Need Advice. What's Going On With Him?

I thought we were just friends with benefits but now I'm confused by how he's acting. Okay so he kind of wanted to date me but I screwed up now he says he doesn't want anything with me but he now he's acting weird. I live 2 hrs away FYI (I used to live in his city and all my friends are there so I go there almost every weekend to see them and if I have time I'll see him too). He asks for me to spend the night quite a bit lately.He was going through something and asked me to come over to keep his mind off of things and we just chilled while he laid in my lap and I rubbed his head, no sex, he tried I said no, then later I tried then he told me no so I just slept over. I left the next morning, he calls that night to ask me to come back I said no but I'd let him know when I would be back in town. Days later before I get a chance to even talk to him he calls and ask me when I'm coming back said I wasn't sure and but then he asked, then insisted that I come that night.

He is supposed to go out but instead for whatever reason stays in with me and we fall asleep cuddling, me sleeping on his chest. I stay until 4 pm the next day, leave and hours later he calls me and asks me to come back and see him before he goes out, I was with my friend and said I couldn't. He goes out that night he texts me drunk and says "come to me" then starts calling me to come over I say no then he starts saying how I need to come over "because I just want to hold you as I fall asleep" then asked "wait, are you with that guy right now. I'm getting pissed, you're my girl" then said that he wanted me to go to church with him the next day and is still asking for me to come see him but I still couldn't come over. The next morning he texts me saying he wants me to go to church with him so I go (first time going with him) afterwards I say that I'm leaving and he pretty much starts begging me to stay saying he didn't want me to hang out just for 30 min just for me to leave and for me to stay. He says "I thought you wanted to spend more time together, I'm trying to and now you don't that's f*cked up". He tells me not to leave but to but do my work there instead so I could spend the night so I stay for a bit and he makes dinner, he tries to have sex I say no because I kind of was in a funky mood all day and he just asking me what was wrong said he wanted to know and that he could talk to me and then pulled me to him and he held me for a while and he kept asking me to spend the night again but decided to go home.

I'm confused, this doesn't seem like typical fwb behavior at least to me it doesn't. He gets jealous of other guys that I talk to. He keeps asking about this one guy in particular, tries to look into my phone, got mad because I was sending another guy a Snapchat while he was there, said "hmm you have a lot of guy friends". We even held hands (even though he was drunk) but he doesn't like to kiss much anymore which is throwing me off. My friends say they would never ask their fwb to go go to church with them, or ask their fwb to come over when they're down, and keep asking to see so much. He wants to know when I'm quitting my job (I'm trying to move up there).Even asked when he comes to my city do I want for him to see me (I said no because I just wasn't feeling how things were with us at the moment) They think he wants to be with me but is just being guarded right now because of how I kind of messed up things before and he doesn't trust me (when were initially dating a few months in, not exclusively, he found out that I was seeing 3 other guys in addition to him not sleeping just dating then backed off quite a bit), so he's proceeding with caution should I say. Does he truly see me as fwb or does he want more just not trying to get attached/being guarded? What's up with the lack of kissing thing? What's this guys deal?

we met in November but I didn't have sex with him until March

He sounds a bit demanding to be honest, wanting you to come to him all the time, calling early hours isn't good either, sounds like he wants company/sex but isn't prepared to commit. I'd want to know what his intentions are before your feelings get hurt.

"Good morning Vicar! I'd like to introduce my fuck buddy!" Hmm

He very obviously sees you as belonging to him exclusively. I'm not going to say he loves you because from what you say he wants to own you and control you, not have a partnership with you. At the very least he has no idea of boundaries.

I would bin him off now to avoid further hurt.

mojones1990 · 09/04/2015 18:50

No he doesn't call me early in the morning. He asks me during regular hours...3 PM, 6 PM, 11 AM, etc. Here's the thing he said he wanted more with me and thought we were working on being exclusive at one point but I kind of shot him down in a way and publicly at that then that's when he said FWB. So I'm sure I just hurt his ego. So I thought we were strictly fwb but he's starting to act like he did before all of this. And wanting me to go to church with? How odd is that? lol

I didn't read the whole thing sorry but if he likes you as more than a fuck buddy then you aren't just a fuck buddy. Fwb is often an excuse for one person to keep another at arms length emotionally.

I'm not sure about the rest, but What's up with the lack of kissing thing? What's this guys deal? I'd say, he was trying to protect himself and to avoid seeing it as a relationship. I'd guess he was getting attached and is aware he isn't handling it that well.

Do you really have 4 men in your life at the moment? Congratulations (although it must be exhausting even if you're only physical with one)!

mojones1990 · 09/04/2015 22:39

No I was casually dating four other guys at first lol. Like getting drinks, going to dinner, etc. no sex involved. Ah that's why he's lightened up on the kissing. So you think he want's more huh?

Does he ever come to you?

AnyFucker · 10/04/2015 10:04

how do you find the time to do all this overthinking and pissing around ?

MiniTheMinx · 10/04/2015 11:01

You don't say anywhere what you want from this situation or how you feel about him. What do you want?

I think he really liked you but is insecure, I think the lack of kissing is probably due to him feeling that it's too intimate and he could start to get hurt, either that or you have developed halitosis! Seriously though, you knocked him back, he is trying to hold onto his pride but he clearly can't get enough of you.

Rather than asking us, why don't you ask him. But before you do, be very clear in your own mind what you want and be honest with him.
