    Hi everyone. I just got out of a relationship a couple of months ago. I haven’t gone on any dates and am not really actively trying to, but I am wondering if this guy I know is interested in me.

    We met a few years ago in college. We are both mid twenties now. We’ve always been friends on social media, but never really close friends in real life. He responded to one of my Instagram stories a few weeks ago and we have been chatting back and forth ever since. We went out for coffee a couple of weeks ago and ended up caching up and talking for a few hours.

    When he texts me, he seems super engaged – messages are long, he asks questions, etc. But, he will randomly stop responding or will wait hours (and sometimes even a day or two) to text me back.

    I made some cupcakes this weekend and posted them on Facebook. He asked if he could have some, and I said he could come over and sample them. He then asked me what kind of sweet stuff I liked. I told him that lately I really liked hot chocolate lately.

    So he came over tonight and I gave him some cupcakes. He ended up surprising me and giving me a nice tin of hot chocolate mix in exchange for the cupcakes. He also stayed and we chatted and talked for about 3 hours.

    I’m still not sure what the vibe of our hangouts is. I don’t know if he sees this as more of a friend thing or possibly more?

    What do you all think? Also, what would you do to amp up the flirting or to gauge his interest?

    Thanks!

    Hi Claire
    You just got out of a relationship and before jumping into another you should make sure you are ready. The fact that you are already questioning this guys actions comes across as “anxious”. I don’t see anything wrong in getting to know this guy and setting the pace on how you want things to progress. As long as you don’t sleep together and see how his actions are then I wouldn’t put too much thought into it.
    Has he asked you out on a real date? Has he asked you about your current situation? Don’t put too much thought into the texting either, what his current situation?

    Elvira gave you some good advice regarding the mental place you’re in right now after the end of a relationship.

    And yes I think he is interested in you — he might be taking it slow, who knows!

    But whatever you do, go into it with eyes wide open. Understand where you are at in your mental and emotional health and what you want from the guy before diving into this one. It’s nice that you know him from your past but in my own experience whenever I would break up with someone, it was like something was in the air and any past guys who were even remotely interested in me would come out of the woodwork. Just be careful, do what’s best for YOU. ;) Best of luck!

    Thank you both for your input!!

    I actually and doing pretty well post breakup. I just not into healing and self care mode immediately after it happened, so I have really worked hard to get to a pretty good space with it all. I also went to therapy and worked through things there.

    I just don’t want to miss out on a great guy if he could be interested in me! Haha even though I would take it very slow if he was interested.

    What should I do next?

    Why does it have to be something?

    He has a life of his own and seems like a very sweet, very thoughtful detail oriented guy who is interested in getting to know you. I wouldn’t get too attached to the idea something more will come of it. You’ll have to watch his actions with you. His words need to line up with his actions. He may like the idea of something with you and that’s why he is talking to you. If you pressure him with “where is this going?” Questions or become too intense you may scare him off.

    My advice is don’t get too caught up in your head picking him apart and let nature take its course. He could be wasting your time… you have a life of your own to live. Put you first.

    If the guy is taking 2 days to respond he is not interested. Stop initiating anything(like inviting him to your house?!) and you will have your answer- based on HIS! actions further
