Hi,

I’ve been in a sort of friends with benefits situation on and off for two years, last weekend after not seeing him for six months he came round to my house he’s now left an item that he needs every day but hasn’t been back in contact. Am I fooling myself into thinking this time it’s different and he might want to date me or is it him just playing

You're basing your hopes of having a relationship with someone, who has stated that sex is all he wants from you, on the fact he's forgotten to pick up his charger (or similar)

Why would you do that? Do you not think a relationship should be built on clear communication, rather than secret 'Oh I've left a sock at yours, can I pop round for it (and to propose to you)?'

Sometimes the first person to respond to a post nails it so much that there is no need for anyone else to bother....

Why start a FWB if you clearly want more? Just asking for trouble

Rather than he’s just forgotten to pick it up and now doesn’t want to contact you in case you think it means something?
