I matched with someone great on Hinge and we've been messaging for a few days. I'd like to move to a phone call but don't want to seem pushy. What's the right timing for suggesting a call versus keeping it to messages?
I was in this exact situation 3 years ago. Told my best friend how I felt - she didn't feel the same way at first. But after some time apart, she realized she did have feelings. We've been married for a year now! Sometimes it's worth the risk.
Test the waters first! Start with light flirting and see how they respond. Maybe say "You know, if we weren't such good friends..." and gauge their reaction before full confession.
I took the risk and it didn't work out. We tried to stay friends but it was never the same. That said, I don't regret being honest about my feelings - the "what if" would have haunted me more.
