Weird friend situation here, how shall I react? What shall I do?

You have partially answered your own question here. Go for a good smoochy kiss. If he should pull away at all, then you know that there is a way to go yet.

If he leans into the kiss, to prolong the contact, you will then know that he is keen too -go for it gal. Any less of a contact and your relationship may not happen through over cautiousness.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
