Search Results: She looks shocked

I partner up with him at some point in dance class
One day he asked me to to practice with him after class
I said yes and we practiced for a bit.
that was my chance to get his ig.
Next lesson same thingBut I asked if he would eat at the cafeteria Unfortunately he wouldn't. Next time same question but he asked if I would be staying for lunch. We hanged out for 3h that day. Next lessonwhile practicing at one point he kissed my hand after I had missed some steps. Is this acceptable when you don't know each other well. We ain't even proper friends yet. Still he seems a bit of a shy guy and not too confident. He has trouble asking questions to our dance teacher so isn't weird that he did that. But I took courage from that. While leaving I asked him whether he liked sushi and he answered very much. I told him that I won the sushi giveaway of our dance club and asked wether he wanted to go with me (sushi and drinks for 2). I could see that he froze a bit a small shock was evident on his face. He answered me "are you asking me out?" and I agreed somehow and then he asked again "are you sure? don't you wanna go with your friends?" and I said I could but I'm asking you. Then he still wasn't answering and I started panicking and I asked if he didn't wanna go and if I made it awkward but he said no it was just that nobody ever asked him out before and I said I didn't ask anyone out before either. Cause I was feeling really anxious I kept blurting things out. I also said that we were both looking around now but he said that I was doing that and he was looking at me. After that he couldn't stay for lunch so surprise surprise he took my hand and kissed it again and told me not to worry or something like that. We still haven't texted each other though. I really don't know is he just being nice to me? could he be interested? I don't know what to think at times I'm thinking positively and other times I'm really negative about it. Thank you if you read this far.

I went on a date 2 days ago, it was way up there in comparison to previous first dates. We just clicked instantly. We ended up spending 7 hours together, visited 3 different locations. There were no silent moments, I smiled until my cheeks hurt. He didn't directly flirt with me but would tell me that he's so shocked by my intellect and how well we connect and when time ran away from us he told me that he didn't want to leave, that he really wants to see me again. There were moments where I'd express an oddly specific opinion/perspective on a topic and his mouth would drop, and he'd ask where I came from as if I'd just stolen the words out of his mouth. We didn't kiss, but he sat and played guitar for me and swooned over my music taste and my philosophies and every little thing we have in common. I really FELT the connection. He's also a creative, and more of a doer than just a talker. There's enough evidence to back that up. He told me he finds me attractive, too.

Here's the problem though...

He told me that his last relationship ended 6 months ago partially because he is so dedicated to his craft that sometimes he'll put his phone down for days at a time to finish a piece, that he isn't much of a texter, and that girls don't understand this about him and it causes tension. Fair enough, I thought it made sense. But on the date he showed me some of his artworks hidden in his chats and i didn't see much but he didn't look like a bad texter. Even so, ever since our date, ever since he told me how he's so ridiculously keen to see me again and we're going to make all these plans together, I've hardly heard from him. This morning for example after I texted first he exchanged 2 messages asking about how my work has been going, then ignored me for the last 13 hours. He's been actively posting on his business account, and I can see his online status on whatsapp now and then when I check, and I'm just so confused. I thought it went so well? Am I overthinking this?

It’s been three months since we have known each other. We walk together on the way to our classes, he would wait for me. Must people would say that he likes me or he is my boyfriend. We act like a couple but the thing is that I am two years older than him. Someone asked him if I were his girlfriend, he said, “no, she is a friend.” As soon as they walked away, he told me, “Unless you want to be my girlfriend.” I looked at him because I was shocked, I wanted to say yes (we had mask on due to covid) but he continued and told me, “Just kidding, I am focusing on education.” I am also focusing on the education, we had the same goal. I thought about it lately to ask him out but I am afraid he would reject me since I know that he focuses on his education. Help me out older brothers and sisters.
