I'm in college and I met a guy at an outdoor concert. We had a good time together and he wanted to hook up after the concert but I wasn't comfortable with that. About a week later I invited him to watch a movie together and we ended up hooking up then. This was right before leaving for summer. We managed to talk a little bit over the summer but nothing much.
Then when school started we met up a couple times. The first time it was with my friends and we just got to know each other. The next time we went to see a movie and hooked up afterwards. Not wanting to stop kissing him, I let it go further than I had really wanted it to. Although I don't regret how far I went, this complicated the matter. We ended up going to see another movie together. During the movie I reached for his hand and we held hands for a while and then he put his arm around me. He walked me home and I invited him in. I planned to tell him I wanted to take things slow. He actually was the one to say he realized I wanted something more than just physical and was willing to wait until I was ready to have sex. I agreed but was surprised by what he said and thus didn't say anything more. We ended up making out on the couch and things once again went further than planned.
I cooked dinner one night and invited him over. This was meant to be something casual but turned out much more formal. Once again I planned on telling him my feelings and that I really did want to slow things down but that didn't happen. He assumed I just wanted a hookup and I didn't stop him. The next day I was going to a movie with some friends and invited him along thinking this was a good way to get to know him better while around others. I wanted him to hold my hand during the movie--it is dark!-- but he didn't. Afterwards, we split up from my friends and went for a walk along the beach. We ended up laying by the water and just talking. He would kiss me and hold my hand just while we talked. Then on the walk back to his place, he reached for my hand and then put his arm around me. I expected him to invite me up but instead he asked whether I was going to head back to my place. I said yes and he kissed me good night in front of his dorm.
So far our relationship has only been a weekend thing and mainly a hookup. I would like it to be more than that as I actually like him. How do I know whether he feels the same way and how do I change the hookup status to a relationship? I feel like I'm the one doing all the work and inviting him to everything. How do I change this?
We're a year apart and don't have any classes together. He lives in a dorm and eats in the dining halls while I'm off campus and cook for myself. Seeing each other during the week isn't that easy but I feel like as long as it's only the weekend, this won't go very far.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Please help me fix this very messed up relationship. I don't want just a hookup.
