So, we both know we like each other, now what?

One of my closest friends and I have just recently admitted about a week ago to each other than we have feelings for the other. Neither of us really have any experience in dating or relationships and have now kind of reached an awkward "what do we do now?" sort of stage. At the moment we talk everyday and see each other just about every second. We flirt around and are inseparable but aren't quite sure how to proceed from here. We're both naturally very shy people too. We haven't really told anyone that we are in a relationship which each other although all of our other friends and our families kind of suspect it. We haven't kissed or even held hands yet. We've had lunch together a few times where it was just the two of us and saw a movie together too. So, what now? How would I or he proceed now?

Thanks in advance.

ah young love... ha ha jk. well the next thing to do is make it official. I know being shy plays a factor, but lemme tell you that me being shy wasted SO MANY opportunities for myself. who cares what other people are gonna say? one thing that you guys have and a lot of other people don't is that you guys were friends FIRST. meaning you already know tons of stuff about each other and you still like each other. just go for it. when I was in high school, the girls had to make the first move on me because I was way too shy. I would over think things way too much. I would think that the girls wanted me to take things slow because other guys moved too fast. but apparently I went WAY too slow lol. so basically you might have to make the first move since, being a guy, we're expected to make the first move. you might have to take one for the team.

Girls are attracted to confidence. You can be shy, but still show confidence. If you like her, tell her. Don't waste her time, and money, or yours

Hi there. I'm kinda in the same boat at the moment with a girl. I saw this post is from a year ago and was wondering how you handled this in the end.

If you both like each other, or know you do etc.. she's waiting for you to make a move. Basically, the balls in your court, to do SOMETHING. If you go the "physical" route by kissing her, etc.. be careful that you can tell she wants to be, as sexual harassment is rampant these days. if you do go that route, look up some signs of a girl that wants to be kissed etc..

But, yeah, girls want a guy who just shows her confidence, and that TAKES CHARGE
