Search Results: guys who stop talking

Should I reach out to him or do you feel it’s awkward and not appropriate?

Yesterday my mom was in town and we went out to a nice restaurant and our waiter was a nice guy who looks like he’s a tad younger than me but we are in our 20s.. he was very nice and he was a nice looking guy.

He was attentive and he told us some of his favorite things on the menu. He did a good job and maybe in the back of my mind I thought he was cute and maybe said it but didn’t really think anything of it.. just a guy doing his job..

He did make eye contact with me even when just talking to my mom.. He did ask questions and asked how I got here since I’m not from this state.. I told him I was an art teacher and I told him how I stopped teaching in December to pursue something else and he tells me he understands completely and he just changed his major in college… did a 180 from film media to production…

I could tell my mom was up to something.. but the conversation was nice and he said he could give us recommendations for things to do and he tried to see if there were any free art tickets to go to the art museum.

My mom embarrassed me and told him I need to meet people and hang out and she ask him for his number and she says “maybe you have friends you can hook her up with “

It’s awkward for me and I tell him that he doesn’t have to do that or feel obligated to and i apologized… it was kind of a pause maybe because it’s awkward but he does say sure and he writes his number down

But I don’t want to reach out because I don’t know if he really wanted to or felt obligated

Let’s say there’s a room empty save for 10 men, and they’re all talking about various things. One man makes a derogatory joke about women, the usual thing where the punchline is women are stupid/sluts/only useful in the kitchen.
Three men laugh at the joke, because a good joke is a good joke! They’re not going to let political correctness stop them from enjoying a good laugh.
The remaining 6 men are made uncomfortable by the joke.
Three of those six still laugh in a sort of uncomfy chuckle, they don’t want to be left out of the group even if it’s kinda gross.
The other three remain silent, they don’t want to encourage that kind of behavior by laughing at it. They change the subject.
At the end of the night, all ten men go home, the joke is not mentioned again. Who are the good men?
