in a very bad place due to a previous relationship and couldn't handle anything else. He asked me out on a date but we both screwed it up by communicating badly so it never happened.
Fast forward to 8 weeks ago and we hooked up again and this time have had a series of weekend and midweek dates. I thought he just wanted a FWB situation so have been having a lot of fun and have had no expectations. But recently there are a couple of things that have happened that have made me think he's more into me than a FWB. We have never discussed us or categorised us as anything. Anyway these are the things tha I have taken are signs;
He picked me up from the airport (a 3 hour round trip) knowing there was no chance of a shag because I had to get my dc's, he offered and I gave him repeated chances to get out of it but he did it
He spent from Friday to Monday morning with me over bank holiday weekend when dc's with their dad.
His best friend told my friend (I know how teenage this sounds!) that he never has girlfriends so he must be into me
We have arranged to go stay at my friends house and see a band next month
We have talked about taking a trip abroad together.
He was miffed and went very quiet when another guy asked me out on a date when we were in the pub together.
So I'm thinking that we are moving away from FWB to maybe a (albeit casual?) relationship and if we do this I want to establish a few boundaries, like better communication between us (it can be a few days between messaging and we can get our wires crossed with plans) and to state that I wouldn't want either of us to sleep with anyone else because of STD's. Do I sound a bit single white female? I can not imagine starting this convo without it sounding a bit weird tbh! I do really like him, im not looking for a long term commitment at all, but I do want a respectful arrangement between us IYSWIM. Then again i dont want to scare him off. Help!! Sorry it's so long.

When do I have 'the talk' about moving from FWB to gf/bf?
