OK, so... [WARNING if you don't like pathetic posts/threads, close now!]

I've just broken up with a boyfriend of 3 months, who I took about 3 weeks to get with after a boyfriend of 2 years, who himself I got with only about a month or so after a boyfriend of 3 years (!).

What can I say, I guess I work fast. I'm no stunner, no slapper, no chaser - but these things happen. Don't regret any of them.

Anyway, back to the point - for the first time in forever, I have a crush on someone! As opposed to someone nice just turning up at the right time. I've had a soft spot for this one since I met him really, but it became more of a crush in Jan/Feb when he popped up in a few dreams where he kissed me (while I was still with the ex-ex, whoops).

He's always been a mate, in our group we've gone out on the town together, drunk quiet pints together, he's often come into my (uni hall) room for a natter, and vice versa. I've had a sneaking suspicion he might like me from time to time, depends how confident I'm feeling...

I thought he was leaving town, so I found another boyfriend (the now ex, not because of this, though), but now it turns out now he'll be sticking around for 2 or 3 years!

He isn't back in town now for another two weeks, then it's off-and-on until uni term starts, I think. We're going to be living in the same house for a year - convenient but could be difficult if it goes wrong...

OK that's all the background (still with me? Good).



Now my question to all you lads is:

If you were him, and I was someone you maybe didn't think too hard about but probably wouldn't say no to, which of the following would you prefer?

A) Me coming straight out with it: "I fancy you, want to go out?"

B) Slowly but surely increasing my time around you, making the odd innuendo, getting close on the sofa when watching telly, getting to know you more and you me more... Until it gets to the point where a flirty comment or hug just tips it over the edge and it turns into kissing.



I'm leaning towards B, because I think it sounds dead romantic and hopefully tensions will be running so high that the kiss will be amazing...
...where's the blushing smiley when you need it...

p.s. Where can I pick up these dream invasion machines they sound effective!
Hheheeh, hell yes!

Though I think the soft spot I already had for him affected the dream somewhat!

Hrrm, I'd like to think he knows me well enough that he won't get the wrong idea. I'm not the type for a one-off...
...as for him getting someone else - bloody hope not, he's been single for long enough, Sod's Law better not hate me and give him a girlfriend in the next couple of months!!!

EDIT: Simonnn that has occasionally made me think. But while single, all I do is try and spot who's next. Bit distracting tbh!
 
Even though B gives me the opportunity to test the water and then back off if he's obviously not interested?

Right, off out, will have this going round my mind all night probably.... blah.

I’ll say two things.

One – “We're going to be living in the same house for a year” – whoa there Nelly; that sets a very bright red light going in my mind! Getting squishy with someone who you will be living with for the next twelve months is a high risk activity. If it goes wrong, you are so far up the creek your paddle has swum off on its own. Scenarios like ‘rejection… followed by very loud intercourse in the next room with his new lady-friend’ are grim ones to contemplate.

However! If you do genuinely like him, that shouldn’t discourage you completely. It is simply worth being aware of what you’re getting yourself in for.

Two – in light of the above, option ‘A’ could be very messy indeed. Option ‘B’ basically reads like ‘wait and see’ which is probably the best advice; chill out and see what happens. If the opportunity arises, you can go for it, but forcing the matter might scare him away (which would be even worse in light of the fact you’ll be stuck under the same roof).

This one had made the most sense to me so far...

I like the wait and see...

Basically I know what'll happen, I'll get all cosy and flirty for a week or two, see if he's fine with that, then we'll go out and get ****** at some point (probably in a small group) and I'll get the confidence to corner him and say something.

Then, the next day I'll be scared of seeing him, he'll be all confused, then in another day I'll have punched a pillow/pinched myself/bitten my tongue, and probably ask him for sure. Or just steal a kiss. Somehow.

I dunno. It's going to be fun finding out though :D
 
Well, he's been single for at least a year (as long as I've known him) and doesn't appear to be in any rush, so for the moment I'm not worrying about that...
