Are we fwb's (friends with benefits) or are we dating?

You are dating. He sounds like a really nice guy 2. He cares about u a lot, but doesn't want to seem like he is trapping u into a committed relationship, I think that's why he asked if u cud b falling 4 him instead of telling u honestly that he had fallen for you. I think wat is scaring for u is the distance thing, but u could make it work. If you do love him, go for it.
