dating again sort of..a question

My ex and I split in Sept. We were together 3.5 years. In Dec. I became re aquainted with a casual aquaintance. He asked me on a date. We have spent a few hours a week either riding on his motorcycle or having tea at my house. He sends me romantic texts and hugs me each time he sees me. He also kisses me hello (closed mouth pecks) and goodbye. He has not made any other advances nor have we chatted about "us". He knows about my ex and knows I am struggling a little based on one issue he was privy to, otherwise I keep my personal stuff private. We basically have light chit chat..

I like him as a casual platonic friend..nothing more.

I am traveling for 3 weeks soon so will not see him but I wonder what to do..I think he is ga ga but there is no talk about anything..

What should I do if anything? I like his friendship...and his company just the way it is...

For reference, I still love and miss my ex but will not go back to him ..it's over..and I need time to heal. Hence why this friendship is nice for now..no rebound..no romance..just nice..but..

Light chit-chat sounds like just friends, but you can never be sure....take it one 'date' at a time.

I don't think there's anything you need to do.
