So here's an interesting situation for you....

 

A while ago a boy sent me a message on Plenty of Fish and I thought he was cute and nice, so I responded and from there we talked for several days. Finally we planned a date to go bowling. I wanted to talk to him on the phone first and when we talked via that medium, I felt we didn't have enough in common or a good enough connection, etc and afterward he said he felt the same. He was also on my facebook and at that point I would normally have defriended him, but I kept this particular guy on my facebook because he always had the most interesting status updates. After a little bit I started randomly commenting on his updates, then he'd randomly comment on mine sometimes too.

 

Then one day he sent me a message that basically said he knew we didnt have a lot in common, but it's always nice to hang out with friends. After that we re-exchanged numbers and began talking again intermittently. Over time the talking increased and I started enjoying the conversations more and more.. Finally we met up in person briefly when he was in the area playing pool (but it was very brief). Then a few days ago we met up again and I actually got to play a game of pool with him. I definitely had fun, hugged him hello and he went out of his way to hug me goodbye, then told me to text him to make sure I got home (since it was late).

 

Lately we talk a lot and our conversations feel very comfortable. He makes me laugh all the time and I do the same for him... At first I really thought it would just be a friendship but ever since I met with him the second time to play pool, I've got a crush! There are days now when we talk for hours, and yes we do flirt... But at the end of the day I dont know if he feels anything other than friendship toward me, so I dont want to "rock the boat" and mess anything up. Because to be honest, sometimes crushes are stupid and maybe this guy is better off as my friend anyway.... But then again who knows! Anyone ever been in this situation?

Yes. One of my best boyfriends in fact. After our first date, I didn't like him. I called and told him, good luck, etc. He liked me (later he said) but didn't really take it personally.

 

Since we met at the gym, I would run into him frequently there. The next time, a couple of months later and I asked him out. From there, we lasted several years. We were married eventually.

Yeah.... it's the weirdest thing. I've been getting indications that he likes me... Like the fact that now we can talk for hours and he asks me all kinds of questions, seems very genuinely interested in what I'm up to, etc. He's even mentioned little things like I should save up some money so we can go on a trip to a theme park, asking when I'm going to be at a certain place so that we might meet up soon to hang out... And I've really genuinely had a great time with him when we talk. I think I'm going to wait until I get to see him again, and if I still feel this way (and if I get any indication that he might feel the same way when I see him in person) then I might make some kind of move.
