daisydukes Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 I asked this guy who happens to be my ex BF stepbrother ( they aren't super close) I knew he liked me so I decided to ask him if he wanted to go out for coffee sometime and he said maybe I am kinda swamped with work for the next couple of weeks and have a bunch of projects going on. I knew he liked me and he isn't super close to my ex and my ex even gave me permission to date him and I really like him so I cannot tell if that is a polite way of telling me thanks but no thanks. Any input would be appreciated;)
Lil1 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Hi Daisy, in my experience, when a guy is interested he will MAKE TIME to be with you. Doesn't sound like this guy is, and the fact that you dated his step-brother could also be playing a role. You have made the first move, now just sit back and wait for him to reach out to you next. Do not pursue. Enjoy your holidays and your single life!!
Author daisydukes Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 I suppose you are right. When my ex and I started dating his step brother said wow she is fine! You are one lucky dog! Flash forward to several months later when my ex dumps me for another girl ( ouch) and I kept thinking about his stepbrother so I IMed him and asked him out for coffee and I got the answer. I guess from his point of view I did date his stepbrother and it could be awkward. I guess I will have to sit back and see what happens!
Imageiko Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 When my ex and I started dating his step brother said wow she is fine! You are one lucky dog! This doesn't mean he likes you or wants to date you. I wouldn't read to much into it. If he wants to see you he'll make time no matter how busy he is. So I think that's your answer right there.
azsinglegal Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Seeing as how he's related to an ex you might want to pass on him. You don't know what information he's shared, personal and private. While he may have thought you are "fine" he also knows his step-brother was hitting it. I'd find someone else to date who's further away from your ex if I were you. I can't imagine most men want to "keep it in the family". Good luck.
Author daisydukes Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 I suppose you are right. I never thought of it like that My ex could of shared all kinds of dirty laundry about me which would be kinda embarrassing especially if we started dating. Maybe I should reconsider dating him and be thankful he politely declined me because after all they are family and I suppose it could be awkward.

Even if you don't, imagine what it would be like.......... If someone you broke up with (or who broke up with you) started dating your sister............ Awkward is an understatement....
PlumPrincess Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I'm somewhat surprised you wouldn't mind dating your ex-boyfriend's stepbrother. Because if you do, you probably will see your ex-boyfriend all the time. I'd rather avoid an ex who cheated on me and had a parallel relationship with someone.
