That's all you need to know right there. You're attracted to him, he is to you, now just kiss him and be done with it. Just let things take their natural progression.. I think that you two will work out fine.

im in the same exact position with my best friend. but hes too afraid to go into a relationship because he doesnt want to ruin anything. but since you guys are both leaning towards it, i would just give it some time keep your options open to other guys, and remember that just because youre dating doesnt mean youre making a lifetime commitment.

Ha. Revival of an old thread!

No further advice needed for me. This guy ran after one of his subordiantes at work, proposed after a month, moved in together, and now he's knocked her up--all in less than 6 months

I wish them luck. They're sure as hell going to need it.

You might want to ask yourself "What If"...

What if you DON'T go ahead with a relationship upgrade, and you always regret it?

What if you DO go ahead and you regret it?

Which would be the easier regret to live with? This might seem a negative way of looking at a relationship, but it's certainly a pragmatic way.

I went down the route a few years ago.

For me, I valued the idea of being with her more than the actual friendship. It wouldn't kill me to never find out but it would cause me a lot of stress. I told her and it worked out.
