Long story short. We started off as friends and have known each other since we were 11. I??m a Leo and he a Capricorn. Both of us are pretty guarded. We reconnected during a bad time for myself and a not so good time for him. We became super close and things led us to the bedroom. We became FWB. Yes, I knew and know what I was getting myself into. It has its moments when it??s tumultuous by both parties. Recently it??s been wonderful, but here is the catch, we took sex out of the equation. Yes, it bothered me thinking he was sleeping with other women, but I was spending so much time with him and wasn??t sleeping with him, that I figured it wasn??t a big deal (it had been 2-3 months). Whoever she is or was, assuming she exists, she was nothing more than ???outlet?? because he literally spends every free time (little with working so much ??? yes career is EVERYTHING to my cap with big dreams) with me. In fact, I kind of look forward to his busy times, because then I??m able to do what I need to get done. Anyway, lately he??s wanting even more time from me. I read somewhere that time is important to caps and that if they spend it with you, it??s one of their languages of love. In the beginning we always stayed home. Now, he??s wanting to go out to dinner, visit job sites (he builds homes ??? which I truly do love and take an interest in), shopping at stores and hints to wanting to go over to my house (yes, I haven??t invited him over ??? it??s complicated but I figure he??s private so let this be my private thing). My question is this: Should I be worried? Does he want more? He says he doesn??t and hints that he??s happy with the way things are. Oh and a couple of weekends ago we slept together. It had been a while and I caved. It was awesome as usual. He??s also starting to show signs of jealousy which happened early on as well, but that??s natural. It may not have anything to do with having feelings for me, but just gets to him when he wants my time and I??m spending with someone else. He tends to this if he is aware that someone else is interested in me. I don??t lie to him. I??m open with him. I do love him, but I don??t want to dream too much, because when a man says he doesn??t want to commit, he means it, I??m just having trouble with what??s going in his mind. Advice?

What do YOU want out of this?
I don't know what I want. :/ I wanted something more about a year ago (oh yeah we've been whatever this is for 2 years). When I realized it wasn't going to be anything more and that I actually wasn't ready for a relationship (still not) then I was good with it.
Now he's brushing his hand against my face in the morning. Wanting to do more and spend more time. The jealousy becoming more apparent (that I don't like). Now I'm just sort of stunned. Maybe I'm reading into it. Maybe I have nothing to worry about. I just got comfortable over the last 5 months. I don't know that I want anything more anymore.
@ scorchedearth - Yeah I'm fine with that. I'm just wondering why he's coming in closer. I can feel it. I'm a dork. I actually logged Feb cause I thought I was freaking out over nothing and I've seen him everyday but 3 and talk to him everyday. I only did that, because I felt he was asking to spend too much time lately and guess what HE IS.
I can't keep up. I want some days to myself, but I'm afraid of pushing him away cause I love my best friend. Just not like this..I feel married. I just got divorced 2 years ago. :/ I can't breathe. So maybe I'm really wanting to know how to ask for space without pissing him off.
Lucciferi he's terrible at communicating. I guess so am I for posting this instead of talking to him. ha!
Seriously though, I feel I'm always having to read his mind. I'm going to just let things be, because what will be will be. Instead of worrying I'm just going to decline the invites if I can't make it and ignore the fear that he'll be upset if I decline. I'm not sure if it's a Capricorn trait, but he's such a punisher. I'm just going to not worry about it. If he needs something from me or has changed his mind then he will verbalize it just as he did when we agreed to FWB.
Thanks for helping guys!

He is trying to charm you. It is his last attempt before giving up. After this he will be in denial and give you the famous Capricorn treatment. Be Careful and tell him what you want and prepare for the outcome...
Time is a beautiful thing, when spent right, you feel loved. When spent wrong, you feel smothered. And when time is not appreciated, it gets taken away totaly...
