    Casual to Relationship??

    Im New- Krystal- nice to meet u all!

    Hoping for a bit of advice. I have know Wayne for over a year. We used to date about this time last year. We stoped because he told me he wanted to settle down and stop going out etc... I heard not not later he got a gf (which didnt work out).

    We have very similar lifestyles now and have quite a bit in common.

    I has started talking to him again about 8 months later and he was single again. I hadnt seen him in all this time. I invited him to my birthday 23rd pub crawl and we ended up hooking up and sleeping together that night. I thought it was a one night thing untill i heard from him the next week asking me out to a comedy show. I accepted and we went out had fun and went back to mine. We have been doing this since my birthday now. catching up about twice a week and either going to a comedy show or the movies, or i will cook at mine and he will stay the night.

    We have never spoken about a relationship or being exclusive. I really like him and always have. I dont know to to bring up the subject of our relationship and what it is. He has recently added alot of my friends to facebook 2- which he didnt do when we were dating last time.

    He can be very affectionate at himes and not at others..hot and cold maybe... Some times i will get messages and phone calls in a row from him and other times i wont hear from him for a couple of days and it is driving me a tiny bit crazy not knowing what he thinks.

    I guess im also worried to bring it up, worried that he wont feel the same i guess, but i know i need to know.

    Do u have any advice on how he might feel about me? Or how to bring up the subject of how i feel? I do NOT want to rush into a bf/gf relationship by any means but i do want to know if he has feeling for me.

    I just added below a conversation i just had with him on fb to see if that gives u guys any insight!

    Thanks for any help insight- i know i do over think things wayyyyy to much- but i have to deal with this and just after some advice!!!

    I am never one to suggest having one of the "big talks," but if you feel like you need it, then the best way to go about it is simply come right out and ask him how he would define the two of you. You can explain that it has been on your mind and you just wanted to know what his feelings were on the subject and that you couldn't come up with a good way to ask. That might lessen some of the shock and awe in the question.
    But be ready for any and all possible responses he might give. If you are not ready to listen, you are not ready to talk.

    Good luck.

    I didn't read you chat log, but your history doesn't sound that promising to be honest, because he "settled down" with someone else last year, when he had chance with you. But since you are already in some kind of relationship, you can give it a try.

    Based on what you said, you definitely need to talk with him.

    He seems to be up front about relationship's status. If you like him, you really need to know his ideas about your relationship, because you don't want to live in a dream world.
    Encourage him to be honest with you and don't be afraid of any answer. If he does see it as a relationship - that's what you want, so it's great. If he doesnt' feel the same way - it's better to find it out sooner, than later.
    Think of the best way to bring it up, and go ahead! Everything is for the best.

    Thanks for the advice so far guys- appriciated..

    Its just that when we do spend time together he will come over and we will eat and spend lots of time together that night- and if he has the next day off, he will spend half of the next day with me and cook us breakfast/lunch- watch tv together, talk and relax more...

    I have had other casual relationships before and we just didnt spend that kind of time together which is probally confusing me- but then it also does when i dont hear from him for a few days.

    ..Very true about having to be ready to listen to be ready to talk! I just feel i have to for my own sanity and also if he mayb thinks im just interested in a casual relationship and thats it, as i have nether brought it up either

    He wil also do small nice things for me for example- when we had gone out to town with a group of my friends, my car was parked about a km away at the the bus stops- he walked down and got it and went to the supermarket to get us bread and salad and make lunch... which i wouldnt expect someone to do, but then again mayb he is just a nice guy lol

    I would say bring it up before you do anything else, have a bit of usual chat and then say that you've been thinking about the two of you...
    Or have you already had the talk? How did it go?

    Yea not good...

    Did it after we went to bed i said "Can i ask u some thing?" He looked at me- "Are u sleeping with anyone else?" he replied "Not recently."

    I said "Ok because i just want u to know that i like u, more than i have liked any1 in a while, no pressure, but i just wanted u 2 know."

    he replied "Im so drunk" and went to sleep kind of cuddling me.

    He just left, I said to him "Your not going to be weird not because i what i said. I told u i liked u and u said Im so drunk- do u have anything u want to say to me?"

    he said "I dont know." He kissed and hugged me and left.

    He said he was gonna help me move my recyclable bottles to the depot this weekend, but i dont think or know if i should even txt him after that convo.

    Im short im a lil bit heartbreoken atm...I just wish i didnt start seeing him again i really do

    I am sure you had some good times with him, so even if seeing him again wasn't the best idea, there is no point to regret it now. Remember the best and learn from experience.

    It doesn't sound like a good talk, but he got the hint anyway, so he is the one who has something to think about and this is not your problem anymore! And it's good that you brought it up now!
    Although don't wait for his reply, keep yourself busy. He might be honest now, so whatever it is, it will be for the best in the long run

    Thanks for your help. now im just kind of sad becasuse i dont know when/ if i will hear from him....

    do u think if in a couple of days from now if i hadnt herd from him i should txt him something like

    "just a quick 1 cuz i hadnt herd from u in a couple days after i mentioned that i was starting to fancy u a bit..Your a sweetheart & I def enjoy spending time with u at home and out but best we stop sleeping together(devo lol). Im def not looking to jump into n e thing serious, but if u dont feel similar then prob not for the best..

    Must say that after everything thought u actually could of had a chat with me... "

    or wait longer or less? ah hate it how he makes me feel like a 15 year old girl always thinking about it! Im a 23 year old woman!

    I don't think that you should send such text, because it's a bit misleading. It sounds apologetic, but there is no need for that. It's also confusing that you don't want to jump into anything serious. I thought you wanted something just a bit more serious and committed than it is at the moment.

    There is no need for you to say anything now (unless you really need help with those recycable bottles). It is all up to him. His best answer so far was "I am so drunk".
    Don't be hard on yourself.

    Thanks man- yea your right it does sound confused and apologetic. I was just meaning i dont want him to be my bf bang right away but i want to know that he has feelings for me i guess...

    Well he knew i was out at Reds (a nightclub) last night and i missed a call from him about 45 minutes of being there and had a message asking if i was there, and if the entry was free after 12- I said no babe its not free. He messaged back just saying he wasnt going out and if he did he would b temped to smoke (quiting).

    And that was it. So nothing really but guess a little bit....

    And i wont send him anything like the message i was going to write
