What is this relationship?

As a Cancer, I've always been told that I should look for a Taurus. Well, I didn't find one until now. The Taurus and
I get along awesomely. The sex is amazing, the conversation is great, and we get along completely easily. We hang out every day, sleep together most nights, and it seems like a relationship. He's said he feels the same way about me.

But here's the thing; he said he doesn't want a relationship. He doesn't want to "label it." He even said that what we are in is just like a relationship, but we just aren't labeling it. He said that if we ever had any kind of relationship, it'd be open, which he described more or less as "involving threesomes" (and I'm OK with that, though that's not what I would describe an open relationship as.) So here's the deal -- why can't he label it? Why is it so hard for him to call something what it is instead of calling it something different and, I guess, hoping it turns out that way?

I'm the type of person that is changeable -- I can go either way with this. If it's a closed relationship, fine. If it's an open relationship, fine. If we're just friends with benefits, then OK. Just call it what it is! The thing I DON'T like is having what is essentially a traditional relationship called something different -- especially if I am being lead to believe I can sleep with other people (open relationship) because I feel that might just complicate things if he's pretending to not have the feelings he's expressing? Does that make sense?

I guess it's the Taurean stubbornness? I don't know what is up.

it has nothing to do with his being a taurus. this is classic. he doesn't want to put a label on it because he wants ease and flexibility to change. right now, he is treating you as his ace. it feels like a relationship because that's what he's treating it like. but make no mistake, there will come a time when your ace status changes. what once felt like a relationship, will move to FWB when you are invariably replaced by a new "Ace."

it is what it is and that's nothing. don't allow the snuggling to confuse you. he has told you what's what. you've accepted it. so in the upcoming weeks/months, try to avoid catching feelings. you may eventually have them. he won't.

see, i thought that, but at the same time was a bit unsure. i mean, i've been played and have played before -- but it took 4 months to get to this point. i was thinking, "why waste your time if you only want this for a little while?" oh well. i'm not attached at the moment and was thinking about cutting it off soon, but he's still fun. i didn't know if it was relevant to a trait or something.

yeah, but the trait isn't taurus. it's "immature man."

a man who doesn't like labels may indeed develop feelings for you on a primal level. he may be jealous/possessive. he may be attentive and affectionate. after all, he's spending time with you. if it's more than bedtime when you're together, how can he not develop some level of attachment? he's human after all. i think this is where the confusion sets in for most women.

he does like you. he is treating you like his ace boon coon. it does feel real. unfortunately, he told you at jump what he wanted and if for some reason his attention falls on someone else, if your "relationship" moves from fairytale to real like with stumbles, he may exercise his get out of jail free card. and it will he cold and it will hurt but it's no surprise.

so be careful. he's told you what the deal is and based on your question, you're already confusing things. it's much better to let this one go. it's not going to end well for you. a sexship/FWB situation requires detachment. the moment you start questioning what it is/aint...get out!
