This is kind of like saying you don't want people to tell you that jumping off a high cliff is dangerous. So why bother to ask for advice if you don't want to hear the truth?

This is what exes are supposed to be good for. They are all broken in and stuff. LOL

Seriously... we can't answer your question, only he can. But you bringing it up doesn't mean you have to look like you are the one wanting anything. Just be honest. "Hey, are you starting to catch feelings again? I don't want that" or if that is too blunt for you, how about just making a joke next time he wants to chat?: "Why are you calling me to talk? (insert chuckle) Don't you get all gooey on me, I'm here for the bootay!"

I think what you really have to get comfortable with is the idea that having this conversation may lead to the end of the easy sex buddy arrangement. Look at it this way: if it does... oh well, it was fun while it lasted! 'Tis better to have gotten some for a while than to get none at all.

So... you want a casual relationship. But you don't want to tell him that because you think he'll think you want something more?

Abandon ship or sleep in the grave you've dug.

Yeah, I made those comments when he called. He cooled it for a couple weeks.

What is concerning me is he has started calling me just to chat, during our last hook up he asked me to look into his eyes. I feel like it's starting to become more for him and I don't want that, but I don't want to bring it up either because I don't want him to think that's what I'm looking for.

Am I reading into this?
It can't be simple. People have feelings. And they can't turn them off whenever necessary. Some people like others more and some like them less. You can never predict. FWB sounds tricky to me. Probably, one of them always falls for the other more.... Or at least probably in many cases...
