We were having great hookups and had tested the authenticity of the Kamasutra till that point.
However, unknowingly what started as an FWB slowly changed into something more than late-night booty calls and I am grateful for it!
Although it wasn’t instant, but the subtle hints from his subconscious side were always there. All I had to do in my case was pay attention to it.
A short story that you might relate to
It all started at a mixer party we were drunk and single at that time. what do you expect from two young and carefree souls equally attracted to each other? If you are thinking about hook up and steamy sex then cheers mate that’s what originally happened.
After that, we were catching up twice or thrice a month which changed to once a week pretty quickly because voila he was good in bed. Further, unknowingly we ended up chatting, talking, and doing things that we don’t usually do with hookup partners.
There were signs but we were stupid none of us could detect them until I was on my period and he was cooking soup for me. If your fuck buddy does that too then just a secret you aren’t just an FWB to him anymore!
13 Signs your Hookup Has Caught Feelings For You:
Although distinguishing affection from love can be quite confusing with a closer look, you can easily tell the difference. So, next time pay attention to these signs which can indicate that your hookup has feelings for you:
1. He stays for the night
If a guy thinks of you as just a hook up then he won’t really invest his mornings in you. But if he stays in for the night and makes bed tea for you, it's a sign he loves to be with you. This initial desire to be with each other can indicate that he might want more than a great night!
2. You guys go to movies together
A hookup scene doesn’t really go out of the bedroom. In my initial dating stage, our interaction included a small talk and great nights only. However, after a while, we started going to movie theatres and midnight ice creams as well.
These outings are a clear sign of the transformation and evolution of the bond between you two. If he is always hyped up about exploring places and having adventures with you. This obviously means that he loves spending time with you.
3. He wants to know more
Is he always hyped up when you talk nerdy and is always there to clap for the little achievements? If this sounds similar then you are more than just a hookup buddy to him.
If he tries to indulge in your hobbies and is always curious then this could be a big sign. Usually, his interest in your hobbies might indicate that there’s care beneath the sheets.
4. He texts and calls
If you and your hookup buddy are texting and tagging these days then girl things might be changing. The urge to stay connected with each other is natural if he feels something special for you.
Furthermore, if you find yourself waiting for his texts or are constantly sharing funny memes as well. This can be a sign to take things up to the next level.
5. He wants you to meet his friends
If he always asks you out for barbeques at his bestie’s place or invites you to group outings then this can be a sign. Friends are a big part and a guy will let you around them only when he feels like you are special in some way. So, if you laugh around and have group outings with him often then you are on the right track.
