People say we should be together how do I find out?

Question

Me and a guy at work have just moved into the same appartment building and we both hanging out with the same group of friends etc. We go drinking and always chat on the net and by sms's and people keep commenting that we should get together. I like him but I am wayyyy to shy to do anything - I am also really bad at reading signs so dont know if he just thinks I am a nice girl or he wants to go further. Do you think I should do something and if so what? We spend a lot of time together but hes a normally touchy feely person but hardly ever has body contact with me.

Answer 1

Well, if you two are working together at the same place, then things can get a little crowded...what i mean is that you two will need your own space and if you are working, living (very close to each other) and have same circle of friends, then there comes a time where it will get uncomfortable. Less is more and more you see of each other (which you will cuz of the circumstances) less you'll wanna be with him and him with you.

With regards to whether he'll agree or not is very different matter. If people tend to think that you two should be together then, they OBVIOUSLY see things that you do subconsciously (i.e. touching, other body language, finishing each other sentences etc).

If he is touchy feely person and seem to avoid making body contact with you then, he is obviously attracted to you but he is scared of expressing his sexuality. The reson he does touch you is because he actually cares about your reaction and is afraid that you'll reject him (he doesn't seem to be taking a chance at expressing his needs).

So over all, i don't think you should ask him out directly cuz if things dont turn out well then you'll be in uncomfortable situation seen that you share lotta time together cuz of your circumstances (work, same circle of friend). You can mention to him what people have been saying about you two being together and maybe you shuld give it a go and see what happens. Don't pressurise the asking out bit, cuz breakup (if that happens) will be awkward.

Now, where is my 10 points! lol
