What does it mean when a guy says he is “playing it cool” with a girl?

[Anonymous]

He told me she was into him and he was texting her. But he asked my opinion if he should go for it or not. After a while he said “I’m just going to play it cool”. I asked what he meant and he giggles and hung up! Lol

what did he mean?

He either doesn't know what to do next, or he doesn't like her enough yet to proceed.

Well that’s what he was asking me. He did know if he should go for it or play cool. And he decided he’d play it cool

Did you end up dumping your boyfriend for him or what?

[Asker]

Lol nope. We’re still good pals tho.

[Coulis]

Ok. Was just curious. Glad you're happy.

It means he's not rushing things.

[Asker]

So he’s not that into her?

[Unknown_User7]

He is into her , but he's not trying to force anything... It's like he's going with the flow and see how she reacts.

[Asker]

:( Oh. I was hoping he was into me.

[Unknown_User7]

I figured lol

Why didn't you make it known that you like him?

[Asker]

I have a boyfriend... yeah... lol dont judge me lol
