I need advice before I decide how to progress with this friendship...

Question - (17 September 2009) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I've known this guy for a few years and we lost touch with each other when we both switched jobs, but now he's been working for the same company as me for the past 2 years.

We've always got on really well and have loads in common. When we are at work we email each other regularly. We've swaped mobile numbers and text each other too.

We started going out for drinks together after work each week about 8 months ago and we always have fun and enjoy each others company.

Friends and colleagues at work have said there is a definate spark between us and have wondered if there is something going on with us.

I recently went away for a weekend to a concert with this guy and some of his friends, who I had not met before. We all got on really well. I had arranged to leave my car at his house and met his parents briefly too.

More recently he had a surprise birthday party where I was invited along with a couple of other work mates. His close friends were there and he introduced me to them by name. I met him again later in the week in a bar, on his actual birthday, where he was out with his close friends. They all talk to me and seem to get on with me. There was no-one else from work there on this occasion. He gave me a hug/kiss to thank me for his present and also when I was leaving the bar.

He's a little younger than me and has said in the past that he's not had a long term relationship or much experience with women.

I feel there is something between us and feel that he does like me but I'm not sure if he wants more than a friendship. If I ask him I might ruin the friendship we have built up.

Is this guy just shy and taking it slow to get to know me more before taking the relationship to the next stage? I have heard that when a guy starts to introduce you to his friends and you meet them he feels a lot about you.

I know this has been a long post but just need some advise before I decide how to progress with the relationship we have.
