About four months ago I started getting to know this guy I work with. We talked a lot at work & pretty soon it turned into flirting. After a friend commenting that he seemed interested by how he lingered at work to talk to me I gave him my number in case he "ever wanted to do something." He did call me right away and asked me to a movie with him and we've been hanging out/dating? ever since then, usually at least every other weekend for the past few months (he is extremely busy with juggling a full college schedule as well as many hours of work). He always pays for me and walks me to my car and we both have a great time, but I'm wondering what is going on because he never makes a move...all I get is a warm hug at the end of the night. He's 5 years older than me so I wonder if this might have something to do with it, but he shows interest in many ways like talking to me on the phone for long periods of time and sitting with his arm touching mine at the movies. What he hell is going on?

Just friends.

This is very strange! He's acting like a boyfriend but hasn't made a boyfriend move yet. Next time you go out, make it very clear you want to kiss or something. And don't leave it till the end of the night, when all the tension builds and he could get nervous. Give him a kiss on the cheek or something during the date, or take his arm or hand when you're walking somewhere - use crossing a busy street or a scary movie as an excuse.
If you are underage, that could be the reason he's held back, as he should. Wait till you're 18 if that's the case.

I think he has definitely gone past the friends stage, but isn't quite in the dating stage. He is definitely showing interest, and so have you. If you really like him, show a bit of initiative and give him a light peck on his cheek the next time you get the warm hug. That might be the push you need to start the relationship. Good luck.

Men tend to be a little dense and cowardly. Ask him if he is interested in taking the relationship to the next level. If not either enjoy the relationship as it is or break it off. If he does then you need to have figured,BEFOREHAND, what it is to do. You brought it up so he will be looking to you to lead where it will go.

your more than just friends but you aren't dating. simply complicated. the intensity will increase over time. however if you are the impatient type, then ask him if you guys should go out, or if youre even going out at all.
