I’m 23 F, My best friend is 30M. We have very strong and honest feelings for each other in the romantic sense. He does have anxiety due to past relationships and hasn’t dated in 3 years except for two dates a while back. But, he is not the hookup type and wants something real. Our feelings have been escalating over the past 2 months extra strong, and he said he may be ready one day soon to take a leap and begin dating me, but it just hasn’t happened yet. I’ve been “cool” and taking it slow and patient because of his anxiety, but how long is too long? If he hasn’t made a move by let’s say, end of September.. should I? Or should I just have a very open serious talk about it?
