I want to take things to the next level with the guy I've been spending a lot of my time with recently, however, we have a complicated history and I'm not sure if he feels the same way I do. Basically, we dated briefly about 10 months ago after meeting online, but after a month where there was no physical intimacy, just getting to know each other, he said he had gotten cold feet and ended it. The strange part is that a week or two later we hung out like nothing ever happened, and since then we have constantly been spending time together (about twice a week, just the two of us) and have developed a very strong relationship. We do everything together just like a typical couple would only without the physical intimacy and the title of being a couple. I feel like we've come such a long way since we stopped dating and I can't help but wonder if he's developed feelings for me now…however, since he's already rejected me I don't have the confidence to bring it up to him.

 

I would really like to hear an outsiders opinion, so to keep it brief, these are some of the positive signs he has recently been giving me:

He always makes time to see me and initiates spending full days with me on weekends and holidays (he took the day off work to spend my birthday with me and take me for dinner)

He teases me and makes sexual innuendos

He compliments my clothes, hair etc.

He says he trusts me enough to tell me anything

He's never brought up any other women or his current dating life

He always plans date-like things like nice restaurants, movies, museums and most recently ice skating

He tells me I would get along well with his family, who live out of the state

He has never used the word 'friend' when referring to me

We've recently become more touchy with each other, but i still sense an awkward touch barrier between us

He's said in the past that he prefers to be friends first before dating

 

The reasons why I'm not so confident:

He recently 'hid' me from being able to see his online dating profile, which he seems to check a few times a week

He hasn't made a move/no physical advances

He rejected me 10 months ago

 

Are these hints that things are developing or could he just be under the impression that we have a really good friendship? If I had more confidence, I would certainly make a move, but I'm so confused and don't want to risk a good friendship. Should I risk it, wait for him or move on?
