Search Results: girlfriend is away for the summer

Okay so there is this guy, lets call him "A" that became close with me towards the end of senior year last year. He had a girlfriend and we didn't flirt but he did talk to his friends about me a lot apparently (his friends told me). After graduation, him and his girlfriend broke up because they were going to different Unversities (similar to me and him but ours are only an hour away) and he wanted to be single his freshmen year of college. We hung out twice over the summer, both times it was easy to tell he was in to me strongly. Shortly afterwards, he told me he felt like he was leading me on because he knew he wasn't ready to jump back into a relationship again yet and wanted to be single his freshmen year of college. So, we stopped talking completely for about four months. Recently, I saw him at a bar near his college and we ended up talking the whole night. He kept staring at me and we even ended up kissing goodbye before I left. But the thing is, he sends mixed signals because every time I ask him something, he just says "maybe" and says its because he's "mysterious." After that night, he texted me asking if I made it home ok and we ended up texting three weeks straight. He would text me first frequently and even double text up until last week when he randomly stopped replying all together. I'm not sure if he did this because he's scared of wanting a relationship, hurting me, or what, because everyone I ask says he likes me. Do you think he'll eventually come back around, or does he even like me?

Okay, I went to high school with this guy (I'll call him Joe) and reconnected with him through my job over the summer (I'm a waitress). We are friends on Facebook, we talk on Snapchat, and we chat whenever he comes into the restaurant. On Halloween I went to a party and Joe happened to be there. We both got a little tipsy and Joe pulled me in to dance with him. I wound up staying the night and sleeping with him, but he always made the first move. I haven't talked to, or seen him since then. I've been told by Joes brothers girlfriend that Joe and I should try dating, but now I'm wondering if I lost my chance by sleeping with him. I'll see him this weekend at a going away party for a mutual friend and just want to have an idea of how to handle this. I would like to try dating him, but don't know how to get over the initial awkwardness. Thanks!!!
