how to take it to the next level...

At the end of last term this guy told me he liked me and wanted to see me over the summer,-we'd pulled a couple of times before but always after alot of drinks, and this last weekend a group of us met up for a couple of days to catch up- including me and him. During the day it was more like being friends-we talked and joked around lots, and it wasnt too awkward unless we were left alone in which case he became really shy and seemed unsure of what to say. When drunk one of the evenings we pulled, and all the rest of our friends there seemed to think something was going on between us. I really like him but neither of us has been in a relationship before- i don't want to freak him out and def prefer taking things slower- but a large group of us are meeting up again next week (their better friends with him but i was invited too) and I'm not sure whether to talk to him directly about 'whats happening between us' when there and just ask upfront what he wants to happen, or to ask if he wants to meet up just the two of us later on in the hols, or to make an extra effort to act 'couply' in front of his friends or to just carry on the way it is and see what happens.... wait for him to make a move again...?! its really confusing me because i really like him and don't want to mess things up.

Hmm.. if he's shy but okay when he's drunk then it'd suggest that he was shy because he felt something for you. In that case, i'd leave it a little while so that he can just get used to you, when he's ready he'll talk to you.

Meanwhile, I suggest you carry on being flirtacious and letting him know with major signals that you like him and that way he'll realise he has no need to be shy.

When he's ready he'll make the move, boys can be like us girlies sometimes and not know what to do either. If you suggest that you like him too then maybe he'll just give you what you want :biggrin:

Good luck, x
