There comes a time in an FWB or Friends with Benefits relationship where a curiosity sets in.

You have slept with him long enough that he is familiar with you.

Not only familiar with your body, but with your personality too.

In asking about a guy you are dating, there is a curiosity factor in regards to getting a read on who you like to date.

He is curious about the type of guy that excites you enough to consider making him a boyfriend.

Does this mean that your FWB is interested in you romantically?

It’s possible.

The first step in ascertaining this is in how often he asks about the guy you are dating.

If it only occurs once, chalk it up to nothing more than curiosity.

On the other hand, when an FWB asks you multiple times at separate occasions about a guy you are dating, he is showing much stronger signs of being interested in you romantically.

Instead of coming right out with telling you that he wants the sexual relationship to transition into one of romance, he is gathering information.

In consistently asking you about a guy you are dating, he wants to get a read on how your time with him is transpiring.

He wants to know how serious it is.

Are you completely taken by this guy, seeing him as a potential boyfriend, or not?

At the same time, he is obtaining clues as to the type of men you are prone to taking seriously in terms of a serious long-term relationship.

To further cement the likelihood that he is romantically interested in you, observe his behavior.

There is a probability that he adopts the behaviors of the guy you are dating, based on the information you have shared about him.

For instance, he begins to call you a pet name, having learned that the guy you are dating calls you a pet name.

All of a sudden, he is calling you a pet name as he is kissing you or holding you close.

That is something he has never done, and he suddenly is.

That is unusual, but it doesn’t stop there.

He cooks for you.

That never used to happen either.

You are used to showing up at his place and getting right to the sex after a few verbal exchanges.

Yet, instead of diving right in to the sex, he tells you to make yourself comfortable as he is almost done cooking you dinner.

Not long before this, you told him that the guy you are dating is a great cook and loves to cook for you whenever you are at his place.

All of a sudden, your FWB is cooking for you out of nowhere.

Basically, when an FWB is regularly asking you about a guy you are dating, and adopting the behaviors of said guy in how he interacts with you, he has made a transition.

He no longer sees you as purely an FWB, he sees you as a serious relationship prospect.
