dating

so i heard my guy friend likes me. i just ignored it at first since this isnt the first time something like that has happened. but i started thinking ab me and him tg and i started liking the idea. i used to be obsessed with my ex but all i can think ab is him. we both told eachother that we like eachother and we have a thing for ab 3 weeks. his friends keep on pressuring him to do things like kissing me or asking me out but he says he doesn’t want to rush anything and he wants to do it when he decides. which i completely understand and respect. i am in 10th grade and his last relationship was in 8th grade and it lasted 2 weeks. so he’s not rly used to this stuff. he said tho that he doesn’t want to make a mistake by asking me out bc if he changed his mind he doesn’t want to hurt me. but he says he wants to be with me. i’m so confused on what he’s gunna do. he texts me everyday and is there for me constantly whenever i need him and is always making sure i’m happy and stuff. he always makes sure that we r hanging out on the weekend. he said he trusts me that i won’t do anything with other guys which i love since my last relationship was full of trust issues. i think i’m really starting to fall for him, i constantly think ab him and just would feel like the luckiest girl ever if he could be mine. but i’m worried that he won’t ask me out. what do u think he’s gunna do? any ways to make him want to ask me out more?
