Met this guy at a summer internship. He is 18 and im 20. i can feel that there is chemistry between us.

-he was asking me to hangout with him one on one on a few occasions.

-Recently he was there for me when mourning a friend.

-He has started to sit with me at meals, walks with me everywhere, and got offended when i said he and i were still strangers.

-i notice that he is always adjusting his hair and clothes when i come near him and trying to seem really masculine.

At this point ive become attracted to him. We both text a lot throughout the day. And i got the impression that he’d want to go a step further. I think i may have rushed things tho because yesterday, I mentioned wanting to meet up with him to hangout (in the evening). I had been planning to kiss him for a few days now, assuming there is chemistry between us, and texted to him that we should at like 10:00pm to talk (because we work with kids during the day, and thats the only free time we get). It seems like I’ve scared off him a bit lol. He mentioned he was single and he only flirts with me and i know he’s not gay so i feel really bad.

I was preparing to not talk to him today and give him space, but He still talked to me today and tried to make me laugh, but he looked really nervous. Idk what to do and really miss our friendship.

Any advice?
