Does he really like me as more than a friend or was it 'just a kiss'?
Hi there, advice and opinions would be greatly appreciated !
I'll try to keep this short and sweet ..
My guy friend who I've known for a few years now kissed me on two separate occasions on nights out over the past five or six weeks. He works in the same building as me, but not in the same area, so I see him almost every day. Since I've known him, only in the last 6 months (coincidentally since I broke up with my ex) I have gotten to know him better and talk to him more. I've always really liked him as a person but never thought of him any other way, until the night he kissed me and we spent so much time together, now I'm kicking myself why I never saw him in this way before as he's perfect for me!
I initially thought that after our first kiss that things would be awkward between us at work the following day, but it wasn't, in fact, since our kisses, we've been speaking more than ever! But that's really just it, we're speaking more than ever, about every day things, chatting, joking, taking little walks to the shop (where we work), but nothing has been said about our kiss(es), not one word and it's eating away at me I just want to know what his reason for it was.
It's really frustrating because as you can probably tell, I really like this guy, and all I want is to know if he feels the same but I can't ask him I'm terrified of ruining what we have already.
Little signs that has shown me that yeah, maybe he does like me are: he always says hello, makes conversation, does me favours, gives me advice when I ask, and now he's told me personally that he's coming to my birthday party next month and that he "wouldn't miss it". But then I think, if he did like me, he would have asked me for my number or asked me out by now, right? I'm thinking maybe he's too shy and it was the liquid courage on those nights out that pushed him to make the move.. but then I think that's just me and wishful thinking. I've also recently found out that all of his colleagues in his area know about me and what happened between us so he's obviously talking about me!
I really don't know what to do it's driving me crazy because every day I see him, I fall deeper for the guy, I'm getting butterflies just thinking about him. Do you think maybe he's shy? Or am I just some girl he can kiss when he's out drinking and he's bragging about it to his colleagues? I'm hoping he's shy because he's so genuine to my face that I'd hate to think it was the latter.. Any tips maybe on how I could bring it up in conversation or give him the push to ask me out? I just don't know how he feels !! :(
Thank you :)
