הכרויות סקס|אתרי זיונים

Okay so 3 months ago I (25F) started volunteering at the library, for context I live in a rather large city and have pretty much no dating experience. I was only going once every other week but I saw this really fun super nerdy guy who I thought was cute. After about a month I started going every week and just very recently I started going twice a week. It wasn’t until the last month or so that we actually started chatting, We talk and have fun every time I go! I sent him a friend invite on Facebook and just recently he friended me on discord (yes our local library has a discord lol!)
My friends keep saying I should just ask him out because it’s super obvious that he likes me and he probably won’t ask me cause he’s too shy. But I feel like things are progressing naturally and I don’t want to take any leaps yet cause I’m enjoying where we are. But they said if I take too long he’ll lose interest or something? And that’s it’s silly to wait when he’s so obvious, but I’m not in a rush or anything…
I’d love to hear others thoughts on this!
