There is this guy i met few months back through mutual friends. We both got drunk but nothing major happened, he just tried to hold my hands. The next time we met, it was in another drinking environment and he tried to hold my hands again. We exchanged numbers and we texted a bit. He was saying that he was conscious of what he was doing but that was it and he did point out that he noticed some guy trying to get with me. It was my birthday few days ago and i invited him to come out and drink. He was like i never go out friday nights because i have work early morning saturday. But hes like for you i'll come out. And we went to a bar with couple of other mutual friends. He tried holding my hands again and in the end we did hold hands but mind you we were pretty tipsy by that time. And then he gave me a kiss on my cheeks. He then dropped everyone off first and dropped me off last and during the car ride we just small talked. But he kept on touching my cheeks and my knees. (that sounds a bit weird) haha and as i was leaving he gave me a hug and another kiss. He texted me happy bday sweet dreams when he got home. I answered him back the next day and we kinda texted a bit but his replies took so long. and i brought up the kiss on the cheeks and hes like its cause i wanted to make the bday girl happy.I dont know if hes playing games with me, or if hes not interested. When we are together, it seems like hes very interested but when we are not together, he doesnt really initiate anything but when i do, he always replies. Should i take the next step or just sit back and let things be?

Slooooooooooooow down. Just try to relax and let things unfold naturally. It seems like he interested to me. I'm confused as to why you think he isn't interested?

 

Do NOT be that clingy/needy person. No better way to drive someone away. Lay low for a couple days and see if you hear from him. Take it from there.

he sounds interested or he wouldn't make repeated attempts to hold your hand, turn up at your party and send you home last. however, he may still be unsure on how and when to ask you out. my guess is he could be inexperienced in the dating field. nevertheless, you should let him take the lead. if you do end up going on a date with him, use this opportunity to get to know him better. no harm going on a few dates before you decide if you want to be in a relationship with this guy. if you still can't decide, you could always get a second opinion from your closest pals. in my opinion, they are the perfect ppl to seek advice from as they know you best and as such, would be in a great position to help. good luck!
