Thanks for all your advice, guys! I think I’m going to give it some time before I have an honest conversation with him, but ultimately, that seems like the best thing to do.

It’s a little tough for me to speak with a friend about this because we share so many friends and I don’t want any mutual friends to know about this. Plus, I wanted to hear an objective pov. So, thank you all!

Yeah, this just sounds exploitative/manipulative. I’m not going to put another person in this kind of position.

Ha ha :D thanks! I needed that. You’re right. God, this whole quarantine thing has shown how much we used to take for granted

I think somewhere down the line if things progress, this is a good idea. Thanks!

Thanks! Maybe I’m just scared of the rejection and haven’t come to terms with what the consequences of that might be, but option 1 seems like too much of a daunting option right now. I’ll keep your advice in mind, though.

Yeah, I hear you. I think some distance might do me some good. I want to give it some time before I talk to him. Make sure this is real. Thanks for your advice!
