takin it slow

I met a guy online about 6 or 7 weeks ago. His profile said that he wanted to take it slow. Well, everything is going great, he is a blast to hang out with and we are both really enjoying our time together. My question is, there is NO romance. (not even so much as a handshake). I am dying to kiss him, but is it appropriate for me to make the first move? or should I just wait it out? or is he sending me a message that we are just friends?

There is no law saying you can't make the first move, but just make sure you're prepared for the outcome (if he doesn't respond positively). Nobody here can tell you what he's thinking. Try not to read messages into his behavior. Don't guess at what another person is thinking or feeling, it always leads to trouble. You could just be subtle (a hand briefly left on his arm or back during conversation or in passing, etc), but in my experience guys do not pick up on subtle hints very well so do whatever feels comfortable to you, and as I said, be prepared for whichever way it goes. Good luck.
