Friend or love?

[Tahara]

Hi,

 

I'm studying in university, and I've known this guy for a bit more than a year. I've known him through a friend, and my first impression of him is that he's a REALLY nice guy. So nice and perfect, it'd be impossible for me to get him, so I never had any hopes and never tried. Shortly after, he got a girlfriend, but broke up with her three months after. His ex told me that when they were still friends, she had to make the first move to ask him out, cuz he never seemed to make any effort. When I asked the guy why they broke up, he told me that they didn't really fit. Personally, I think his ex is a very friendly and nice girl, so I really never expected their relationship to end so fast.

 

I haven't really seen him since and it's been a year. A few months ago, I've seen him randomly on my way home from school, and he was depressed cuz he failed an exam, so I tried to cheer him up. On the day of Christmas, he started talking to me on MSN again, and we went to see a movie with another friend. Towards the end of the movie, I was hungry so I took a chocolate bar out, and he made me feed him a piece. That's when I started getting hopes in seeing us together.

 

Since we go to the same school, we often try to ride the bus together. Most of the time I'm the one texting him, but he never refuses and always seems happy to see me. When we're together, we talk about school, friends and what we've been doing. Sometimes he would hold my arm to make sure I don't fall, stare in my eyes for a split second too long, and he's always interested in what I say. When he says bye, he has this cute way of waving goodbye a second time right before stepping out of the bus.

 

The only problem is that I'm always the one suggesting we do something together, although he's never against it. I understand that he must be busy cuz he studies medecine, but it really makes me wonder if there's any future in our relationship. I feel insecure because his friends say he might not be very serious about relationship right now. I can see that his first relationship hasn't gone very well either, and I don't want it to happen to me too. But I don't want to lose him! At the same time, trying to figure out his intentions is really time and energy consumming. I'd really love it if we were to start on the V-day... What should I do?
