Will my Aqua guy friend ever make a romantic move

How long does it take for Aqua guys to develop feelings for someone? I've been friends with an Aqua guy for a couple of years and recently developed feelings for him. We hang out one-on-one for long periods of time, have traveled together, shared personal stories, built trust, and developed a close friendship.

There have been moments where I feel he might be interested in me too - enough to give me the courage to tell him that I'm attracted to him. He reacted in an odd way when I told him I was interested in him - he looked like he might cry, hugged me, said he liked me too, and then became very awkward. He later apologized for this reaction and said he isn't great at processing emotions and he isn't sure how he feels.

His emotions seemed mixed and because of this, I gave space to the situation and let him be the one to contact me next. He texted me a bunch for about a week after I told him I had feelings for him. All were nice texts to check in on me and share funny stories.

We've hung out a couple of times since then and have had a good time. I stopped contact with him for about a month as to not seem overly invested or eager and partially because i thought i should move on. He got in touch with me recently and suggested we get together. It went well - and seemed like a date in terms of how it was set up - but there was no romantic contact other than a hug. He wants to hang out again.

Is it possible this will eventually lead somewhere romantic? Does he still just view me as a friend or is he testing things out to see if there could be potential for romance? I know Aquas take their time, but I can't tell if this will eventually lead to something or if I will be frienzoned forever. We have not talked about my feelings for him since the night I brought them up.

Thanks in advance for the insight.

Aquas can easily develop feelings, it's just that they are detached and suppress them with every square inch of their mind. It depends on placements.

I think that he is most likely testing you (seeing as he didn't do anything too romantic), since you didn't contact him for an entire month and he could be very hesitant on making a move.

He is probably interested in you, it's quite likely that you can get a romantic relationship out of it, just don't push him and give him some time to process what has happened. Aquas aren't too fast and we tend to act very awkward around people who we like, I mean, I can't even make an eye contact at times.

Since when is liking someone a requisite for making a move?

It mostly depends on the chances that he'll be rejected.

Try getting him used to your feelings by starting small like saying I love yous after conversations or how the date made you feel about him and just slowly increase from there ,so he knows it's okay to let go sometimes . This really helps from my experience the Aquarius I'm with ,would sometimes even end up surprising me by talking to me about his own feelings about me, this relationship or just general stuff.

Just always remind him it's okay to be vulnerable , it's okay to be real.^_^

Good luck~

Thank you! Your message was very helpful.

ayayay.....the aqua and virgo one on one gatherings.

Always sexual fantasies present but stiffled with insecurity on making the first move and fear from what it may do to the friendship, which is by my experience a very valuable friendship.

Thank you! You said that well. I completely agree and can relate.

Thank you!

If my Aqua on again-off again guy is anything like your Aqua, follow what @Mirahiheart said. My Aqua takes a while. Usually, I'll have to lead, and I won't expect that he'll reciprocate immediately. After a while, and without expectations, he'll be more vulnerable. I started out with a friendship foundation with him first before realizing that there was something more. All the best! They can be quite different than what a Virgo usually expects but one thing I love about my Aqua is how he's always there for me regardless of how neurotic I can be hahaa
