A man came into my life (relative of friends) this Spring.
We meet up probably every two-three weeks (as a group), usually going to the pub or somesuch. In the last few months, I've been feeling more and more attracted to him. After seeing him twice this week, I am in crush-central; thinking about him all the time, wondering what it would be like to kiss him (and getting the ol' fanny gallops), butterflies, the works.
I feel as though the attraction is mutual - I find that he is looking at me when I look his way... he pays a lot of interest in my life, and says things like "oh, MM, you'll have to come to X and Y" He has MH problems (not a big deal for me) and apparently perks up around me. I'm not a very good flirt, but I did a bit of gentle flirting last night, and he responded.
I'm not sure how/if I should take this further... It could be complicated as I'm friends with two of his close family members, and we (with my mum) go out as a group. SO, we don't get a lot of opportunity to be alone together. I think he has some self-esteem issues (according to a trusted source) about anyone wanting him. BUT I DO!
Oh, sorry to be a little vague but I'm completely paranoid in case anyone who knows him/us would read this and piece it together (unlikely, I s'pose).
I feel like a silly 14 year old, need some grown-up input please.
TIA.
