I asked my 27f friend 31m of 10years out a few months ago, he initially said yes but was worried about long distance as we both work away, he then became distant for a few weeks, went back to normal but didn’t address me asking him out or suggest a date or anything, was his initial yes letting me down gently?
(I didn’t suggest a specific date just said we should go out sometime) do I bring it up with him again or do I just accept his lack of bringing it up to begin with as his answer, I really like him and think we’d be a good match.
TLDR
Asked my friend of 10 years out, don’t know what the next move should be

Any person who is interested and wants to start a romantic relationship is going to follow thru and pursue it as well. You made the overture and he shot it down. He’s probably hoping you forgot about it. I think if you bring it up again, it will damage the relationship long-term. I can guarantee he didn’t forget about it. And you don’t want to be someone’s “maybe “option. There should be a whole hearted yes from someone you want to pursue a relationship with.
How clear were you? You need to make it very obvious.
