i’m 20f, hes also 20, and i dont know if hes just being really nice, or if hes interested in anything more than that. Theres so much backstory to our relationship that its kind of hard to summarize to put into context but ill try my best lol. we were good friends in highschool (2020-2021, theyre the only 2 years i was at that school), he got a gf and cut me off, fast forward to early 2023, they break up, we didn’t speak that whole time, but the we started to chat, then hangout, like every single day, sometimes on our own, sometimes with my friends, sometimes with his. i liked him at that point, but then some drama went on between other people because i liked him, then we didnt talk for a few months, then towards the end of 2023 and early 2024 we were hanging out again, same as before, every day, until i got a bf. i was with him from mid 2024, to literally a week into 2026, and we had a son together (this relationship was unhealthy but that’s a whole other story) during our relationship i still chatted here and there with this boy, my ex knew, it was only ever innocent, then once i split with my ex, me and this guy have been hanging out heaps since. we chat everyday, see eachother every day - every second day. he buys me and my son stuff, anything from some snack he picked up after filling his car up and dropping the snack to my house, or buying a toy or outfit for my son that i couldn’t afford. he helps with things if i need it, like cleaning my car for me. he’s never bothered with working around my sons schedule if we ever hangout, he won’t let me carry stuff if he can, he always makes an effort to help empty rubbish out of my car after we hangout, and heaps more. i also try make it clear that he doesn’t need to do as much as he does for me, but he always insists. he’s also made some comments that seem like hints, and probably will to anyone else, but i don’t want to point them out or question them because im too worried that im reading too far into it and ill make things awkward. i do like him, and i love being around him, but im not ballsy enough to say or do anything about it unless i’m so sure that he feels the same. submitted by /u/LycheeFirst8083
