Sorry for the 14 yr old sounding title but Im all silly and excited and so unsure as what to do next. I'm rubbish at reading the "signs". Be honest and give me some advice please.
Briefly. Man (let's call him James) and I were good friends as teenagers. We spent lots of time together and has shared a kiss but grew apart as we both left school, started work and met other people.
Fast forward 12 years and we got in touch on Facebook (groan, I know). We'd been trying to arrange a night to meet up and finally did about 3 weeks ago. We went out, ate and drank and had a lovely time. He invited me
back to his (he lives near me now he's moved back into the area) and I accepted. He's always been the perfect gentleman, he's sweet kind and honest and I know he genuinely invited me back for more time together rather than for sex. We chatted and laughed and drank all night. By then we were sat real close on the sofa and shared a hug, then a kiss. Not just a drunk snog but we sat there kissing for well over an hour. The sweet kisses where you touch each others face and stroke your hands through their hair. (Sorry tmi with the soppyness, but it's important for the picture). He said to me "where have you been all this time?" melt Then I had to leave. We were drunk but not ridiculously drunk. He made no other advances on me, which leads me to further believe he didn't just want a cheap one night stand as he didn't try for it.
He text me once I was home (sunrise by now) and said he'd had a fantastic night. Since then we have text each other every day. Usually a few texts each way. Just general chatting and talking about our plans, work, social life etc. I mentioned what happened the other night and he said "it was lovely" and "perhaps it made up for all that lost time" and later "the kisses we shared were lovely, but you've just come out of a relationship so not sure if we can go down this road" what's that supposed to mean?!?
He's still texting me and initiated conversations (I made sure Ive checked that he's not just being polite and responding to me but that he really is chatting out of his own choice) we've arranged to meet up again in a few days time. We have a mutual interest which I won't name as it may out me but we met there this afternoon and had chance to chat. he came right up to me with a kiss (cheek) and a hug and we stood and had a chat for a while. He seems very smiley and what I was describe as flirty but perhaps he is just a very sweet man.
I can't remember the last time I felt all fuzzy like this about someone and I need to get a grip don't I :)
So, should I tell him how I feel? I don't want to ruin our newfound friendship if he doesn't feel the same. I guess I should not mention anything for now and wait and see what happens when we meet again next week.
Eeeeeeeeek! :)
