I recently met up with a longtime online friend. I was going to be in his area and asked if he wanted to pop along since we both enjoy the same things.

We had a great time. I had no intentions of thinking anything more of it other than friends. Only we have spoken daily since. We have been out again, and already got the next day out planned. Along with many, many other places on a list that we will be going to. Now I'm starting to develop feelings for him.

I just dont know if he feels the same. I am happy either way, whether it would be a friendship or more. But I wish he would give me something so that I can get past this bleurghh stage I'm currently in.

He has dropped what I feel are hints, but at the same time he has said things that make it seem like he is not ready for a relationship, or any intimate connection. So just when I'd be thinking I'm getting an answer, I'd sharp be snapped back to reality with another comment lol.

I cant just ask as I really do enjoy our time together, and if that means only as friends I can accept that. I dont want to ruin that, and I'm scared that asking could ruin it.

Any ideas on how I can figure this out?

I think if someone wants more from you they will make it pretty clear.

Perhaps enjoy his company as friends for now if you are happy with that, and see how it goes.

Yes I agree. If he was keen you would know.

TheChip · 13/06/2022 07:22

Yeah, I have to agree with you both. I will just focus myself on us being friends

Your bleurgh stage isn't his responsibility to pull you out of.

If you want clarity, ask for it. If you can't do that, it wouldn't be advisable to further your relationship with him.
