Peasle Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Hi all - I'm new here and I'd be really grateful to get your thoughts.... Long story, cut (reasonably) short: I went to see a play with my friend who is an acting agent. Met the cast afterwards. Got talking to an actor. Didn't speak to him at the end of the night. Took the unusal action of leaving my number at the stage door the next day (how sad is that!!!!). He called and suggested meeting for a drink after the show. So I went along. He said he had liked me the week before - but hadn't been in the frame of mind to 'meet' anyone as the show is going on UK tour until the end of July. So I was surprised when he asked to meet again the next Saturday before the tour started. When I got home, he called for 1.5 hours, saying he wanted to chat some more. Anyway - he didn't call about this next date. I texted - saying I guessed he wasn't around as I hadn't heard from him. He called and said he wanted to be 'honest' with me. That he likes me - but right now things are really hectic, that he's touring nationwide and working 6 out of 7 days a week, and he's moving house. Basically, he doesn't have much time - and feels it's unfair to make arrangements and let me down. But - that this would be temporary, that he wants to keep in touch through the tour - and meet up when things are less hectic. I said he could be honest - it was no problem, we'd only met once etc etc. He said he was ringing to be 'honest' - and would be mature enough to say if he didn't want to see me again. OK - I know that only answer is to 'wait and see' - but what do you reckon?!! Thanks for reading!!!!
ggallin13 Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 He sounds like he is being honest, I would just wait and see. What I would not do is push harder, as you'll creep him out and he'll split.
agnf666 Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I would keep in touch and wait and see what happens. That would be the best thing to do if you like him. If you just want to be friends just talk to him everyonce in a while or something. He is leading a really busy life so I wouldn't pressure him to much to be in a relationship....
Marshbear Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 If he liked you that much and was as busy as he says he would still have found the time to call you and tell you the situation. The fact that you had to text him, then he called and gave you excuses why he didn't keep the date should be giving you red flags. I would say he's not that into you and was just being nice.
Author Peasle Posted May 1, 2005 Author Posted May 1, 2005 Hi! Thanks to you all for replying. A little update: I texted him during a performance to say Happy New Home because I knew he just got his keys. Really I just wanted to see if he replied. He replied immediately - told me about his week, asked after me etc - seemed friendly. Said he would speak to me in "November! He he", which he also said on the phone last time we spoke and found it absolutely hilarious. So I presume he's joking. I sent back a cheeky text saying 'yes very good, laughing boy', but that he'd be laughing on the other side of his face if he forgot my birthday. So - I now have to wait and see. It has been left that he will call me - so I don't feel that I can really call him just for a chat etc. (Plus he has to make the next move). My birthday is mid May - so I'll see if he remembers and drops me a text. Thanks again!
