Search Results: how to get out of friend zone

On Saturday I went with guy from school on a date, we spent 5 hours together and we had a really nice time. His friends called him couple of times while we were toghether to go out with them and he said that he is busy and stayed with me. We have done some flirty touches, but it was all fine and respectfull. At the end of the date he said that we will hear from eachother and see again. On Sunday morning he sent me a message that was about some topic that we had the day before. In my opinion, even if he didn't say that, i knew he had a nice time and it was probbably his way of telling me that. On Monday we saw echother at school said hi and all of that, on Tuesday as well. That same night i sent him a message that im watching a movie he recommended me. We had a talk about that over text and it was also all great. However since then we haven't heard from eachother. On Wednesday he didn't say hi to me, and on Thursday and Friday he wasn't at school. He is liking my pictures, watching my stories but he doesn't text me. I am really confused.
My friend are telling me he is shy, wich he is. However I am shy as well but when I like someone I get out of my confort zone.

There's this guy I've been talking to online for a couple of months now. Two weeks ago we met for the first time and this week we're going to meet up again. We had a lot of fun and I can talk to him about anything really. He's like really cute and kind of really my type, but I don't want to start liking him.

He's a great friend: he supports & motivates me, tries to get me out of my comfort zone and doesn't judge me. I feel like really comfortable around him and can be just silly & weird. I just wish things could stay like this without feelings getting in the way and ruin everything.

I'm kind of really scared of feelings and had some really bad experiences with guys and liking them. (I know it's wrong to distance myself because getting hurt is part of life, but its not really something I can deal with atm).

So many think, their soulmate is their daily online chat boyfriend/girlfriend, whom they may never meet.
A soulmate is not a fantasy where many infatuated towards a woman/man they have never spoke to or held hands or dated or met in person. A soulmate is not a one sided relationship where you are desperately wanting the one that got away. Or the friend zone/one sided relationship that you think you are her prince when she only sees you a toad. Or one waiting for a married man to divorce and sweep her feet away... all these are disillusions, one put in their head.
Your soulmate, may I share is one who you have been through life with and you gave your all. You want them to be happy and they the same to you. You can look into their eyes and say I love you after you have hurt their feelings and say I'm sorry and mean it. Then wipe each others tears away. You respect each other, laugh together and grow together. You have share your most intimate and most difficult part. If you have never make love or broken apart and made up, how can you call each other soulmate? If you go 9 yards, she will return that. That's what I call knowing you have each others back - a soulmate.
I experienced all that, now I know what soulmate means.
