We are close..known him for years....we sext all the time..and flirt like there's no tomorrow. I'm actually getting a little frustrated. When we are around one another all we do is talk and stare in each others eyes. I value and respect that more than he will ever know. He's already gained my trust and my respect. He's not a shy guy around others, but he is with me. Why won't he just kiss me or ask me out on a date? I think I've made myself very clear that I'm interested. I've told him I have feelings for him..he responded that it's hard for him to open up. I told him that that was fine, and that I wouldn't push him...his reply was that he needed "help." lol...what do I do?
