makeithappen Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Hello, I would like to know if being invited to a neighbour's home for tea necessarily means he wants to date? I accepted from a neighbour because we do not know each other, and wanted to make friends and get to know the people who live nearby. Now, I am wondering if I am being too casual about it, or if I am indeed right, and it is nothing more than having a chat and familiarising? Thank you Edited January 13, 2015 by makeithappen
carhill Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Generally, it'll become more obvious what the person's intentions are during the interaction. The specifics depend upon the person and your culture. In my culture, presuming heterosexual, any time a man seeks the attention of and interaction with a woman alone, meaning just the two of them engaging in any particular activity, unless they already have a history of platonic friendship established, 'it's a date'. 1
Assada Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 It is what you make it, as simple as that. Have I invited people too coffee that I could date? Yes Did I want to get to know them better? Yes Could something else materialize? Yes One thing at a time
lovexocoach Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 This sounds like a "get to know you" invitation, not a date - at least that's how I'd interpret it. Since you mentioned coffee/tea in your headline, I assume you mean "tea" in the sense of the drink rather than dinner/supper - which tea is in some cultures. 1
mysteryscape Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 It's a proto-date until proven otherwise.
