I think, maybe, this one is simply about the singer being in a relationship with a girl he doesn't love (and probably doesn't love him either). Maybe they aren't even attracted to each other. He isn't even sure if what the fooling around they might have done "counts". But he was just "going through the motions" to try and satisfy some desire to be in a relationship (and who he really wants is the "you" of the song).
