Littlemixtape Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Sorry this turned out to be quite long-winded... So a former co-worker and I recently reconnected. We worked together a couple years ago and always had a good rapport, but never hung out outside of work. I was interested in him back then but never did anything about it because he had a girlfriend. He had moved away for awhile, and just moved back a few months ago. He is single now, although I'm not sure how long he's been single...Anyway, we randomly reconnected on facebook. He said "we should hang out sometime soon". After a few "wall-to-walls" i sent him a message basically saying "here's my # if you want to meet up sometime" and he sent a text later that day saying he was glad i sent it b/c he was going to ask for it. Before hanging out last night, in a voicemail about a change of plans he stated "really looking forward to seeing you". So, last night went well. We went out for drinks and to see a few local bands play, talked a lot about everything, and seemed to learn more about each other and have a lot in common. Overall it was a great time. There was a little bit of touching here and there but nothing major (his hand on the small of my back frequently, we both grabbed each others' wrists when he was leading us through a crowd of ppl at one point, i had touched and scruffed up his beard(lol), and every time we crossed a street he kind of put his arm out to hold me back until he was sure it was safe) and he seemed to really want to find quieter spots where we were, so we could hear each other and talk. We had gone to a bar that he frequents and he had made a point to introduce me to everyone he knew there. At the end of the night we were quiet for a bit as we were listening to this great band, and then he had said "i don't mean to cut this short but i'll have to go soon". At this point, though, it was about 1am; we had met up around 8pm. He walked me back to my car on the way to his, and hugged me and said he had a good time and we should do it again sometime soon. i had said "hey wait...one more time" and kind of scruffed up his newly acquired beard. he said "i think i like that as much as you do" and i said "i think you do too...but we're in the rain..." meaning ok i should go now, get out of the rain. i think i had kind of paused as i was scruffing up his beard as i was debating on going for it and kissing him or not, then he smiled and kissed me on the cheek and we said goodbye and got into our cars. Now, I have no idea if this was a date or a casual meet-up of sorts, and it really doesn't matter. But, i do know that i like him (i liked him when we worked together two years ago and hated it that i couldn't do anything about it at the time, and he had crossed my mind every once in awhile-not in a creepy way, though, come on now) He had paid for some of our drinks, and i had insisted on paying for some of our drinks....he seemed to want to know about what's been going on in my life, things i like, things i hate...we had a lot in common...There was a lot of laughing, smiling, and banter. So...what of this kiss on the cheek? does that mean something? does that mean "i had a great time, friend." or does that mean "i'm interested" also, i was thinking of texting him later today; just a casual text to tell him i had a great time, thank you, and that we should hang again soon....
blueskyday Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Yeah, he's probably interested, just didn't want to push it, with the rain and his recent return to town....I would just chill out a bit and see when he contacts you. I bet he knows you are interested. If you don't hear from him in a week or so, you could send him a quick text saying hi and see where it goes from there...
blueskyday Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 By the way, I don't usually kiss a guy on the first date. I like to take my time and not have any pressure on that first meeting. He may be like that, too...
