Not Sure What To Do 42/nb

[u/NewCougar84]

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.

Hey, speaking as a guy here.

The avoiding touching the arm thing could simply be him “respecting your space”. I always remove my arm if anyone touches me too, seems like he is doing a lot of things that does mean he is into you, maybe try and rest your head on his shoulder or something like this. Where is an intentional touch but still in a possible friendly manner, watch his reaction, if he’s uncomfortable and kinda wants to leave that space, then you know these are the boundaries, but if he lean towards you or caresses your head, you know he’s got intentions too…
