Ibaadat Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I hardly date, and this guy is into dating and party scene, however, appears mature and decent. We met at a networking event, he quickly got in touch with me online afterwards , and suggested to meetup for coffee....I was busy so he said let me know when you're free. After several days, I did let him know that i am less busy now and can meetup for coffee. We met for over an hour, nice conversation, he bought me coffee....kept it decent, no flirting etc....we both are professionals, and we have common acquaintances so i think he wanna be cautious of his reputation...anyways, suddenly during our convo, he realized he had forgotten about another business appointment as he got a call in the middle and said he had to run. it appeared genuine to me. his phone kept ringing but he didn't answer except once...In the end, we shook hand (kissing was not appropriate as he probably has an idea, I wouldn't be comfortable due to religious reason)....while parting ways he said it was nice meeting me and thank you for my time.....and also said call me or catch me online or give me a shout if you are in the area to get together.....we work in the same area. He also knew that i am a bit busier with work these days for next few days or so and so is he.....he didn't precisely set a second date or anything....after 24 hours, he saw me online, and msg'ed me to apologize that he had to run, and that it was chillaxing to see me and it was a treat to meet someone from the similar roots. Also suggested that he is organizing a charity event one month from now, and would appreciate if i can come. I am trying to figure out is it a networking connection or a date....i know he has also reached out to our common female acquaintenance to request her support as she is also into charity. however, he hasn't ask her for coffee or anything....So was it a date and does he seem interested? or no chances of second date?.....i really don't know guys subtle clues.....and i dont want to ask him or reach out.....i want to be pursued.....please advise how to play cool but get the momentum going for a serious relationship. I will love to get many responses :) Thank you all awesome people on this site.
acrosstheuniverse Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Hmm, it doesn't seem as though he was looking to date you, more networking. I'm basing this on the fact that he's asked you to attend an event he's organising in four weeks time. That isn't really the actions of a guy that wants to get to you know better in a romantic sense. He was probably just looking to make new business connections. He could still get back in touch and ask you out again I guess, but don't hold your breath. 1
mammasita Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 So, absolutely no flirting? Was the conversation ALL business? My thought is that if he had any romantic interest he would have already suggested dinner or another meet-up....... Hard to say. 1
