Alright. So I dated this guy in middle school. We dated for about 9 months before I broke up with him. It was over not seeing each other outside of school, not talking each other except for at school, stuff like that, cause, you know, middle school. No car. No money... Having your parents drive you everywhere...
We're great friends. We've gotten closer and closer as the years went by. We were in the same classes, and we graduated high school together. As time went on, my crush came back even worse than before. We graduated May of 2016, so over a year ago. We text roughly every other day. When he came out as Bi-sexual, I was one of the only people he told aside from his family, because he said I was one of the closest people to him.
We go out and see movies together, sometimes with friends and sometimes just us, and we pay separate. I mean, he's offered before, to pay if I didn't have the money, cause he is very kind. However, as of October, he's been inviting me out, just me and him, and paying for my meal/movie ticket, not even asking me if I want to split. Just paying for it. He'll usually pay for one thing, like one day we went to a cafe, then a bookstore. He paid for the cafe meal. Another time we went to a movie and got drinks after, he paid for the movie.
He hasn't said anything about it being a date or whatever, but to me, it feels like the atmosphere is different. He's been pulling out my chair, opening the car door for me, holding open doors for me, etc. Which he has never done before. He asked to a tea cafe again this Friday, and he asked for my permission to invite his best friend along, which is another thing he has never done before. Usually he just says that so and so is coming along. He's also leaving for college soon, and he said he wanted to hangout as much as we can before he leaves...
I want to ask him if these are dates, and maybe start another relationship with him, but he's going to a college about 3 hours away in January, and i'm not even sure If he likes me like that....
It's so hard to tell for me, cause he is always kind, funny and flirtatious. Not just with me, but with everyone around him. He is in art, band, and drama, he's just one of those people, ya know? I think maybe he is more flirtatious with me, but again, it's hard to tell...
What you guys think?
