This guy and I have become friends. I work at iHop type place and I waited on him a time or two and we would talk and stuff. he eventually would come in and look for me and a few months ago he asked me if I ever wanted to hang out. He started inviting me places. Nothing like a date just grabbing drinks, the arcade, maybe some pool. It's a friendship.
But I have a mad crush on this guy. I have it pretty bad. We added each other on Facebook and I like to look at all his pictures. I have a weird infatuation with his life. He has a nice family and a bunch of sisters. They all just seem so nice. He's successful and crazy handsome. He's the first thing I think about when I wake up, I daydream about him during work and when I go to sleep I think about him for hours. Fantasizing about him makes me feel better about my reality. Nothing too dirty just us doing couple-y things.
The other night at his place I asked him about why he's single and he said he had not found the right girl. I asked him what kind of girl he was looking for and he said, "I like successful women in finance, real estate etc... who are very powerful in real life, but behind closed doors they are sweethearts. She also has to be attractive". He talked for a long time about how she would have to be smart and successful.

Should I still ask him out? I don't want to and feel stupid since I'm not his type. I'm not educated or successful like what he is looking for. I don't want to embarrass myself. I also like getting drunk with him because he tells me things and we're getting closer. It makes me feel special to him like he tells me things he doesn't tell anybody else.

Maybe just keep doing what you're doing and let it happen naturally.

Oh okay. Do you think I should try to hold his hand or lean in for a kiss? Does naturally mean I should make a move?

Was it just his dream about successful woman or it is a plan?

Maybe you should think a bit. He seems to be nice but his words show him as a very materialistic guy. Will you happy with him?

No, I would not. If he likes you then let him make any first moves.

I think being friends with a guy is great, but if you have feelings for him and he doesn't feel the same, make sure you are okay with that. Maybe try meeting and going out with other guys. You can still hang out with your friend, but don't dismiss other guys that ask you out.

Quit getting drunk around him and start thinking about your life.
Are you successful? Do you have plans for further education? Do you really want to be with this man long term?

From what you wrote that he said about the type of woman he wants long term so far you are not it with exception to the attractive part. I'm sure you are attractive.

Have you met his family or is this just a friendship only on his part with no chance of moving into romance?
Is he keeping you around to have sex with while he is looking for his dream girl?

Pull back on being friends, hanging as friends.

So it doesn't put you in the "friend zone."

"So Steve, when are you going to ask me out?"

If you don't want to be in the friend zone... don't hang out there.
