Please help me figure this out and possible help me find a way to bring this up with him. So I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month now. We met online, he was the first one to suggest meeting in person. Our first date was great and we ended the night with a hug. He was the one who asked to see me again and I said yes. Two dates later, we have our first kiss. The other dates after that, we have sex. He hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend. At first I was worried he just wanted me for sex, but I don’t think that’s the case.

He will always tell me how cute or how pretty I am. He wants to actually hang out, not just fool around. I get forehead kisses and he always wants to cuddle. I don’t know what I am to him.

I want to be his girlfriend. After being in an abusive relationship, it would be wonderful to be with a guy as sweet as him. I don’t know what to do. How do I bring this up to him without scaring him off?
