We went on one date, but we didn't see each other after that. I can't actually remember why. He sent me some messages recently saying that he has missed me and enjoys talking to me as we have a laugh, and he said that he has always liked me. Hw asked if I was still talking to him after he said that. I'm not sure if he means he likes me as a friend or in another way. How should I ask him about it?. I've also recently come out of another relationship, so I might need to explain that. Could he be feeling more confident now that we are older, or could he just miss me because he is going through a difficult time?. His dad isn't well at the moment. Reply to this Question Share |

I think you should just see how it goes, meet up see how you both get on and see if you can be friends.

I'm not sure what to do, but I agree that I need to take things slowly. I think I also need to ask him a few more questions about his reasons why. So you think I should ask questions or just see how it goes?.

After 13 years I think he should have made a move by now. Could it be that he has a gap in his relationship itinerary and he thought, 'Who can I call?'
That needn't stop you exploring possibilities but be aware that you may just be a stop-gap. He may just be lonely.
And you are now facing life without a partner. Are you too looking for someone to be there.
Take it slow. Make sure you have reclaimed yourself from your previous affiliation.

If not, at least you've gained a good friebd. Don't think too much about romance and being with him. Be his friend and get to know him. Take it one day at a time and don't over think. Afterall, you've just gotten out of a relationship, you need time to heal too.
