Search Results: chatting room

I was at a friend's party. I have met his brother before but this is the first time we really chatted, about nothing in particular. he's quite attractive, reticent and chill, albeit mischievous. I didn't chat too much at the party, kept it low key.

As the night died down, a few of us were left, drinking and chatting. We both got along well, both of us were chill and quiet while others chatted. We talked a few times across the room, friendly and smiley, nothing crazy. Once everyone left, we all cleaned up and had some laughs about the night. Both he and I both slept over my friend's apartment.

The next morning, a few of us were watching TV and chatting, getting along. At some point when everyone was quiet, watching the show, my friends brother and I locked eyes across the room for a very long time, around 4-5 seconds of super intense eye contact. He looked into my eyes very calmly and confidently and I did the same back. Neither of us smiled but there was a noticeable intensity and potency to it, but nothing creepy or scary but rather... intense.

I can't tell what happened between us. It's really sticking in my head. The intensity of his look, I liked it a lot. He felt very confident and self assured.

I left and there was an awkward side hug and thats all.

I met a client for a coffee chat in the hopes of a job referral.

1) We corresponded on LinkedIn and he was eager to help - gave his number (no one else had done that and sticked to corresponding on LinkedIn even to meet up)

2) Was v nice and ask me what worked best for me in terms of going up to their office to grab a room or a cafe nearby. Also gave time flexibility so I could ‘sneak out of work’

3) when we met up, he first came off as a bit guarded/ uncomfortable but then loosened up and teased / making jokes / leaning towards me

4) when we were parting ways, caught him looking at me up & down a couple times while we had small talk and he was smiling at everything I said. Paced himself to match me while we were heading out of the cafe and before we parted ways he said to send over my resume and asked if I had his work email and quickly said it. We’d previously met with my boss in a work setting - I’ve been looped in on emails and said my boss has it and will find it

he then insisted I take his business card when I’d already started to head off. Kinda surprised his brought his biz card given I already met him and had his LI / number

3) I texted next day to thank him and said I’ll send over my resume in a couple days’ after polishing it - he was v quick to respond and said to send it whenever I’m done and he’d forward it to hr and check up on the team itself that I’m applying to. I emailed it and he responded quickly again to acknowledge. Another position opened up a couple weeks later and I asked if he could refer and again was quick to respond / look into it

4) I didn’t progress and he said he will keep a lookout for roles that are better suited. I then said to stay in touch

There’s no other touch point in between that is personal but the subtext makes me wonder if there is something more? The business card and the niceness of it all - am I overreading?

and does the saying ‘if he wanted to, he would’ apply here?
