Does this guy seem interested in me or is he just being friendly cause I don't know?

[Anonymous]

I don't know whether to respond to him or move along

[Guy13]

Yes. Go for it. Risk and Reward or No Risk and never know !!!

[Asker]

I think he has a gf… so I don't know if he’s trying to be friends or what

[Guy13]

Ask about girlfriend. If he has one go the other way so that he knows friends are his only option 💪

[Asker]

Yeah he has one

[Guy13]

Time to cut that communication by half so his little fantasy gets terminated... And he gets rewired for friendship !!

[Asker]

I don't know how to respond to him now lol

[Guy13]

Understand Quickie...
No Dickie...
That ought to "solidify" thangs...

[HollyK21]

This looks like a friendly check in. He isn’t being flirty or anything just chatting about life..

[Asker]

Yeah that’s what I thought too

[Asker]

He knows I like him though so it’s weird

[HollyK21]

Were you guys friends? And by friends I mean like talking regularly, maybe hung out, etc.

[Asker]

No I also see he has a girlfriend

[Asker]

Should I just stop responding

[HollyK21]

Personally I would. Whether he has a girlfriend or not I’m just not big on small talk and that looks like what he’s starting to do towards the end of your messages.

[Asker]

Yeah I kind of made it go that way I think and that might be my fault

[Asker]

Mine are the grey messages

[HollyK21]

Well it looks like you’re trying to carry the conversation by actually engaging while he is just answering thing and being bland, even though he’s the one who started the conversation lol, that’s more what I mean by small talk.

[Asker]

Lol yeah haha I agree I found out he had a girlfriend so I kept the convo friendly and just asking about his life because I don’t wanna get him in trouble lol but yea I see what you mean I’m not a small talk person either I’m actually struggling to talk to this guy because I was in an abuse relationship with a narcissistic guy and I don’t even know how to hold a conversation

[HollyK21]

You did very well! Holding conversations doesn’t come easy to some people so you did great😄 I’m also the same way when it comes to chatting with male friends who have girlfriends, and at first I wouldn’t mind engaging but after a while I get sick of the small talk and conclude that they are just bored. Why not bore their girlfriends with these conversations? Lol, but anyway yeah, I’d just be done engaging that talk and let him go about his business..

It's not flirtatous. But you're not flirting, either.
