This is your classic nice guy. Chances are 99% probable that he wants it to be more than platonic. Problem is he doesn't know how to escalate sexually or is too scared of being rejected if he does make a move. It's unfortunate because he doesn't realize that his hesitation is only increasing his chances of being stuck in the friend zone, an all too common result of this type of behavior.
You can do two things to help move things forward:
- Guys are terrible at picking up signals, so in order to reassure him that he has a green light, you need to make your signals much more clear and obvious. Hopefully, he'll realize that it is safe to go forward and will make a move.
- Or you could make it real easy for him and just make the first move yourself.
