Laurenwho Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 quick back story- my sister and her husband want to set me up with her hubby's best friend. They say (and he seems like) a really great guy- good looking, educated, good job, sweet etc etc... He and I have been talking (on the phone once-I called him) and through email (myspace) for the last eight months or so. I met him at my sister's wedding over a year ago. As far as a I know he hasnt' been in a relationship for awhile. I just got out of one. We live about 3 hours apart but if something happened either of us could move. Anyway I was joking around and told him he should go on vacation with us (to keep my sister's husband company) and he took me seriously and supposedly asked for the time off. He called my sister and her hubby and apparently was excited that I asked him. He also found out I was recently single and told my sister and hubby he wanted to date me and that he liked me (this was over July 4th weekend). Since then he just hasnt' seemed interested so... I called my sister last night and told her I didn't think I was going to keep talking to her husband's friend that they tried to set me up with. I just feel like he is not interested. She was suprised. She said that she thinks maybe I hurt his feelings by telling him that I wasn't really serious when I invited him on vacation with us. She said he was excited about going and that is a "very sensitive guy". She said that he told them he really likes me and that she doesn't know of him dating or seeing anyone. I am so confused!!! here is the part of the email I sent him that he NEVER responded to. I was kinda joking about the vacation thing- didnt' think you'd take me seriously. When (sister) told me I was like you're going to think I'm crazy. But its cool if you did (think I was serious about the vaca, not think I'm crazy lol) I wouldn't mind hanging out with you for a week. Too bad ur boss won't let you take any vacation but I can understand you guys will be pretty busy. Any fun plans for the weekend? Be sure to call (sister) and make fun of her because she's turning 26! Make her feel OLD. Well ttyl In this email I also mentioned (joking around) sending him pictures from the beach of me in a bikini. He did not respond to this email at all. and I know he read it. Six days later I sent him an email appologizing if I offended him or something. He responded immediately with offended?...me? not at all. I like to joke around alot myself so im glad to see you have a good sense of humor. Not alot going on around here except yard work(which sucks) and crashed plans. I have been trying to get someone to go with me to (Amusement park)for a month or so now and something always comes up. I love the park and if you have never been there and like amusement parks you need to check it out. As far as my weekend I have to work. I had yesterday and today off and had to catch up with stuff around the house. I hope you didnt get into trouble with the boss for sleepin in but for what its worth I hope you have a good day...or at least the rest of it. If i dont hear from you have a good time this weekend. And you can email me or call anytime. Talk to ya later. : ] To me that is a totally friends/only response. No response at all to my flirty email. For what its worth we do live about 3 hours away from eachother but he lives very close to my sister. (so if I visited her I could see him). It just confuses me because two weeks ago my sister and her hubby were telling me how interested this guy was in me and what a great guy he is and I just feel rejected for some reason.
DunnoWhat Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 He said he was interested himself. You embarrassed him by saying you were only joking about the vacation. That might have gave him the impression that you didn't like him. Now I'd say he is confused. Just tell him straight out you like him so that will clear up the confusion.

Author Laurenwho Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 Sorry I had already posted it earlier. I wasn't sure if needed to open a new thread for a new topic (first one was guy hasn't dated in a few years is that a red flag) and this is something different.
DunnoWhat Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 well on my other thread everyone is now saying he was never interested in me and was probably pushed into it by my sister? Doesn't mean everybody is right Anyway I was joking around and told him he should go on vacation with us (to keep my sister's husband company) and he took me seriously and supposedly asked for the time off. He called my sister and her hubby and apparently was excited that I asked him. He also found out I was recently single and told my sister and hubby he wanted to date me and that he liked me (this was over July 4th weekend). Since then he just hasnt' seemed interested so... He did like you and may still do. Ask him or at least get your sister to find out what he thinks.
