lanamarie313 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 There's this guy I've known since about 1st or 2nd grade. We went through all of school together, but haven't seen or spoken to one another since high school (almost 8 years ago). When we were in school, we sort of knew one another and talked very, very rarely - but I wouldn't consider him a friend. We were more like acquaintances. I did go to a small school though, and there were a very small number of students of the same ethnicity as me - and this guy was one of them. Anyways, a few weeks ago, he sent me a message on facebook asking how I'm doing and saying that he'd like to get together sometime to catch up on what each of us has been up to. I said that would be cool, but that I was busy with school and would let him know. He said he understood and maybe we would be able to make time later. About 2 weeks later, he sent me another message saying to let him know when I'm free. I decided to tell him I was free on Friday, and he agreed to get dinner to "catch up." He hasn't been flirty or suggestive at all with any of his messages - until tonight, maybe. He sent me a text because he wanted to figure out where we would meet for dinner. We figured it out, and then at the end he said "I'm looking forward to seeing you." I don't want to come out and ask him if he considers this a date, but I'm really not sure. I really have no interest in him beyond being friends - so "catching up" is fine, but I wouldn't want anything beyond that. Am I just being naive here?
todreaminblue Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 i say cant wait to see you to friends.....i say its good to hear your voice........i dont consider it to be a date because he said I look forward to meeting you...because maybe he is just being honest.....he is looking forward to catching up but then someone told me recently he thought my friendly overtures are flirting i dont think they were or are... but ....everybody is different ......the only person who knows exactly what he meant is him...to me no...it doesnt signify a date.......what signifies a date to me is ....i would like to take you out to dinner not to catch up but him saying to get to know you better or him saying spend time with you..then it becomes a more intimate tone ...a catch up is what friends do....he hasnt been flirty so take him as being friendly....best wishes on your catch up..deb
crude Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 No need to overthink it. If you're curious in any way about how he's doing and feel like reminiscing a little about school days, then it'll be fun. It's not a date, it's a catch-up.
