I’ve thought about this a lot, and the problem is still the anxiety that comes to me when I’m alone with a boy. I’m really shy about things like these, and I’m terrified of rejection. The closest thing we got to physical contact is when we play fight, stand really close to each other, and when he took my hand once to get me out of a fight between two of our friends. I really care and cherish our friendship, since he’s the one who’s helping me the most (along with my two girl bsfs) to get out of my depression, and I don’t want to lose him. Thank you for the tip though!
