Basically I can't work out if I'm sort-of dating somebody. We've never said it's dating, never held hands or anything, but we've gone to places together, he came around for dinner and to watch telly one night and ended up staying until one just chatting, we text loads too. This has been going on since June-time now.
Anyway, he had a fairly nasty break up about nine months ago and I had a bit of an issue with a very good friend starting flirting and cuddling with me, then suddenly going out with my best friend. So it could just be that we're both a bit nervous of saying/doing anything...
What I find very confusing is that we don't really touch - we don't hug at the end of evenings or anything - I'd happily do that (I'm pretty tactile and have a group of friends who are similar) but he doesn't seem keen at all. If we're sitting on the sofa together it's very separate etc. I don't expect to loll all over him or anything, but there are people I'm a lot less close to who I'd sit closer to!
So writing that down, it sounds like just friends. But he keeps texting/inviting me to places in a way I probably wouldn't with just a friend. I like him so I'm just going with it, but I can't work out what he wants, and I don't want to make a mistake and scare him off as a friend.
I'd be tempted to try holding his hand/cuddling up to him and see what he did, but I sort of tried once a few weeks ago and he didn't move away instantly but didn't seem that comfortable so I just moved away again. And then of course I used to cuddle up with my friend quite a lot (but he's very tactile too) and that obviously didn't mean anything, so would it help anyway?
So I don't know if he likes me and just isn't cuddly, or whether I'm completely wrong...
