people think we're going out.. Options

[ilauqh]

i'm good friends with this one guy, i guess closer than most of my guy friends. everyone keeps asking us if we're in a relationship and it's really awkward when people ask both of us, together. at least when people ask me when i'm not with him, i can just say no and i don't have to worry about what his reaction is.. like him saying omgg ew no or anything. he usually isn't like so surprised people are asking though. i liked him a couple of months back and i kind of do still. i'd go out with him if he asked me but he seems like he likes me when he's with me but never really initiates going places or hanging out with me too often. he sometimes says, yeah we totally should hang out more.. but doesn't do anything about it. should i try to get us to hang out more or just let him do what he wants?

me and my best friend are sorta like that. there's rumours going around right now that we went on a date last night. (we went to see a movie with a few friends. nothing romantic.) even my parents think we're dating, and his are convinced we're going to get married someday. haha.

but it's all a matter of perspective. what does his friendship mean to you? are you friends with him just because you like him, or does he as a person matter more than your relationship with him? if you're just hanging out because of the sexual tension i can obviously see why you might not have the chemistry others think you do. but if you honestly want to be his friend before all else, then just stay that way i guess, and let whatever happens, happen.
