Friends with benefits or something more?

So, me and my ex bf have been doing the whole "friends with benefits" thing.. And I don't really know what to think now. I'll tell you a bit about our history first.

We've always kind of had a thing for each other, for the past 5 years. We dated a year ago but never had sex. He broke it off after his friend died and I just think he couldn't handle being in a relationship.. However, people were telling me it was because I wouldn't "put out". But, who knows.

A year later and we are "seeing each other" again. He doesn't want to be in a relationship with me because he says that he has a busy next couple of months coming up.. And when we dated before things were intense. Like, every day/every other day we would see each other. I am fine with that. I just like being around him. He told me that he doesn't want to see anyone else. Or do anything with anyone else other then me.

ANYWAYS, for the past month things have been very casual. I finally had sex with him and we hook up, get drunk, hang out as friends, etc. But, recently, he has been more.. emotional almost. He is starting to hold my hand when we are around people, our friends, and when we are driving he puts his hand on my leg and what not. Almost like how things were when we were dating.. But, without the title. Things however, ARE different. Anyways, what do you think he is thinking? I have no idea. Do you think he really cares about me? Do you think he just wants me to stick around because i'm an "easy fuck"?
