Like a guy but not sure if I find him attractive

I've gotten back in touch with an old uni coursemate, who I was in some classes with for a year.

I hadn't seen/spoken to him for 2 years. At the time, I was seeing one of his friends for a couple of months, and we must have had about 2-3 conversations in the whole year. I always thought he seemed a nice enough guy, but just never really knew him well.

Anyway, for the last couple of weeks we've been messaging every day; although we haven't seen each other yet as I now live abroad and won't be back for a month.

However, I think I'm starting to like him. He's been flirting with me and telling me i'm pretty and stuff. I really like talking to him; he's very easy to talk to and we get on well.

However, I don't know if I'm 100% attracted to him. I mean this isn't the first time it's happened to me. Several of the guys I've liked, even my ex, I didn't really find them physically attractive at first, but as I grew to have feelings for them I grew to like their appearance more and more.

I'm also worried that he's just looking for a bit of fun; I've had enough of dealing with that over the years.

Should I give it a go with him? I think he is interested and I don't want to let him down/hurt him if he does like me but I just feel like I can't.

However, I just get butterflies now when I think about him, and really wnat to see him.

Should I try? Thanks

it kinda worries me that he's your ex's friend which doesnt sound right.

you clearly like him if you get butterflies when you thinks about him so why not give it a go.

what would you rate him out of 10?

thanks for the replies! Yeah.. with the ex thing, I mean I dated this guy for 2 months like nearly 3 years ago but it never became a serious relationship. Apparently he still speaks to this guy from time to time but that's all.. however I could imagine the ex being someone who would reveal intimate things.

I'd rate him 6? not sure really.. but yeah you are right, I obviously like him as I do get that feeling. I just confessed to one of my friends who knows him, who said he's cute and that we'd make a good couple! I think I will give it a go
