    Turn down the sex and see if he remains a really “good guy“. Guys like this only seem great because you’re giving them what they want. When you stop giving him what he wants, he’ll get it from someone else. Try not to read more into the relationship or his actions. Woman get into trouble like that. See it for what it is. He likes you as a friend and you come with a bonus that he doesn’t have to work for. I don't want to sound negative but 2 years it a long time.

    If you even have to ask, the answer is "he's not that into you." He's already had as much of a relationship as he's willing to have with you (he gets to do whatever he wants and you can't be angry with him), and he's already had sex with you. There is nothing left for him now.

    This is totally going to be a rude and offensive comment but, men are not mysterious or confusing. They're so simple it hurts sometimes. I'm really sorry :frown: And I'm not bitter or a man-hater. In fact, I adore men because they're so simple. I'm just a woman with a lifetime of nothin' but guy-friends.

    I think he couldn't get another date for the casinos and he's horny. Your Birthday is a perfect way to get a little and he can look like a good guy by doing something for your birthday. That way you're still out there dangling on a string if he needs a future rematch.

    You are not making the rules in this relationship. Your only option is to play or not to play.

    Opt out. You can do better.

    Listen to this man. He is a smart one!

    If all you want is to be the "go to" girl, then that's fine. Nothing really wrong with that as long as you are comfortable with it. You're both adults here, but don't expect anything more from this guy... ever.

    Ditto... my guess is that he was seeing someone else. it didn't work out so why not schmooze you on your birthday and keep you dangling..... Have you ever seen the movie "He is just not that into you?" You can do SOOOOOOO much better girl!!

    He had/has another lady so he walked away from you,when that didn`t work out he wanted to get his FWB back.
    If you are cool with this then have at it but sounds like you want more.
    Tell him outright and if he says no then walk away and don`t look back.
    You will only be miserable and you deserve better.

    You read my mind...
