How can I keep his interest?
I have been talking to this guy for about three months now.. I would not say that we are dating but I know that he likes me because we talk everyday and have maybe around hour long conversations every night which is extremely unusual especially for both of us since we are in graduate school and have no time for anything.. We also see each other almost everyday outside of school and he likes to come over and bring a movie.. or go and sit with me when I am studying. And he does the sweetest little things for me all the time which I'm not going to get into.. My point is.. From observing his personality I can tell he is the type of guy that likes a challenge. It seems that he would want something just because he can't have it so I am afraid that he will get bored or not try as hard once our relationship gets to the next level.. I mean, we haven't even kissed yet.. and he really does not know me because he thinks that I am so innocent... Like he is going to corrupt me or something... even though that is very far from the truth.. I want him to keep thinking that and I don't want to rush things.. but I know how these things go and if I continue with the way things are.. we might get in the friend zone.. and I don't want that.. But at the same time.. I don't want to admit my feelings for him , which are extremely deep , and I don't want to get into a relationship with him because of school. He doesn't try to kiss me or anything like that.. the last two times we watched a movie, we cuddled but only because it was cold.. and we give each other extra long hugs goodbye.. This is about as much contact as we have had. I know he probably thinks I have a crush on him because of how we flirt and the way I look at him. And he is contstantly giving me compliments... I mean he is so perfect right now its too unreal... I literally have been imagining him all of my life.. and its like the guy in my mind came to life.. However I have been in plently of relationships and know things can change fairly quickly... You pretty much teach people how you want to be treated.. My questions is... Based on what I have said.. what can I do.. to make him want me more and more but at the same time not evolve things to a boyfriend/girlfirend relationship, and not get bored... and also on another note.. Its really hard for me to stand next to him without literally jumping his bones.. I think I'm going crazy.. It's getting really hard controlling myself.. When he looks at me in my eyes I stop breathing.. And I am also really scared that if we do get into a relationship, I will most likely lose him.. Id rather be just friends anyday then lose him all together. He helps me out so much in school and so many other ways. I don't know what to do.. Sorry for the length of this question.
