Does he love me or is it just friendship?

[Lawrel]

Hey all! It's been around 4 years I know this guy and we are really good friends. We chat a lot with each other and he even sometimes flirts with me. Nothing bad, just sweet stuffs. Sends lots of kisses too. He even advises me and listens to all my problems. As I told you, he's a good friend. We've never been on a date or anything so far and whenever we had gone out, it was in big groups. Both of us love travelling and we've always been planning to go on a trip together. But when finally he has decided a trip, I'm quite nervous. I really don't know why. I want to, both go and not go for the trip. It's a small ship cruise trip to Michigan Island for 8 days and as usual it's a group thing. http://www.blountsmallshipadventures.com/index.php//where-we-go/2016-magical-lake-michigan?view=itinerary All our friends coming too. But I don't know why I'm getting too nervous. Probably I'm getting a bit more serious in this relationship and I'm scared that I'll end up falling in love with him and he'll not. But if I don't go, he will feel very bad, cause he planned this just for me, cause I love cruises and I've never been on one so far. I really don't know how to handle this. Do you think there's any chance he loves me or would in future?

Yeah I'd say there's a very good chance he fancies you! Good luck!

If you go, you'll have a great time with friends and maybe discover something new in yiur relationship with your friends. Friendships do change over time and all. And that's ok. Even if that change does not work out the way you'd think you'd want it to

But if you don't go, you'll never know, and you'll always wonder what woulda happened if you went. That you'd regret in sure.

I agree with the above. There's nothing to lose from going and seeing what happens, so just go for it and enjoy!

If you're interested, try to give him hints and he'll probably pick it up.

If you're not interested, then make it clear to him your relationship. Ask him if he likes you and then gently let him down, just say that maybe you're not interested in dating at this moment or something.

I think it's unanimous that you should go, relax, have a good time and see if anything develops. You really can't predict what other people are going to do but just take it as it comes. If it works, you win. If it doesn't, you don't lose anything.

He may love you as a great close friend by what you have said that is what it sounds like to me. Maybe the cruise will make your relationship go to the next step. Good luck if that is your wish to get closer and serious.
