I’m in the talking stage and just want to move forward with my 42m partner (39f)
I need to know how to move forward from this talking stage.
back story. we work together. we’ve been best friends for awhile. almost immediately after he started working with me we realized that we both had a lot in common and the rest is history. we’ve become really close and around my birthday I confessed my feelings for him. he def said he liked me back and since then we’ve been talking and taking things so slow. like molasses slow. no hang out time, no fun time, just a lot of phone and text time and time at work. I know he’s trying to take things and he does want us to be friends before we make anything is official. here’s the thing I’m struggling with, I’m crazy about him. in every way. he’s so smart. he’s handsome. he’s determined. and my oh my my when I say im drawn to him, I mean that. on all levels. I just want to take things further with him and I want advice from anyone whos ever been in these positions, what would you do or how would you tell him that you want to respect his boundaries and how do I show him that I don’t want to be like the rest and support him?
