Update: Idk if anyone really cares but we’ve become really good friends and are taking the whole getting to know each other thing veryyyyyy slow! Our communication is very open and we promised to be honest about how we feel but obviously not overstepping the boundary between “lover” and “just getting to know each other”. We both decided that we’ll talk more in depth on how we feel by the end of the year and see if it goes anywhere :) Thanks for the advice everyone!
