How can I take things at a good pace level with my guy friend that I have a crush on without messing things up?

[Paulalove98]

He knows i like him by the way and he said he feels comfortable around me but we're still establishing a bond as friends but since i like him too i dont wanna pressure or move super fast so how can i go about this?

Well if he never looks at you a certain way or tries to make a move he is at best a very chivalrous “nice guy”. He is wants you to give him a direct signal first that it’s okay to make a move. Again that is at best.

But there is a very real chance that if he never makes a move then he isn’t attracted to you. You are in the friéndzone.

Men don’t seek out women to be only “friends with”. They might become friends via happenstance i. e. meeting through work, school, activities. But straight men do not approach random women hoping to “make a friend”. That’s a huge waste of time.

So how he met you really has an impact on this. If he was really attracted to you then you would definitely know by now. Even if never made a move you would notice it by how he looks at you.

So I am warning you there is a good chance you might be friendzoned. Don’t get your hopes up.

Are you dating? If not, invite him to your place if you have one.

I think that just take your time. Don't go too fast. Keep hanging out with him and do not push him farther then he is comfortable

no sex till monogamy !! Make sure y’all have lots in common and share the same values and that you’re comfortable with him. Put sex to the side kissing, cuddling good but build anticipation for the other bedroom stuff

does he like you or has he expressed interest in you beyond friends at all?

[Paulalove98]

I feel like he does but he isn't sure how to tell me or express but he did let me hold his hands while we went to the fair and he let me give him his first kiss. What do you think?

[Still-alive]

hmm those actions are definitely more romantic than friendly soo i think there is interest.

I'd say continue to go out with him any chance you get. continue talking to him and maybe eventually he will tell you how he feels.
