I think you should just continue to be friendly towards him and let things play out. Why do you need an answer right now? You guys both have a lot on your plate. Maybe what you both really need from each other right now is a no pressure friend and then down the road you can see how things play out when you aren't living with your ex boyfriend and he's not wrapped up in a custody battle.
Well, like I said, if only I knew whether he liked me or not, I would know how to act. I can wait as long as need be, but I don't want to think that he's interested and wait for months until the "right time", only to find that he was never interested in the first place. Ya know?
Well, I got my answer. Six of us went out last night for dinner/drinks and bowling (2 coworkers, their spouses, and Guy and me, which was rather awkward!). We all had a blast, and were pretty tipsy (some more than others!). The other 2 couples left, but wanted to make sure I got home ok, and since I live 30 minutes away from where we were, Guy asked if I wanted to go to his house and he could bring me back to my car this morning after I sobered up enough to drive.
We talked for quite some time, and then I said that I should sleep. He asked if I wanted him to sleep in the bed or on the couch, and I said in the bed. Being slightly inebriated, I don't really remember much of what was said, but I do remember telling him I was interested in him, and his response was something along the lines of he was uncomfortable being put on the spot. We fell asleep holding each other, but nothing else happened. On the way home this morning, I apologized for making him feel uncomfortable, but we really didn't talk about it at all. I did ask him, just so I would know 100%, why he offered to sleep in the bed with me, and he said that he wanted to make sure I would be ok if I got sick in the middle of the night, and wanted me to be more comfortable sleeping in a strange house.
So, he was a perfect gentleman, and let me down easy, in a way that would let me figure it out in a way that wouldn't make me feel awkward around him at work.
I'm sort of sad, because it's been years since I've connected with someone in the way I did with him, and I don't think I've ever had so much in common with anyone ever before. It could have been something beautiful if only the mutual interest was there.
But at least I know now, and can let go of it gracefully.
I'm getting pretty good at that.
