So I met this guy at the airport half a year ago,
we had an instant connection and talked from beginning till end. Met him at the check in and sat next to each other in the plane till we had our luggage.
I had a boyfriend when I met him and he knew, so we really started off as friends. My relationship stranded after 2 months. We went out together a couple times, always as friends. The connection between us though, is really strong. We have the same interests, same lifegoals and the same humour. We both cried on the first night we met as we got into such deep convo's and I just can't discribe the feeling I have when I see him it's like we've known eachother for a lifetime. We got kicked out by the owner of the lounge as it was 2 am and they wanted to close, we got there at 7.
We are both very busy with our own businesses, he isn't really a texter either so we don't text everyday. We send eachother reels on instagram and message in between I would say every other day or once in every 2/3 days. We do call sometimes. He had to go to Abu Dhabi for a business meeting the next day and called me the night before that he had really bad anxiety. Asked me what he should do, if he should go or not and such things. He is normally very 'manly' so him letting his guard down around me indicated to me he cares for my opinion and he feels safe to tell me those things.
Anyhow, I can't help it, I am in love with this man. I am in my late 20's and he is in his early 30's. How am I going to let him know I love him as more than friends? Due to my previous relationship we started a strong friendship and I am not sure if he knows how much I love him. God, I am not even sure he loves me as more than friends but I am hoping he does. The way he looks at me when we are together tells me he does. I just don't know how to tell him
