Okay, I'm a 20 yrs old and I adore a guy who is 30. ALSO, when I first met him I couldnt stand him to save his life. Well I've know him now for about 9 months now and CLEARLY these feelings came out of nowwhere for him. From what our co-workers say they all know that he likes me and I like him. (But I dont work there anymore) He dosen't act 30 (cause he still acts young, but is extremely responsible and truly push people to be the best that they can be) and I am 20, a college student who dosen't accept failure AT ALL but I am extremely mature. ANYHOW, I've noticed that when there was a full crew at work, he's quiet, reserved and keeps to himself, but when it's just me and him there at night, he talks to me and flirts with me and acts completely goofy. I was the manager of where we work and I used to get off of work late so just to ensure my safety he wouldn't leave until I am driving out the parking lot. But the thing is, it's like we look into eachothers eyes and there's both something we need to say but we dont know how. We've both been hurt really bad and we both are very try when it comes to this dating stuff. We had awesome chemistry and we are taking things very slow (which is good)... I'm already falling for him but I can't help it... I mean, when we're together, he always finds his way to stand close to me, and he touches me in non-provcative ways (like pokes my waists, and massages my shoulders), anything I ask him to do he does for me, he's a gentleman but isn't afraid to be himself around me... and I just truly appreciate him. He listens to me and asks me how I'm doin and always tells me to have a good night. What should I do? I mean what's holding us both back? The age difference? The race differences (cause I'm black and he's white)If I go for him, how do I get him to open up... like I text him to let him know I am thinking about him but he dosen't reply... I'm thinkin cause he's sooo shy. So please any advice, thoughts, feelings and emotions would be helpful to see whether I should pursue this him...
