I met a guy on a night out last thursday. He's not my usual type at all - I usually go for confident 'bad boy' types, this guy was quite shy and sweet. Usually I'd find the lack of confidence a turn off but he had a really nice, genuine way about him. I was pretty drunk so I was probably a lot more forward than I usually would have been and worried I might have been too intense and scared him off!

 

We chatted and exchanged numbers in town then I was having a few people back to my flat for an after party so asked him if he wanted to come and bring his friends. I guess here if he didn't want to come he could have said no ...it was hard enough to get his number though as he was pretty down on himself and said he thought I was out of his league and I was only interested in him because I was drunk! Anyway they came back to mine..we stayed up till about 7am talking and I really got on with him. He told me he had recently got out of a 9 year relationship and it was the only girl he'd ever been with..and it seemed to have done a number on him which is why I'm guessing he was so down on himself. He kept saying he didn't know what I saw in him etc but it's crazy because he's a really good-looking guy but totally doesn't know it.

 

So we stayed up and he slept in my bed but we didn't do anything apart from kiss and cuddle ..the next day I told him it would be nice to see him again but I understand his break-up is pretty fresh so we can just take things slow and get to know each other. He seemed up for it ..I sent him a text later that night saying it was nice to meet him etc. I wouldn't usually be so forward and wouldn't be the first one to text but I felt like I needed to make more of an effort because of how he was. He replied and said he'd like to see me again etc ...but its been 2 days since then and I thought this time I'd leave it to him to get in contact. I'm not sure if he will but I don't know if I again I need to make the effort or maybe he's not interested. It's really hard to tell as I'm used to guys being a lot more forward! Anyone have any ideas on this?

Yeah I guess you're right ..it's a shame because I've been out of a big relationship for about a year and even though I'm long over it this is literally the first guy I've met that I've been interested in seeing again. It's a shame he's not a bit further down the line.
