mortensorchid Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 This is rather odd situation I am in now. Please let me explain ... A few weeks ago, I met up with a friend who I had seen maybe once or twice in the past few years. Through Facebook, he invited me to a BBQ at his house. I went, he was there with some of his friends, I brought another friend of mine. I can blend in easily in most every situation, I am not intimidated to be around strangers. I decided to hang it up a while ago, I am not looking for anything and I am putting all people I meet into the category of "friend" from now on. We had a few emails through Facebook. I said I was excited about the fact that he lives so close and that if I wanted to see him I don't have to drive 20 minutes to see him (most everyone I know lives in the city and I'm in the suburbs). I asked if he wanted to have dinner some night, because I had a hankering for sushi. While there, we talked a lot about things. He told me he was married once and I had met his ex wife at the BBQ he had invited me to, they are friends now and she was with her new boyfriend there. A bit strange, but, I guess if it works. He also had a girlfriend recently who he split with about two years ago. I didn't know any of these facts, and I certainly didn't see this as a therapy session where we were going to let all our dirty laundry out. I did tell a tale about my last serious boyfriend as he played a signifigant role in a major undertaking I have. But that was the end of the whole "relationship" talk. Then the check came. I was ready to pay for my half, as I had asked him out and it was just going to be a friend get together, but he said he would take care of it, which he did. He asked if I wanted to do something else, I said he could come by my place and watch some TV. Which we did, we watched a movie. He didn't make any attempts to "make a move" (hand holding, put his arm around me, etc.) while we were sitting on the couch. We ended the night nicely, said we would talk soon. Could it be that he's interested? I doubt myself now, thinking that I am incapable of sustaining this aspect of life anymore. I guess we'll see what we see?
Confusedalways Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Sounds to me just like old friends catching up. Are you interested in him?
Jilly Bean Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Just sounds like he was being a gentleman. I have a few male "friends" that will pay no matter what, just because they're chivalrous.
Author mortensorchid Posted August 20, 2010 Author Posted August 20, 2010 Yeah, I think now that I have revisited the situation after walking away, that is the case. That he's just being a good guy, but there's nothing else besides that. Moving on ...
spookie Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 In my experience the surest way into a man's pants (and heart) is through his friendship.
