Hey all, I hope this is the right channel for this,

English is not my first languages, so sorry for bad spelling and grammar.

So i met this man through friends and we hit it of quite well. We both stated at the beginning that we dont want a relationship, so we just had casual sex when we met up through friends. We also play games online and talk a lot. But lately his behavior changed, i ask him over last month and we watched a movie, cuddled and held hands the whole evening, he went home after that. Then we didnt do something for while until we met up with some friends and had casual sex again. Last weekend I ask him if he would like to do something together and he was really reluctant. After I ask some questions and he told me he didnt know what he wanted in the moment, but that he does not want to bond with me in a romantic way. He also said he was afraid i fell in love with him, which i havent and I told him that. It confuses me that he cuddled and held hands with me (which he initiated) as well as called me super cute, sent me heart emojis and stuff like that and now does not want to spent time with me at all. I really want to establish a good friendship with him, with or without continuing with casual sex, but I dont really know how I should behave now if not even he knows what he wants. I dont even know where the problem is.

Do you have any insights or tips for a confused woman?
