firefly1 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Hey guys I have this friend (not that close, but knew each other from university residences since 2008). He is now nearly 26 and I've just turned 28. When we knew each other we both had our own friendship circles, but we went out for my 20th bday and once we went ice skating. We often ate on the same table during uni but in a big group. In 2009 I found a bf and he has had 2 gfs since 2008. We used to bump into each other in London after we had graduated and we would say hi how are you briefly. I was always out with my boyfriend when we bumped into each other and I was happy with my bf then. I broke up with my bf last year. Fast forward to now, I moved over to Paris and he still lives in London. Last November he said he was coming to Paris for a few days for work and asked if I wanted to meet up with him and a friend. He hadn't seen me for about two years. I'm not sure why, but suddenly he seemed to take an interest in me and he is pretty cute too. I used to be this scruffy, shy and nerdy girl at uni but now I have grown into my looks and a lot of people say I am very pretty (I'm also a nice person btw haha). He paid for the dinner even though I offered. So his friend leaves after the dinner and my guy friend wanted to have a walk around the city with me at night. I kind of didn't want the evening to end. It was a pretty romantic walk I guess but I didn't want to flirt or be touchy feely since he was my friend and it would have been awkward. He bumped into me a couple of times and apologised. I said its okay and I didn't seem to mind so we eventually got closer and closer. We took photos of each other and asked ppl to take them of us. It looked almost like we were a couple. Anyway he eventually had to go back to the hotel and he had a presentation the next morning. He then flew back to London. Before that he never texted me but after that he would text me for he next few weeks and sometimes with pictures. Obv it would start to wane off since we were busy. So now I went to London for a holiday and I asked if he wanted to meet up for lunch on my last day. He said yes of course. We met up at the train station and we walked to the restaurant and had lunch together. He did suggest a more formal restaurant at first but then when we met up he said lets go to this Korean place cos it's more casual. So we went to the Korean restaurant instead. I paid for us both at the cashiers when we ordered ( he insisted on paying but i was faster with the cash than he was with his card). So we had a really nice chat over lunch. He seemed to be a bit shy and a bit sheepish. He laughed at my lame jokes and the lunch and conversation went well. He said he was going to Europe but not Paris for work in May but he might try and come and see me in Paris anyway. He was on his work lunch break which he extended because he said his work was pretty flexible. After lunch we walked around the area and he wanted to show me all these different buildings. We spent a rather long two hour lunch break together which seemed to fly by. I said he should go back to work so he walked me back to the train station to drop me off. There was a lot of tension and chemistry in the air!!! We hugged goodbye and he asked me kind of sheepishly if I had any plans for the evening (twice). I said I didn't know, perhaps going for dinner with my sister. He said if I didn't have any plans then after he was finished at work at 7, we could meet up again. He looked like he really wanted to see me again and asked me to let him know. I said okay I'll let you know if Im free tonight. However he later said that he was super sorry and that he had some work to finish that was in for tomorrow morning and he didn't know how much longer it would take. He said Im so sorry I may not make it out tonight:(. I said its okay and he should rest after a long day. Later on We texted each other good night and he told me to have a safe flight the next day. I said I didn't want to leave and he said 'stay!!' And sent me a kissing emoticon. I said we will see what happens as I want to come back in September for good. Before I flew off I texted him goodbye. He replied that it had been great to see me and he will definitely see me again soon and added a kiss face. Do you think he likes me more than just a friend? Should I flirt back or act normal? I'm quite interested in him if he is interested in me but I have no idea if it would work out! Edited March 5, 2015 by firefly1 1
Versacehottie Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 It sounds like he likes you more than a friend. Yes!
Gary S Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Well, I hate to say this, but only 1 in 1,000 long distance relationships work out. But I guess since you sound ready to move to London perhaps it could? Somebody has to go for a first kiss pretty soon too.
