The first I met this guy was at an event, felt an immediate strong connection to him like I need this person in my life. I had the best day for a long time just being with him.
Anyway I am quite content single after my break up last year, so really not too fussed about dating! But when he was quite persistent in going out, I thought why not.
We went out today and we were together for 10 hours! At one point we bumped into my friends too and they loved him. Now here's the thing - I felt there was flirting banter, lots of extended eye contact etc...he rubbed my shoulder at one point and took my hand in his briefly to inspect my fake tattoo from a festival we went to (and I did the same with him!) - but no kiss! I put myself right up close to him on two occasions, once in the bar, and when we were lying down in the park, that would've given him the chance. I'm kind of wondering if the attraction wasn't strong enough for him because of this?
We hugged at the end and he immediately suggested meeting up again. AIBU? I worry we're going to fall into the friendzone. I don't know if it's my expectations.
