I met a great guy a few months ago and we instantly clicked. We started out as friends but we really connected on a lot of levels, had the same interests, we got along really well and generally had a similar demeanor and ways of doing things (oh the chemistry). Anyways, one day a few weeks after we met, we just found ourselves holding hands while hanging out. He went away on a trip and started texting me, that he missed me, just a few weeks after we first met. At a party a week later, we ended up kissing and he spent the night (nothing happened other than some kissing). About a week after the party, he broke this whole thing off because of the age difference between us. He's still in a college and I've been out of college for 3 years. He said, for now it's best to be friends since we're in two different life stages. We didn't talk for a while, it got awkward for about a few weeks, and now all of a sudden he got a hold of me again lately and we've been hanging out a lot again... for hours at a time. It's always been really fun to see him. But I can't help but wonder if this is purely platonic. Is this a recipe for another incident like before? We weren't planning on dating in the beginning - it kind of just 'happened.' After you crossed the lines of being friends, can you really go back? I'm so confused right now.
