Hey all,
I have posted on here in the past when my mum died and it was nice to get some support from other mums (I'm not a mum myself) so I hope it is okay to post again for some sound advice :)
I have recently met a guy who is friends with my older brother. I have known him for a while because of this obviously, but more just like somebody to say hello to. I don't get on with my older brother particularly well.
Anyway, since Christmas i have seen this guy out in bars quite regularly and we always chat along with his friend who also knows my brother very well and we all get along well and have a laugh. A few weeks ago me and this guy ended up alone and we kissed. We then exchanged messages via facebook.
This weekend I saw the two guys again and my friend and I stayed with them all night. The guy I like held my hand all night and was really sweet. He told my friend he likes me and that he won't mess me about. He was drunk though lol! His friend also told my friend that he seemed smitten with me 
. We ended up going back to his friends house and had drinks there until the early hours and he held my hand on the sofa all night and we cuddled etc. We then went back to my house where we slept together and he stayed til around 1pm that afternoon. He said he didn't want to go home and even mentioned a next time..
Anyway, that was at the weekend and since then we have spoke every day but only 3-4 messages per day and it's been me who has initiated it. He takes a while to reply but I guess I've been comparing him to my ex who we used to text all day every day. He asks questions and keeps the conversation flowing, and popped up with a silly photo to make me laugh last night.
BUT..He hasn't asked me out! I mentioned him tkaing me out at the weekend in a jokey manner but he said he had no money until he gets paid. I daren't mention it again and I daren't ask him out myself in case he says no. I don't even mind going out where we have to pay..I'd be happy just to see him or go for a drive etc!
Does it sound like he is interested? Or am I wasting my time? I do really like him, and when i saw him at the weekend with his friend, he asked if the two of us wanted time alone - which made me think he had told him we'd been chatting. Do I keep waiting and initiating conversations or do I just ask him out myself?
Sorry it's so long and thanks for any help!
