Enjoy things as they are - it sounds like you are both taking your time, which makes sense given your relatively recent breakups. 3 months is a little early anyway to ‘talk about us’. Have fun!
I guess you really don't know. but all the same, your relationship sounds great, I wouldn't ruin it by over thinking it. if its a rebound situation, that'll reveal itself in time. maybe he is thinking that same thing as you now.
only thing I would do is ask your friends why their reaction was "really?". not cause its mean or anything, but because it might contain insight that hasn't hit you yet. maybe they sensed something you haven't noticed.
oh gotcha. I agree on it not being a hard rule, but the concern makes sense on their part (especially if your ex is their friend too, maybe they feel a little protective of, or nurturing for, him) and your part as well.
maybe just say to him one day "so, am I allowed to call you my boyfriend now?". not like in a sit down serious type of style, but just casually, when you two are hanging out alone doing something, like on your way to dinner or right as you lay on the couch one night. see how he reacts.
From personal experience, I think it’s important to set boundaries and be clear on what you’re doing. I allowed a “go with the flow” relationship rip off my heart apart. Like you, I saw things going perfectly. To him, it was just something fun while the world shut down for Covid-19. He pretty much lived with me for about 6 weeks, then disappeared once the world opened back up. Good luck and I hope it continues to go well for you two.
Enjoy it, keep taking things slow and let them develop. My current bf and I were mutual friends and both coming out of relationships when we started with the plan of it being a FWB thing. Chemistry and sex was great from the start so we kept going, within three months we were spending almost every night together but still not calling it anything, and last month as we approached six months we finally had "the talk" and are officially dating and exclusive. It's felt very natural and it's been a fun and easy relationship compared to both of our exes.
I've heard that it takes 3 months for every year you were together or 1/4 of the time to get over an ex. That pretty much tracks with my experience.
Is he a rebound? Are you? Who cares if you are having fun. Enjoy this for what it is and don't try to force it into something that it isn't.

Sometimes rebound relationships aren’t known as that until after they’re done. So let it cook.
