I need advise!!

Mattie

So I talked to my mom about how I have been feeling about my best friend and she fully supports. And she thinks he loves me the way I live him but is afraid to admit it because he’s afraid of losing me and my family. And for the first time ever he held my hand while we were in bed. He woke up long enough to grab my hand and fell back asleep. And he acts completely different when it’s just me and him versus me and my sisters and him. And I think he gets nervous to be alone with me cause sometimes he will go back to his house if it’s just him and I at night. I just really need some advise and opinions ladies
