Allison85 Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 I work at the same place with a guy named Michael but we work for different companies. In between our shifts we get to talk about 15 minutes a day. When we first met in April we hit it off I would find myself coming in early and him staying late just to talk. We had hung out once, went out for coffee and then went to his house and watched a movie... I thought we had a great time, laughed all night and ended up hanging out until 2am. About a month went by and we had barely talked although we would see eachother every day at work. A wave was about the extent of our interaction at this point. About 3 weeks ago he messaged me and we talked for about 3 hours online... wich is weird for him. I had joked around that I thought he hated me because he hadn't talked to me in a month or more and he appologized for being stupid and that he had a lot going on and then asked me why I haden't asked him to hang out in a while. Just about 2 weeks ago I straight out asked him if he wanted to go on a date because since I met him I was never really sure if he thought of me as just a friend... or more. He said yes and suggested we go out to dinner. Again we had a great time, laughed all night long and we have a lot in common. He said that he had a lot of fun and that he wanted to go out again soon. I had asked him if he wanted to go out sometime this week and he said depending on his schedule he would love to...that was last week and I don't really want to bring it up again because I feel if he wanted to go out he would say so. He works 2 jobs and usually works about 8 hours a day 7 days a week so I know he is busy. I told him I didn't want to be so persistent in always be asking him to do something but he says he's glad I am, and if he wasn't so busy he would be himself. We are back to talking at work but I find that he always has stories to tell me about how him and his friends went out and had a blast, blah blah blah. He has just turned 20 and I am 22 so could it just be the age he is at? My question is what do you think about this situation? We have a lot of fun together and he is a really sweet guy but do you think I am wasteing my time? He says that he likes me but just doesn't seem interested at all. Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks
directx Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Well, first, I noticed a coffee thing was used and not considered a date, so I am eating crow on that one if you know my past. Second, I think he has got other girls he is seeing as well. You are probably one of many. Nothing to feel bad about, you aren't steady with him. I don't know if you are wasting your time: you barely know him really. Just keep setting up those movie dates and chat. You have nothing to lose, right?
jcster Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 I think it's a good rule of thumb that if he were really interested, he wouldn't be so hard to meet up with. If you can't get him to go out on this date that you set up, then I would move onto someone who's more interested.
Saxis Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 There's kind of a clue in that he tells all kinds of stories about going out with his friends, but he uses "not enough time" as an excuse for not contacting you for dates. He doesn't really sound all that interested, but is just keeping you as a friend/work acquaintance. My guess is that he's very immature also.... He can't even buy his own booze yet (in the States at least)!
