I met this guy at a fun gathering two weeks ago. We talked and we could tell that we were really attracted to each other. We really bonded. I haven’t bonded with someone like that in a very very long time. My friend, at the same gathering, hooked me with him and told me that he was a guy that was really looking for a girlfriend. So we exchanged contacts and later found out that we live in the same area (10 minutes apart). We have met four times, all at my place. We haven’t hanged out at his place, he asked me once to go to his place but I declined since it was very late. We haven’t gone out. Two of the times that we have met, we have kissed. Just kissing, nothing more. However, we haven’t talked about the kissing. Friday was the last time we saw each other and we had the most amazing time of all the times we have met. He sang and danced for me and it was memorable. Since then, we haven’t met again. Yesterday, he had told me that when I am free I should tell him so that we meet. So, I called him at around 7 pm to meet and just say Hi but he told me that he couldn’t make it coz he wanted to meet with his friend. I was kinda upset by that coz if he is into me, isn’t he supposed to find at least 10 minutes to meet and just say Hi? considering we hadn’t seen each other for days. Today too we haven’t met. Also, his chatting is very poor. He doesn’t say good morning or goodnight. And it’s generally boring since he asks questions that answers are generally obvious.
My pattern with men before has been this: we hang out in the house for a week or two, we get intimate, he asks me to be his girlfriend after one or two weeks, we are in a relationship. We break up after some weeks. I will be lucky if I ever get a date or gift before then.
Now, my query is this…is this guy truly into me or am I over my head? Is he going to ask me out ever? Or is this going to be like the same pattern of guys who don’t ask me out like before? What does the kissing mean? Why doesn’t he chat like normal people do, or is it another sign that he is not into me?
He is a really nice guy. I just know that I’m poor at knowing a guys intention for me till I’m already in a relationship.
Ps: we are both in the same campus. Same years. Different courses though.
I want to get it right for once.
Help a girl out. Thanks in advance.
BrookeYou have to slow down.
You are not his gf yet so good morning and goodnight text doesn’t necessarily need to be expected, it is just a plus if there is.
Also, you met on Friday and had a memorable time together, it is okay to give that breathing space to consume the moments and let him think a bit. This is how guys process their feelings.
You say you’ve met a few times and kissed but haven’t gone out? Do you mean like you haven’t gone to a restaurant or a movie or out in public? Because those little meet ups where he danced and sang sounds like a fun realistic date to me.
I feel like you want things to proceed but you’re rushing it. Allow him to come to you. This is how you will know.
I don’t know for sure what’s this guy’s intention but so far it’s not a red flag to me. If you want it right this time..don’t rush anything. Stop expecting because you will be dissapointed. Get to know HIM instead of only thinking about what he has and hasn’t done for you. There is no timeline right now. Let it naturally evolve. You don’t have to sleep with him. Also if you want to be more outdoor, you can talk to him about wanting to go somewhere specific and see if he makes this a plan with you.
You also said you feel like you’ve bonded, use that to get to know him more. Take your time.
ZoeHe is not into you. No guy will pass on a date with a girl he really likes.
Besides, why are you agreeing on home dates so early? and two, why are you doing so much initiating?CherylI think the problem is with me. I feel him so much that I can’t think straight.
RavenDo 50 pushups… You think I’m joking, but I’m not. You need to go do something besides pine over this guy…
KimYou’re definitely overthinking things and getting to invested to early on. You’ve only been out a few times. He probably is giving some breathing room as someone I think has already mentioned. In this early stage you don’t do the initiating and chasing. If he’s truly interested in getting to know you better let him take the lead. Nothing worse than a girl chasing a guy. It looks desperate.
Do things to take your mind off it. Hang out with your girl friends and spend time with family.
