Hi Guys...
I need some real advise as to how I should handle this dilemma. I'll try and keep it short and simple...
Backstory: I'm 28 yrs old..bi curious (although most of my sexual experiences have been men with the same sex). My current barber and I went to the same highschool but were not cool back then. We just ran with different crowds...about 3/4 years ago we ran into each other and shortly thereafter I became one of his clients. He now has a daughter by the girl I dated when we were in school.
Today: Over time our barber/client relationship evolved into a friendship..to the extent he was very supportive as I built my business and served as a pillar of strength when things got dauting. One day,after he finished cutting my hair, I paid him and instead of the usual "I'll see u later," I hugged him. I was totally embarrased (although I didnt have feelings for him). As he's preparing to open his own shop, I've been there supporting him and primarliy helping with the interior design...but the other week while on the way to the shop, he hugged me and positioned his hand around my waist...I thought it was strange, but kept moving.
To celebrate his accomplishment I texted him saying that I'd treat him to anything he wanted and his reply was "Dont saaaaaay that". After some witty banter, he finally settled on a massage which we've scheduled for this friday.
My question: What's going on here?! I'll admit, I've developed "feelings" for him, but I'm still tryiing to figure out which side he's on. Do I put myself out there? How do engage this more? Should I? Heeeeeelp
