I’m not sure how to read his emotions. Please help

He’s been my best friend for over a year now and now he left his girlfriend and has been on his own for a month and a half. I’ve been staying the night with him here and there. The other night in bed he looks over at me and asks “ why do you do everything you do for me?” And I told him “because you’re my best friend and I enjoy myself around you, I care about you and I try and show that in everything I do” he then asks “would you still drive the 30 mins to not have sex when we hung out? To just spend time with eachother?” and I was shocked but said “of course I would. I don’t come over for the sex, I come over for you. The second is just a perk” and then he said alright, cuddles me and falls asleep& idk how to interpret his emotions. The next day he sends me these messages

Like last week he did make it a point to say that he didn’t want me being with anyone else but him sexually & he said he wouldn’t be with anyone but me but I didn’t know how to interpret that either lol I’m having a rough time figuring out his emotions and was curious to other people’s input.

Yes. It’s very recent but throughout his whole relationship I’ve just been his best friend but one day he sat me down and told me he was leaving her, had his own apartment the next week & everything. I know he’s not wanting a relationship right now but he seems to be making these small moves closer to something but he’s not trying to rush it. But if I ask about it he just gets shy.

I just reread this. He has been on his own only for a month & a half? That’s very soon to be trying to get back into a relationship. Definitely take your time with him.

I just don’t understand why he can’t tell me that & let’s go for it. He seems scared of it and I feel like he’s been trying to fight it but can’t. I respect anything that he may want. Just don’t understand why he won’t tell me directly what he wants.

I think he might be wanting more.. I’d be very cautious though.. he has not that long ago come out of a relationship.. u don’t want to be a rebound.. next time u have a talk.. just ask him how he feels and what’s happening with u two. If he’s vague and doesn’t answer then he’s just wanting sex.. but if he cares he will tell u.. I think he already does.

Well I’m seeing a red flag.. he said he’s not ready for a relationship.. I know u said u see all the signs but when he tells u that.. u should listen.. if I’m honest I don’t think u should hook up.. I feel ur already getting hurt by this.. I know u say he says it’s ur choice but he knows he doesn’t want a relationship so in a way.. he knows how ur feeling.. he’s using u.

He tells me how much I mean to him and he’s told me he has feelings for me. He did just get out of a relationship yes, and that’s where I think my doubt is coming from. I’m seeing all these signs that he’s wanting more, but when I ask he says he’s not ready for a relationship. I know it’s not about the sex though, he lets me determine when we have sex, we don’t just have booty calls lol
