I really need some love advice. And this is a semi long story so please read through. It was my friend's birthday today and me, my brother, and our friend went out to pick this guy I'm friends with up. Me and him used to date (kinda) and ever since the breakup kind of thing he's been pretty scared and such. But of course I need some advice to see for sure. Anyway, tonight me, him, my brother and our friend went to eat at a restaurant then we went back to my brother's place to hangout. He was obviously flirting by poking me with a stupid item from my brother's room. But after a long while he finally gave in and let me take it away from him. After I took it with my right hand, I grabbed his hand in my left and started rubbing it gently. It wasn't sexual at all and I know he's against sex before marriage. Is there any reason he wouldn't want to hold my hand / let me hold his? Also, how could I try to make myself more open to him? I don't want to be scared to say how I feel but I'm always scared to say the wrong things and screw it up. Thanks in advance.
