Ilovecake Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Wondering if you guys could give me your honest opinion. I’ve never done any sort of online dating so I’m not quite sure how to conduct myself. A few months a go a really cute guy sent me a friend request because he saw me post something on a mutual friend’s page. I don’t usually accept friend requests from strangers but I asked our mutual friend about him and he said he was a very stand up guy and is not the type that would scope out facebook for girls, so he must have liked something about me to send the request. I accepted the request and left it alone. After that he didn’t say anything to me for months but would click like on a lot of stuff I posted. All of a sudden last week out of the blue he posted some funny lines on my page from a movie I was talking about. He also started responding to my posts on our friend’s page. I figured he wanted to talk so I reciprocated the next day by making a joke on his page and that finally got him to send me a private message. He asked me some questions; we talked about stuff we were interested in. It was mostly just small talk back and forth over a two day period. I mentioned not having something pretty perticular and he said he had an extra one just lying around and would be more than happy to give it to me. Because I never met him I told him I felt weird receiving a gift from him and to please hold on to it and I would be very happy to purchase the item from him in the future. I was very gracious about it and told him I though it was a very nice gesture on his part. He seemed OK with that. He asked me a few more questions I sent him a message on Thursday and haven’t heard a peep since. he was posting on his page this weekend but he’s not marking things on my page anymore. I know it’s only been a few days and he might have just run out of things to say, which is fine. However here is my dilemma. I feel like up until Thursday he was making most of the effort and I was reciprocating a little. I want him to know I’m interested but definitely do not want to come off as desperate or pushy. Last night he changed his picture to an award he won, which is kind of a big deal. I was wondering if I should say congratulations or click like underneath it or anything. On the other hand I feel like maybe I should back off for now. After all I made the last communication attempt and the ball is in his court. So what do you guys think I should do about the new profile picture? Be nice and say congrats or ignore it till he contacts me again? Edited August 9, 2010 by Ilovecake
