Let's see if I am reading this correctly, you were friends for years, have been dating a year with casual physical contact and you have talked about this twice.?

Obviously you are both slow moving, hesistant ppl... should I say give it more time, or do you want me to say, do some more talking about this!? Does he talk about it, or avoid it, or just doesn't seem like it's a high priority?

Welcome to our forums, btw.
