    Friend or romantic interest?
    I have been interested in a man for 5 months now and do not know how we stand. We dated a couple times in the first month and we get along great. Our dating turned into "hanging out" and watching TV, eating dinner but never any romance. We now are business partners. He is the owner and I am the manager of a jewelry business. We attend meetings together, he is always polite and listens/acts on my suggestions. He gave me a cell phone early on in our friendship and we share a plan now. I have fallen in love. How do I know he is interested other than the business. He DOES share personal info. With me about his family and asks me about my personal life. Sometimes he hugs me when I leave and sometimes he kisses my cheek. I want to spend time with him but he does not ask me out anymore. When we are together we get along great and I let him talk to his heart's content. I don't know what to do. Has he lost his interest or is he just being careful taking it slow? He also takes care of his Mom and works a job that is REALLY difficult and hard on his health. Help!

    Hi Natural Health! Welcome to AMHD! :)

    Well, I suggest that you post it in the relationship board.

    I'm not really an expert in that but my suggestion is:

    Ask him out, on a day you know you won't be disturbing him, his work or his family. That would relieve him a little from the stress of work and other problems. In that intimate moment, you could ask him safely, how he feels about you etc.

    Ok, I must say again that I know nothing of that stuff, but that's what I would have done in your place.

    Good Luck!

    Read the signs: if you have to "guess" what your relationship is... you are not in a good one!
    Any man who loves a women will make sure she knows it! Read the book now... and He's Just Not That Into You. Build a bride and get over him.. more on. That person is not the right one for you, dear. Good luck

    Hello.

    I wonder if he has reconsidered since you have become business partners..
    More to lose if it does not work out.

    If you do decide to broach the subject I would suggest you don't show your hand too soon.

    If it turns out he is not interested in a romantic relationship perhaps you should consider your friend status with him and keep your relationship purely professional,if only for the sake of your own heart.
