You just met.  You two are trying to figure the usual “are we compatible or not?” thing.  Actions speak louder than word, e.g. “he reassures me that it isn’t…

You don’t state your age but you did say that you are still finding yourself..

Great that you are wondering/asking the questions that you are asking….

My take (this is coming from a 50+ year old man who has been married) is that you have a sexual relationship and that may or may not be nothing more than that.

If you want more then you may want to stop that part of your relationship and catch up on the other aspects which you want (??), i.e. emotional, spiritual, etc. connection rather than the sexual one.

This way you know that this is what both of you want.

Basically, you need to figure out what you really want out of the relationship… whether it is purely sexual or something more.
