TooShyToSayHi Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Finally I can post on this forum something GOOD for a change! The other night (Sunday) I met a guy through a mutual friend at a party. He was sitting across from me and we talked quite a bit. When the friend who was sitting next to me got up for a bit, the guy came and sat next to me. He seemed to want to know all about me, where I'm from, how long I've lived here, etc. Now, I'm TERRIBLE at the dating game so totally didn't pick up on the idea he might be interested. I noticed how he seemed to touch my arm a lot, then rubbed my back a bit, and touched my leg once or twice - but not in a creepy way. We were laughing about something and he briefly put his hand on my leg. We're both gay and gay guys do that, but usually with their friends, not people they've just met. The whole time we were talking he kept his eyes on mine. He also shared something quite personal (nothing seedy) which is something you'd tell someone you trust, not a stranger. He said he knew about a job I might be interested in and said he would look into it. Towards the end of the night he asked how to get in touch with me, I offered my email address. He said he'd rather have my phone number. I gave it to him and he put it in his phone. Since I took a long time to pick up on the idea that he might be interested, I hope I didn't give the impression that I wasn't. Does this sound like two guys just getting to know each other, or some sort of interest? This was Sunday night, so it hasn't been long. I have no idea what a good amount of time is to figure out if he'll call or he's not interested. Does he sound interested? Tomorrow night will be two days, give up after that? I don't imagine the fact that we're both guys would really matter much. People are people when it comes to dating. Any ideas?
harmfulsweetz Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Ask him out. He's interested. Even I know that and I'm a silly 'un! I'm the sort where the guy kisses her forehead and she still don't catch on! I mean, he was interested in you, which means he wants to get to know you. People often don't pick up the signals until too late, but give him a call, and just see how he's doing, take it from there.
Author TooShyToSayHi Posted December 15, 2009 Author Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks for the encouragement! I can't actually call him because I don't have his number. It all happened as we were all leaving and I don't have a cell phone. If he calls me, I'll ask him to coffee or something. I hope he's not trying to text me! I'd hate to think he thinks I'm ignoring him. I'll be seeing him on Friday at a party, so I figure he'll call before then if he's interested. He might think he has to have news about the job - which he doesn't need too! I reeeeally want to talk to him regardless!
