i like this guy and i don’t know if i should make the first move

There’s this guy I’ve gotten super close to in grad school and I’m honestly struggling. We hang out all the time – we study together, go on long walks, get dinner, watch movies, hang out at each other’s apartments… like, we’re basically always together.

Last week, he even brought me to his family’s home in a nearby state. It was just us there, he showed me around the city, drove us around for hours, and we took the train back together. It honestly felt like something out of a rom-com.

But… we’ve never kissed. Never even hugged. And sometimes he calls me “homie” and I’m just like ?? What does that even mean in this context?? we’ve been hanging out like this since january

The thing is, I’m really starting to fall for him. And I don’t know if he feels the same or if I’m just reading into everything. We’re hanging out again this weekend with another friend and I’m torn between just enjoying it or trying to figure out what this is.

I don’t want to ruin what we have, but keeping this to myself is driving me a little crazy. Any advice?
