I hope things work out for you two.sounds like he does care for you.if you are that interested in him,why dont you just ask him out.i am the one who approached my DH,he is so shy that he would have never asked me out.we have been married going on 4 years.BTW, we dated for about 18 months and had lived together from shortly after we met, i got tired of just living together and told him that if he did not marry me in 6 months that is was over. he waited till his time was about up and then said,Why dont we get married, LOL,guees what, we got married 2 days after that.
what i am trying to say is GO FOR IT, and dont be scared.if he is anything like my wonderful DH your gonna have to do something or its not gonna get done.please keep us informed.
