I guess I've never been in love before, because society says that I should be feeling suddenly awkward and tongue-tied when we're hanging out together, but I've never felt so happy and at ease with anyone the way I am around him. So what exactly is that?

PS: I'm especially confused because when we're walking together in comfortable silence, I wonder what would happen if I just kissed him...or said something...because that's pretty much what I'd do if we weren't such close friends.

I hate how people are always tempted to break comfortable silences.

I'm one of those people, but damn, sometimes it's just nice to sit there and say nothing, but all both of you can think about is whether the other person is expecting you to say something.

I think the whole "being tongue tied" societal view only happens when you just happen to throw the construct of "crush" on someone before you really know them. If it's more of a slow "become their friend then fall in love with them" sort of thing, it's probably entirely reasonable that you're comfortable.

Love seems more friendly when you're completely comfortable with it. There's nothing wrong with comfortable silences!

I think love is when you completely trust the person. And if you're comfortable, then you obviously trust them. Tounge-tied and nervous, that's lust, or mere insecurity, I would imagine.

By breaking the comfortable silence, I didn't so much mean breaking it with something like "Gee, nice weather we're having"

It was more along the lines of "so are you free Saturday night?"

I say go for it, because someone on here deserves to be happy.

Yeah. The problem is that on one hand the whole thing could turn out with "Yeah, I'm free. What do you feel like doing?"

On the other hand, it could turn out to be "Um...no. I'm really interested in just being friends.", And lunchtime could get very awkward very quickly.
