Well, I understand that guy. I'm oceans away yet always ready to jump on you!
Nah, seriously, it's up to you to decide. All we can do is advice. Part of me is telling you is go ahead. I mean, it's rather rare to have the spark and also reciprocated one. And as Graeme said, sometimes, we should take risks.
But then, it's about feelings. I wouldn't like any of you to be hurt. Or even ruin your friendship.
I think you should listen to Vic and tell him everything frankly. Then, talk!
Hope it works out!
Take care,
