Gay guy here. There's a guy I like, and am pretty close friends with. We probably spend more time with each other than either of us do with anyone else, and we both initiate hanging out, even though we may just spend so much time since we're used to hanging out a lot and I'm free all the time. We spend the night together and have sex sometimes too.

We aren't together though. I asked him a while ago (maybe like half a year ago) what he thought of dating. He said he wasn't sure he wanted to date anyone at the time. He'd just gotten out of a very long term relationship. He also was struggling a lot in that relationship with his ex's domineering and jealous personality.

I don't sleep with anyone else but him, or have feelings for anyone else. His feelings are less defined I guess, and he does sleep with other people. I worry sometimes that someone else will be more forceful than me about the whole dating thing and will win him over. He still seems to not want to date, but I know he also doesn't always have a spine. And he also might just mean he doesn't want to date me...

I guess my question is this: Is this just kind of normal for being single (esp. for gays) and finding someone you like and pursuing them? Honestly I'm ok with how things are, but I also feel a bit like a cuck and like maybe I should pursue a more 'real' relationship. What do you think?

Also, based on the very little I said, does it seem like he's into me or do you not believe the "I just don't want to get back into dating" line? We talk all the time and are pretty intimate, I think maybe I just value being in a closed relationship more maybe.
