The guy I like recently got down on one knee and jokingly asked me to marry him. We joke around with each other a lot, so I didn't think anything of it. In fact, I playfully punched him and told him to get up and just laughed it off. But of course now I can't stop thinking about it, wondering why he would say something like that.
It's been difficult to know how he really feels about me or if he wants something serious with me, and I'm often left feeling confused by his actions. We get along really well, there's obviously a good connection and chemistry that we both feel, but aside from hanging out occasionally it hasn't progressed any further than that. I know he doesn't just want to hook up with me because there have been plenty of times it could have easily escalated to that, but hasn't. He's told me he's not the type of guy to just hook up with a girl for no reason. But he also has yet to ask me on a proper date.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little afraid of commitment and expressing how I really feel. I even tried to tell him that I just wanted to be friends, nothing more, just in case that was all he wanted and the minute he told me he still had feelings I said I felt the same way. And he's expressed that I'm not good at showing how I feel, but I also feel the same way about him. I don't know if he's also scared or maybe a little shy, or if he's just having fun with me and that's it.
Part of me just wants to take the plunge and ask him out myself, but I'm afraid of getting rejected. I've felt rejected by him in the past, and I actually stopped talking to him for months because of it. He came back around, and very creatively found a way to get me to start talking to him again. And we actually had a long conversation about what had happened, which is when he told me he still had feelings for me. I know eventually something will have to happen, or I'll have to walk away, I just can't tell whether this guy is actually worth investing in or not.
