So there's this guy that I've been casually seeing. We mostly interact at parties, where we end up making out most times. However, beyond those moments we haven't really had any substantial conversations or interactions.
Fast forward to a recent party where things took a slightly different turn. I ended up feeling unwell due to alcohol consumption, and he surprised me by showing genuine concern. He helped take care of me, cleaning up the mess after I threw up and stayed with me making sure I felt better. After that, we ended up talking a bit more, and he even asked multiple times if I was okay before we resumed our usual making out. He had then after asked if I wanted to go to his place after the party, but I had to turn him down as I couldn't leave my drunk friend for herself, which he understood.
I'm worried he might only be interested in a physical relationship. I want him to take me seriously, but I also fear being dismissed. During this stage of a "situationship" I always tend to be more self-concious when it comes to my appearance, worried that if he find someone better looking, I'm out of the picture since there are no strings attached. I don't want my own insecurities to get in the way either.
Here's where I'm at: I really like him, but I'm unsure about where we stand. I've started to develop feelings for him, but I'm also aware that our interactions have mostly been physical, and we haven't had the chance to really get to know each other outside of group settings.
I want to take things further with him, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I initiate more conversations outside of party settings? How do I express my interest in getting to know him better without coming on too strong? And most importantly, how do I navigate my own insecurities and trust issues in this situation?
