Is my Cap guy into me?

I've been seeing a guy who is a Capricorn sun with a Pisces moon. It's a casual, friends with benefits kind of thing. Our relationship began as a prearranged one-night-stand. It's a long, funny, and kind of kinky story...but not appropriate, nor relevant. The thing is...we clicked. And it surprised the hell out of both of us. The night we met, we sat for hours just talking, about nothing and everything. Since that night, he has asked me over to his place nearly every night of the week. Sometimes we have...ahem...relations, but most of the time we talk, or even just sit in silence and enjoy the view from his veranda.

So the problem is, I think I am falling for him. He's amazing. Creative, independent, funny...not to mention EXTREMELY sexy (both physically and the way he carries himself). He's also introverted, a little bit nerdy (which is HOT), talented, and humble. He is also aggravatingly difficult for me to gauge in the emotional department...which, from what I know about Capricorns, is kind of par for the course. But recently he has been acting a bit differently, and I can't tell if he's just being "chummy" or if he's really into me.

He is still good friends with his ex. They broke up 5-6 months ago. Since we started seeing each other, he has talked on many occasions about getting back with her. I understand, and was aware of it from the beginning. If he chooses her, he chooses her...but then he said the strangest thing the other day:

Him - "I don't think my ex and I will ever get back together."
Me - "That's too bad. Why?" (That's me trying to play it cool)
Him - "I want to see if I can make it work with someone new."
Me - "Ya. I understand how it could be difficult to work it out with her."
Him - "It's not about it being too difficult, it's about the fact I already have my eye on someone new." Then he smiles his gorgeous, dimply smile and pats me on the head.

Really? Really? What does THAT mean?

He's also been more...cuddly? Cuddly isn't the right word. He is not a touchy-feely, hugs, and back rubs kind of guy. He's more of a sit-close-but-not-quite-touching kind of guy. But the last two times I've been over there, he has grasped my hand and held it after aforementioned "relations". For a fairly lengthy amount of time, actually.

Am I reading too much into his actions? Or is he starting to feel the chemistry too?

Just come out and bite the bullet, say that you like him and leave it at that.



Heck ya, I admit it! I REALLY like him! I just can't tell if HE likes ME.

Wait...or do you mean I should tell HIM that I like him. Because that seems kind of "in-your-face", and I don't want to scare him off...especially if I can't gauge where he's at on the subject.

What it sounds like is he is trying to gauge you. If neither of you is going to bite the bullet, then this is just a lost cause.

Well, if you do it, then you won't have to wonder anymore.

One of two things will happen:
1. He will return the sentiment and you two can move on into a real relationship.
2. He will not return the sentiment and you can get out now before you get in too deep with your feelings.

Either way, it's a win-win! Yes, even option #2 is a win-win because you will know and you won't be strung along wondering where you stand. Nip it in the bud as soon as possible, so you can either grow in the relationship or move on before you get hurt. That's the cap way.

Caps are and like blunt and honest. He will respect it.
