I need y’all’s opinion
I am a 18 year old boy and I’ve had a few relationships here and there, but they never really worked out. so I’ve just disconnected myself from the dating scene and prioritize myself. However my male friend that I’ve known for a while, and I have been much more touchy than we were before. We hold hands with interlocking fingers and rubbing thumbs, he sometimes places his hand on my knees and more recently I had to sit on his lap in a cramped car. He had his hands on my thighs for a bit and then had one hand on my waist/stomach and the other on my chest. And I am unsure what to think about it. I’m not sure if he’s just being friendly cuz I’m his friend or if he actually likes me. I’ve never had a relationship start like this, and I’m freaking out a bit.
We both have a lot of the same interests and I’m openly gay and he’s bisexual (but I don’t think he’s out with his family)
I do find him very attractive and charming, but I don’t wanna jump the shark and ask him. Should I just see if it develops more? Cuz it’s been a couple months of this happening. Anyways I’m asking for y’all’s thoughts about this cuz I’m still very young and dumb.
Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated.
