The only way you're going to know is to ask. But I'm not sure I get the sense that you really do want to progress in a relationship with him. Once you open that door, it's hard to shut it again. So I'd figure out what you want before you worry about what he does.

Des.. if I ask yes he will tell me but doesn't just volunteer up information. We have talked about being more than friends and this is the only thing he doesn't come right out and say...  I think what you are sensing is I am hesitant only because I am unsure of the situation at times and I'm not 100% sure he can or will fill my needs.  Though I will say I am not the most vocal and have issues talking and for me I am best if I can write things down but he isn't the reading type so not sure if we can/could get past some of the communication problems...

Whats that mean anyway "not the reading type"? Is he a dumbo? Redneck?... Cross eyed?
Reading is one of the best things ever invented! Literally.

Some people who are quite good readers dont like to read. Usually because they have a lot of reading to do in their professional lives.

Personally I love to read, and have a large personal library. What I consider blasphemy is these "E-readers" since if god would have meant for humans to read on electronic tablets, he would not have inspired Gutenberg to invent the printing press.

Status: offline 		Yer, I threw out/sold most of my books when I got into e-books, but now I'm starting to build up a library again, e-books have their place sure but having a real (hard cover) book in your hands has that basic human experience quality thats timeless.
Like the difference between records(LPs-45s-78s)... and an ipod...
Or maybe i'm just becoming a bit more discerning in my old age...

I'm not very good at talking but excellent at writing it all down.. just doesn't mess well together at times..

If you get a letter post marked Katmandu from him, a relationship is out of the question.

I got a letter from my high school sweet heart three days before we graduated... you know the kind, house, white picket fence, 2.5 kids, a dog....

I sent her my reply from boot camp a week later. The day after graduation I left for basic training in the army.

Status: offline 		It's a tough one, I wouldn't write a love letter to him if I was you... IMO feelings don't translate to words anywhere near as well as they do into actions...
Although I wouldn't particularly advise taking any actions either haha...
I'm firm believer in the ball being in the guys court... I think it was Ishtar who said she conducted an experiment in picking up guys, where she failed consistently by being the aggressor, but succeeded when trying more indirect methods.

Whatever the case, keep us posted

Status: offline 		LOL... Too late, he already has deduced my feelings for him. Called me out on it one night, saying how much he liked all the little things I do that show my love for him.

On the writing, not so much feelings as in love but more along the lines of things that bother me. I am trying to talk more not just write because I feel it is a skill I need to better develop, because I am the kind that will lay there in agony instead of saying something.

Status: offline 		I've been toying with the idea of setting up some kind of dictation thing so I could start speaking out my posts and writings rather than typing them... It would probably be a neat way of improving spoken thought articulation skills, I've tried it with Siri on my iPhone but she makes to many mistakes to make it viable.

I'm the same way. The adrenaline from being in front of a crowd makes me think clearer.

So....he knows how you feel then? Saves you from having to tell him!
