Hey everyone, thanks in advance for reading, here's the issue...

So a little while ago I got out of a relationship of one year. He's a wonderful person, but we just couldn't work any more.

Pretty soon after the break up I started hanging out with this guy who I knew through mutual friends. I had no intentions of anything physical happening and neither did he, being that he had just gotten out of a two and a half year reationship a few months back, and he didn't want to pressure me, since I just got out of a relationship.

We started hanging out pretty much every other day. We just clicked instantly and could talk for hours about anything. It was like immediately we bcame close, and I know he thinks so too because we've talked about it.

A few weeks into hanging out we were hanging out, playing video games and we kissed.

We both agreed it wasn't anything serious and we weren't 'together' it was just kind of fooling around.

Fast forward to now, a few weeks after that and I feel really close to him. He comes and picks me up from my house almost every day and we hang out until as late as possible. He constantly compliments me and ays how I'm the "only cool girl he knows". When we hang out we acts so sweet to me but we're not 'dating'.

I'm afraid that I would really LIKE to be dating and he doesn't want that and I may ruin this really good new friendship. Then I think what if he wants to be dating too but doesn't want to say anything.

I apologize if this is long and tedious, but what should I do? My friends say we're already basically dating but we say we aren't (though I wouldn't mind changing that). He acts so kind and compliments me constantly. Should I ask him about it? Or keep my mouth shut?

AuntyAunt agony auntYou both obviously like each other so I say you should talk to him about this! Certainly don't 'keep your mouth shut' as you deserve to know where you stand either way.

Best of luck!

aunt honesty agony auntGo for it! Life is to short and it sounds like you both like each other but you are both to afraid to say it, tell him how you feel! You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain, the worst case scenario would be that he is not ready to date yet and then you could continue on with the friendship. But usually platonic friends don't kiss each other so there is obviously something there between you both.
