No. Not friends with benefits. (Wait...He frowns, looking down. Dirk Strider was never easy to deal with. Getting into a relationship with Jake had been a series of trial and error and mostly was the result of Dirk badgering him into a relationship. Dirk wanted to avoid that with K.)
That sounds...platonic and like I'm looking to scratch an itch.
(He presses his lips together, thinking how to word this.)
I know I want this. What I would like to do is take you on a few dates. (He can feel some heat prickling across his cheeks. He stares off-screen for a moment, frowning.) I would like to get to know you better. I would like for you to know me better.
(Hm. He looks back to the camera, his mouth relaxing.)
K, what rules would you prefer for this? What do you actually want with me currently?
(Man, Dirk sucked at this. He knows it's far from an ideal start to any relationship. But he was kind of a hot mess and that, more than anything else, is what he wanted K to understand. His own insecurities rested entirely inward. He knew this wasn't something that may be thrilling to K, and that makes him feel a press of guilt.)

Sorry. I know I'm overcomplicating this.
