So here goes...to make a long story short...this guy has liked me since Spring. My coworker who works directly with him (she is in a different department and he is her client), said he wanted to meet me. I declined because I was still with my ex. It was a bad relationship and at that time he was on his 3rd chance already. Anyways, that's another story. So, when we broke up for good (after 2 more chances), I saw him come in and told her I was single and wanted to meet him. Which I did. We were trying to set up a date, but there were conflicts such as his vacation, I was in class, etc. So were now trying to set it up for this month.

 

Thing is, I was trying to figure him out because he is shy. He talked to me once (before talking about a date) and then after that, he gets skeevish around me. I was talking to my coworker recently who found out that he was hurt really badly and came out of a relationship not too long ago. However, it is longer than me and I am kind of in the same boat.

 

I told her I am not pushing him into something. I came out of a hurtful relationship as well so not rushing into anything from the getgo. I mean, I have no problem getting to know him as a person and building trust.

 

Then, I told her if he isn't up to it, then I understand. She tells me he keeps asking when were going out so that isn't the case. I guess he is just nervous.

 

I don't know what his situation is, but to be that shy and scared of women something bad must have happened. I myself, get nervous around men from my ex because he was a narassist, and emotionally abusive. I have no problem talking to men, but I have hard time making first move.

 

Anyways, my thing here is to build trust with him so he doesn't think all women are the same way and just out to hurt him.

Have to be patient and wait for the right moment - when you guys go out this month. If you really want to make a move, get his number and shoot him a text?

I am trying to get his number, but cant push it or he will get scared off. When we go out, if we are having a good time then maybe it will just happen on its own. He has my number already.
