Are we platonic friends? Or more than a friendship?

Question - (14 May 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 14 May 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone,

Thank you for reading this - I am SUPER confused / hopeful about this situation. . .

I became friendly with the man who lives next door. We are the same age (30), both are single, and have similar opinions and background. (I also find him to be extremely cute!)

It is a weird situation; we spend time alone together every so often, but it seems to be only a friendship for now. The male / female relationship isn't what is weird, but the fact that we do not share common friends or acquaintances is peculiar. In my experience, men do not become friends with women out of the blue. To add to the confusion, he always insists on paying for tabs and is very sweet to me.

The other night he spontaneously invited me over to his apartment for wine. We had such a nice time that I ended up staying for a movie. It probably sounds like there is more to this, but there is not a physical component to the relationship. (Unfortunately.)

This has been going on for about 4 months - but on and off. For awhile his ex-girlfriend was trying to get back together with him and I stopped spending time with him. The wine / movie at his apartment was the first I'd spent time with him since their relationship ended.

Can anyone see through this? My problem is that I have developed strong feelings for him and cannot read his intentions. Am I right to be (optimistically) suspicious that the friendship is likely to become more?

Thank you for your time!!
