What is our relationship status?

I’ve been seeing this man for about 6 months now. We met through online dating. He is a very smart, confident, hardworking man, and a good father to his son. Those are the reasons that I am attracted to him.

I’ve asked him 3 times where we stand in our relationship but he doesn’t want to make it official yet. He claims, he’s waiting for a sign. This really frustrates me but I don’t like to force anything so I let it go.

I understand his trust issues because his ex wife got pregnant by another man while he was at the war (he is also a veteran still dealing with ptsd) and his last 2 serious relationships turned toxic. He likes to hang out with me all the time, and likes to FaceTime when we’re not together to talk about our day.
