What's the deal? Is he interested or not?

[Anonymous]

So there's a guy I know. He's a professional with a son he has 3/4 days a week, depending on the week. We hang out at the same spot, and we text sometimes.

Sunday night, I sent him a text and asked if he knew any places in town that would still be serving food. He made a suggestion and then said he had food at his house, if I wanted to hang out. I went over, he made me dinner even though he wasn't eating, and we watched a movie. We ended up falling asleep cuddling each other on the couch. I did sleep over that night.

The next night, he and I saw each other out somewhere and he sent me a text about 20 minutes after saying I was welcome to come to his place if I wanted. I did. We watched a movie. While we were cuddling, I could have sworn I heard him say, "I like you.. this feels good." But he wouldn't repeat it when I asked what he said, so maybe I'm going crazy.

Now I haven't heard from him since Tuesday morning. No texts or anything. I haven't texted him either, of course... but.. I don't know. What do you think? Is this guy into me?

He is thinking the exact same thing so get to work.

how?

[spartan55]

What do you mean?

[Asker]

"So get to work." I guess I just wasn't sure what you meant by that. Thanks for your answer, though!

I meant talk to him more IN PERSON AND Make sure he knows you like him.

[Asker]

Yeah.. I will hopefully be seeing him this weekend, so I'll definitely talk more to him and make sure he knows. Still haven't heard from him since Tuesday morning, but again, I also haven't texted him at all, so he might be thinking the same exact thing. And he is a busy professional and has had his kid since Tuesday, so no text probably doesn't mean no interest in this case. I'll take your advice and talk more in person with him. Thanks!

It's the only way. You can't build anything through text.

Why don’t you ask him straight up

[Asker]

I guess I'm afraid he'd say he isn't interested... I'm trying to let him take the lead here. We had a thing a year ago, and I was too clingy with him... so this time, I'm letting him take the lead and guide things. But it's driving me nuts not knowing what he's thinking.

Knowing is what you want. It’ll either go your way or it won’t. If it doesn’t at least you’ll know so you can stop wasting time and energy for a lost cause. Rejection is a fact of life
