Is my fwb catching feelings or am I reading into it too much

Y’all I need some insight from people other than my friends on this situation, I feel like they’re just telling me what I want to hear😂

So, I got out of a long term relationship in November, and waited until February before having sex with someone new (best choice ever.) this man lives 1700 miles away but is here for work. I only really expected it to be a one time thing. He was so sweet, and so gentle with me too. We cuddled before and after, he kept complimenting me, it was really just the best sex I could’ve asked for after a heartbreak. Anyways, after that he waited a few days but then reached back out. The convo’s can be pretty dry but that’s beside the point. Then we started hanging out and having sex more often. We’ll show each other new music and just talk for hours before and after the deed. We’ll always cuddle too. Then, things started getting more intimate. Hand holding during sex, lots and lots of eye contact, lots of talking during it.

We both talked about our dreams and where we want to live, go figure, in the same state. Which I’ll actually be moving to soon (hint, it’s Montana, this is important for later)

Well, the other day, I told him I was offered a position out there, and I was likely going to take it, and we hadn’t really talked much of it after that. We hung out later that night, and he randomly asks me if he can play a song in my car, I oblige, and the song is “Meet Me in Montana” which is a duet, about this “couple” who part ways to pursue their dreams, realize it’s not what they want, and come back to Montana to be together. That just really made me think like “ok does this mean something or???”

He also started adding heart emojis in our texts, and adding extra letters to the ends of words. Also he “asked me” to be his valentine, but literally he said his coworker asked him to be his, I said none of my coworkers asked me to be theirs, and he said, and I quote “well you can be mine😅” BUT THEN DIDNT ANSWER FOR LIKE 24 HOURS AFTER I SAID YES LOL. But then I mentioned how I’m going to the state he lives in for vaca w my friends, and he said he’s going to be back down there around that time and to come watch one of his shows if he’s doing any when we’re down there.

So I’m definitely getting mixed signals, we’ve hooked up probably like 6-8 times in the past few weeks, and my friends think he spooked himself by catching feelings, especially because we’re about to probably never see each other again since he’s going back home once his job is finished up here. And I definitely don’t have the balls to ask bc what if he’s just being nice and he’s like that w all of the other women he hooks up with.

We just have a lot in common and want the same things in life and connect really well. I’m trying not to catch feelings because I don’t want to get hurt, even though I know I will be sad once he goes back home. But no expectations = no feelings hurt right?

So sorry this is so long
