[FONT=""][COLOR=""][SIZE=""]Three months ago, I matched with a guy on Hinge and we started talking. We have many things in common and have kept DMing each other for 3 months. We both spoke about plans like cooking at his apartment, going to a concert together, having lunch at our uni, etc. (we started talking when he was in a semester abroad so we didn’t have a chance to meet, he’s coming back in a few days). He also liked every story I posted, about me or any other things. He replied to most of them, too. So it's safe to say we've interacted a lot and have confided in each other for tons of stuff. However, I started to notice that he told me about a fling he had abroad (the story being related to another thing he was talking about), and he had ups and downs in communication, despite it being generally good. Last week, I spoke to him about what I was worried about: I asked him how he viewed our connection, to know if it was as friends. He told me that he didn’t give it much thought and he assumed we were friends since we didn’t explicitly talk about it. Moreover, he said he didn’t know that I felt that way about him and that he was sorry for creating a misunderstanding. We both agreed to stay as friends, but friends of mine have been telling me that he’s probably confused or something. I don’t know what to believe since I can’t imagine him only thinking we were friends since the beginning, it just doesn’t add up to me. I really like him so it would be great if I got out of this “friendzone”, if possible. I would like to know another person’s opinion, so if any of you could give me your honest insight I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks <3[/size][/color][/font][/size][/color][/font]
