Is he a good guy?

Hi,

Just need some opinions. My good friend is dating a guy who she really likes and admires. They have been seeing each other for about 2 months now and they contact each other everyday and are physically involved. The problem is she was married in the past and has three kids of her own. He has never been married and has no kids, he is in his mid 30's and so is she and from what she tells me is a good catch. She asks me for advice and I tell her what I think, but I am just not so sure. They got intimate on their 2nd date on, and she wants something serious but doesn't say anything because she is afraid she will scare him off. She says that he is a very polite gentlemen, however he has not said anything about wanting a relationship nor has he brought up the subject. When she says stuff like "I think about you all the time", he replies with comments like "your making me feel bad" or "you are just being true to your feelings". Is he just using my friend or could he actually want something later and is just hesitating cause she has kids and all the extra baggage? On a separate but similar note, can a relationship start out with casual sex and end up being a meaningful relationship. Anyone have that happen to them. Thanks
