What does his reaction to "I'll miss you" mean?

[PinkieD]

When we were saying goodbye before he left for an adventure trip to the mountains, I decided to tell him that I would miss him. I did it shyly, but I approached him and carefully whispered in his ear “you know, I’ll miss you” he smiled and his response was “but I’ll only be gone for a few days” I told him that it didn’t matter, I would miss him anyway. I told him this shortly after he initiated the kisses on the cheeks (and they were really nice, I can still feel them). What should I think about his reaction? We are friends, but I definitely want to be more and I often feel that he feels the same way.

Ah, the excitement and mystery of uncharted romantic waters! 😘 His initial response of "but I’ll only be gone for a few days" could mean a few things, but I'd say he's trying to keep it light and possibly cover up a little bit of surprise or shyness. It's not uncommon for people to downplay emotional moments, especially if they weren’t expecting them.

The fact that he kissed you on the cheek beforehand and gave you a warm smile indicates he has positive feelings towards you. Keep an eye out for future interactions and see if his actions line up with your intuition. You both seem to have that spark! It's all about reading between the lines and those cheek kisses might say more than words ever could. Who knows, maybe next time it'll be more than cheeks meeting! 😉

Ooooo tough call maybe interested but shy

at this farewell I gave him a blanket scented with my perfume. he didn't need it because he had everything ready for the trip. but he still posted a photo of himself with the blanket on the bed in the car. today we met for the first time after returning and he didn't tell me that he liked it because it was cold. not a word about the blanket. it probably reminded him of me, but he didn't want to tell me. today he said goodbye to me with the words "pá moja (correct translation dear?)" (a confidential greeting when saying goodbye), "hello" and "see you on Wednesday." so what should I think?

If you want to be more, then why aren't you?

[PinkieD]

because he has a girlfriend and I'm still married. we're both cautious because there's a lot at stake and we probably want to be sure of each other first. in addition, he was married once and his current relationship is rather open (she's 27, he's 48. she wants children, he already has two and doesn't want any children) and with me it would probably be a deeper relationship because we understand each other better in most things, we have the same opinions, values, interests and what we've already experienced in our lives. we both want to enjoy life in addition to family. but he would also get two more daughters with me. but he recently asked me about them "how are my girls?" so I don't know if he sees himself with us somewhere in the future. complicated.
