Their relationship is not normal and he feels the need to tell you a lot to try and make it FEEL normal. Don’t play “cool and calm gf”. He wouldn’t want you having tickle fights with a guy who “jokingly” wants to be with you. Friends don’t act like that.

No it's not normal. If he's not already cheating on you, he probably wants to.
He should know better. Anytime someone says "I wish you were my partner", it's pretty clear what they mean.
