...and doesn't like the term overweight because it implies there is a weight i should be.
I have said the same thing for the same reason.

However, he is so clean cut and I think the idea of anything "fetishistic" would horrify him. But I'm dying to explore it.
Clean cut people have fetishes too. Fetishes can be a secret expression of interests and likes we can not express (sometimes for good reason) in everyday life. I'm generally regarded as pretty clean cut. I don't smoke, drink or swear. I dress respectable and treat others with respect and courtesy. I'm known as the "Gentle Giant" and the "Lovable Teddybear". Even my closest friends and family would never suspect I have some of the interests and fetishes I do. In fact, with some, they would come to my defense and deny it if someone were to accuse me of them. So, in the area of fetishes, erotic interests and other socially awkward or unacceptable interests, we can make no assumptions what so ever about someone, no matter how well we think we know them. :-)
It is possible though, that he has never been exposed to this world and might genuinely deny liking it at first. That is why I suggest slow incremental steps by you to gradually introduce him - assuming his response is a positive one. It's an opportunity for you to be creative and have a little fun with him :-) Create opportunities for the topic to come up without you overtly bringing it up. For example, maybe if the two of you are having dinner at the table and its dessert time, you could put your arms behind your back in a prolonged stretch (which would also hint at being submissive or a captive) and then eye your dessert and comment how good it looks. And then maybe even look at it wistfully and say, "It's just going to go straight to my hips though, maybe I should skip it". He may do nothing, he may verbally encourage you, or he may pick up your fork and give you a bite. Even if he doesn't, you may have just tuned him on. You never know. It's also possible he likes bigger girls but has no interest in the gaining or feeding aspects.
I know you're eager to discuss it with him, but you don't want to weird him out but saying too much too soon. The more you can discover about him in this area, the more likely you will be able to know how and when to share this with him.
If he's stroking your stomach a lot, and naming different parts, I'd say he's at least a Fat Admirer. If he's promising to feed you treats even if you got obese... He may be a feeder too, even if he is unaware of the terms and labels. You definitely need to explore it with him, but slowly and carefully. :-)
