I've been friends with a man in his late fifties for 3 years. This Feb just gone, the dynamic in our relationship changed. He noticed me and I noticed him. We have been texting on and off since. I usually make the first moves, to text him, to go see him, to invite him round. We have kissed, nothing more, but again I made the move each time. The last time we met, I kissed him, and he really kissed me back! He seemed much more passionately involved, he moved his hands over me and it was a nice sensual experience, but he sort of stopped himself from going further. But he clearly didn't want to leave. We made conversation, and I asked him whether he liked me kissing him I said I didn't want to make him feel awkward. His reply was, "I'm a man, I don't want to take advantage of you." He seemed genuine.
Is this man just reserved and shy perhaps? When I text him he replies within nanoseconds. Sometimes he doesn't text back at all however. I know, that if I didn't text him again from hereon in, I wouldn't hear from him and yet my intuition tells me he'd be annoyed that I wasn't reaching out and might feel that I am playing him.
I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt because his body language tells me all I need to know when we're face to face. But he just seems so reserved that it's quite hard to see if this has any future.
The other odd thing is that just before he came to see me yesterday he texted me asking me to remind him of my address. I was so confused! He knows where I live, he totally knows where I live and this man is not the type of person who forgets details.
What are your thoughts please?
