That 7 months is already a lifetime when it comes to dating. What I mean is you would already know the true personality of the guy and vice versa. And if you are comfortable with your friendly relationship now I would say that you will be more comfortable once you take him into your heart. Love is something that cannot be fully explained, it is just a matter of feeling, like groping in the dark of wading in the water. Just go where your heart dictates you and throw caution into the wind. Remember, life is short so enjoy it while it lasts. And lastly, do not seek for a perfect relationship, much more a perfect guy because life is not a fairy tale.
