I have been going with the flow with my crush for almost a year. We are going to Africa this summer with a group and we will be spending every weekend together until June 16th then we are going to be there in Africa for two weeks. So here is the situation: I like him and think he likes me but I don't want to make a sure move because it could make things awkward for the both of us. We have these meetings for the trip every other weekend, the drive is long for me so he offered to meet me halfway at his house everytime. We stay the night at our friend's house who is holding the meetings. I said thanks and he said that it was no problem, it was the least he could do. He use to hug me all of the time, until just a month ago he stopped he hugs everyone else but me. I sometimes see him looking at me and smiling and then when I turn my head, he turns his away or he will continue to smile at me. He tries to get me involved in activites, saying I will like it or blah blah blah. Today after our meeting we went back to his house and he asked me if I was going to just head off or if I wanted to visit. So I stayed and visited, he offered me lunch. I met his grandma today and we played with his neice. Needless to say I could up the anty or I could continue with the flow. We have plently of time before this Africa trip to get to know each other but he makes me feel unlike anything ever. I don't want to screw this up, he is near and dear to me. This was really long, sorry. I needed to get all this out and get some input other then my pals because I know they will just tell me what I want to hear.
Do what you must, and make your move. Time slips like water through cracks we often don't even see. Seems like you're both already spending a lot of time with each other; it'll come naturally.
Thats pretty much every sign there is. Go for it. If you're still too nervous, get drunk with him, then go for it. If you get rejected, you can just say it wast he booze.
Time does slip away. I bought him some ginger beer today and called him, I will be seeing him all weekend and I am making my intentions slightly known. And no I will not get drunk infront of him. How humiliating.
I had a bonfire but didn't invite him. He stayed the night at my parents on Saturday and we watched tv and talked for a bit after we went for dinner with his sister and brother in law. Things keep progressing, nice and slow.
Well progress has been made. There has also been a bump made in the road. Our mutual friend Robin, she knows us both. Asked me two Sunday's ago if I liked Tim, I got the stupid look on my face and well I said yes. She told me today that somehow it came up: These were her exact words. "I called Tim to talk about the Mother's Day photos and then said there was someone interested in him. I asked if he wanted to know. He said yes and I told him it was you. He said he suspected it." I freaked out, she knows us both only a little and... anyway I asked her advice. She said keep distance, which I had been doing because I thought I was coming on a little strong. So today my pals and I went to lunch after church and he had overheard we were going to Wendy's. Well he showed up, sat with us after visiting with friends and didn't even eat. He directly asked me questions in the group but no one else. He is also a veggie eater and why would he come to Wendy's and not eat? and we do this group hand holding thing (to talk... thats another story) and well he held my hand tighter today So.... my pals were suggesting that on Tuesday around 7pm I call and ask him if he wants to grab a bite to eat or something on Thursday night.... is this a good idea or no? We will be seeing each other most of the weekend in groups.
I also don't want to cross that line where we become just friends. Robin said that since he is older and hasn't dated in a few years maybe he is just outta pratice. Could this be true?
