Multiple dates he hasn't made a real move

I matched a guy on a dating site and turns out he works at the extreme sports place I attend a few days a week.

I won’t mention which sport. However it entails coaching and being on site for 5-7 hours.

We agreed we’d have a coffee and he flirted a little over text after we first met. Due to work I didn’t have a date with him for 2-3 weeks. During this period we worked together on sports activities. He comes across confident at work, but one on one less so it seems, now I get to know him.

During the 3 weeks he’d sit close to me where possible, hands and arms touching, lots of eye contact or we would sit and chill together. He doesn’t spend this time with other girls and I don’t with any other staff.

We went out last week and he came to my house, we cooked food and laid on the couch, he would cuddle me, hold my hand but didn’t try any kissing. We slept in the same bed, again cuddled up and he held my hand and kissed me good night. The next day he said next time he would cook.

The next day I dropped him at work and he kissed me on the lips, not a French kiss but a hug and kiss.

We worked together again at the sports place and he text saying he enjoyed it and asked if I wanted to do something to do with our sport mid week. I said yes.

Yesterday we chatted and went out together to a local nature park, we got beers and laid on the grass for hours, then he had plans with friends from work (some who I’ve met before) for dinner, he invited me along and after kissed me goodbye in front of his friends then text goodnight when he got home.

Tonight, we drove for 2.5hours each way plus the activity. After I offered for him to stay at mine but it was midnight and he had work at 8am. So he asked to go home. Again he hugged and kissed me goodbye.

He mentioned us going there again together.

Again in the car there was moments of touching, like passing drinks, changing music, giving me food. Never grabbing my legs or anything like that, but just points where you wouldn’t need to touch someone but he did.

I’m just so confused. We’ve spent probably 70-100 hours in each others company 40% of that alone outside of the work / sports place

He seems very shy with making a big move, like he seems confident at work flirting, but when out in open space things like grabbing a hand or making any real moves doesn’t happen.

I don’t want to rock the boat by asking if we’ve been on dates or are we friends.

I’m just unsure why someone would meet you on a dating site and then continue to spend time with you like this and kiss you goodbye especially Infront of his friends from work etc.

What could be a good way to discuss it without making it awkward at our sports place ?
