I asked him and he said "we are taking things slowly, which is good." I was just wondering what you people think he means by this. When my three-year-old son is naughty he always says to him, "You need a man around the house, son," and he always looks at me and grins. What do you think he means by this? Is it just a figure of speech or is it something more? thank you Reply to this Question

Maybe he sees this as you trusting him and wanting him in your life. Next time he makes a comment re needing a man around the house or similar, I would agree and say, yea we both do and try and get him to open up by asking if he's offering.
These type of relationships dont usually develop but there are always exceptions.

 Ask him what he means by that comment, that's the only way to know for sure.

Maybe next time he says something like that you can try to play into it and hint back that you're open to something more (assuming you are since you're posting here). If he's receptive to that and sees that you're interested he may bring it up. If not, but he responds favorably then it might be a good time for you to bring up the topic.

 It sounds to me that he wants to be with you. I'm not going to lie this is very rare but it does seem that he has feelings for you outside the the fwb.
I think you can see something with him too if you have him around your son like that.
I would talk to him and ask him if he means taking things slow before entering into a relationship or not. I mean it would make sense since you do have a child to slowly bring this guy into your life. I am thinking that is what he is thinking.
