Sean, confusion only happens when the other person hasn’t given you a clear “Yes.” If it’s not a ” Yes,” then for now, it’s a “No.” Don’t overthink it and ruin your peace of mind, ask directly or change signals!
You said, “I don’t want to make a move at the wrong time.” The truth is, there’s no such thing as the wrong time, only the wrong person. The longer you delay, the deeper you’ll fall into the friend zone.
I think you should make your position clear. Ask her out on a date that doesn’t feel like a friendly “hangout” but is clearly a date.
What’s your expert advice on this, AskApril? I’m waiting for your guide on how to handle this!
