I have a novel idea. Ask him.
Every guy is different, but if it were me, I would need you to ask me out. I’m not gonna get subtle hints.
See if he wants to do something with just the two of you. If not, stay friends. It’s a win-win.
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
take a chance ruin the friendship otherwise you miss the chance to date him. if you’re not direct about ur feelings, he might like someone else.
just tell him how you feel about him and see if he reciprocates. pretty simple.
it could be as easy as “hey “my good friend” i think i kinda like you. ever since i started planning this trip with you i can’t help but get excited whenever i think about you” type shit you kno
Ask him. If he’s single and still interested in girls he’ll say yes.
I also have a novel idea…Ask him!!!
I just have to ask, why do you think we can have even a remotely relevant opinion when we know quite literally nothing about this person *nor* about you, except your ages, that you’re friends and you have in fact been teenagers at some point in your life.
He could have gone ever since your night together all those years ago and waited for you, madly in love. Or he could have thought “shit, *big* mistake, never again” after that hook-up. Or anything in between. Nothing in your post gives us any indication.
This cannot be a serious question.
Yeah. He wants to take you to pound town. Put the moves on him when you are on the trip.
