Relationship Advice?

[Zen]

We're both pretty shy to be honest - I think that's half the problem, because I know the odds are good that he'd be too shy to just say he liked me if he did, and I'm not exactly super stoked about the concept of having to say it myself XD But then, because he's like that I'm also more worried about scaring him off - if it was anyone else I'd be pretty okay just blurting it out, seeing how they feel and then moving on, but with him I feel like if I've mis-judged the situation he's gonna be incredibly freaked out and revert to full shyness with me again.

Oh mate! That's a real shame, sounds like things could be good if you were able to talk about how you both feel. I know alcohol isn't always a good thing but it sounds like he is able to relax and enjoy being around you when he's had a few drinks. I dunno, might be interesting to chat with him when he's being affectionate. Good luck mate, hope things work out :-)
