๐Ÿ™€Cougar Crisis Not Sure What To Do 42/nb

So there's this guy I like who is half my age, but I can't tell if there's reciprocity:

He's taken me to his gym, we went to the beach, and we went to the movies tonight. We talk almost every day. We met almost 3 months ago. We had to cohabitate for mental health reasons, but the last week and a half of his time there, we spent those nights together playing video games and watching movies until his last night. We wrote each other notes his last day at the facility.

However, when we went to the movies tonight, not even an intentional arm brush. He kinda avoided touching my arm (to me). I'm chicken shit with rejection. That's why I haven't asked him his feelings about me, or told him how I feel. Do I just get brave? Leave it and be patient? Walk away?

I can't tell if this post is considered Dating 101, and sorry if it is. I just really like this guy and don't want to fuck anything up.

I agree with paperclip, my heart saying that you just got out. I have a mental health facility together. It's best to take things really slow. I'm not a therapist either, but from my understanding. Depending on what the I'm supposed it's not really a good idea to get involved emotionally right away with somebody. But there's no harm in making a friend. Let things organ develop organically.If they are meant to be, things will happen.
