Hello,

So, I met again the second time the guy I had a very positive and a bit overwhelmed impression at the first time.

He lives/works in another region in my country, foreigner. We met briefly months ago, and we kept in touch, first as acquainted, and then friends (via emails mostly). We share quite things in common and interests, and values, too.

Last week, I finally could be able to make a short trip to visit his place (we planned weeks before during a national holidays but I didn't make it). He planned in advance, for an excursion and trekking.

We had two days together, one to see his working place, and another for the trekking. It was very good. I had time both alone with him and with his colleagues, since he was busy and we involved at the beginning as a potential co-workers, but it failed.

During the trip, from his co-workers, I know he used to have a girlfriend. And once I ask him about her, he told me because of some reasons they could not be together, but it doesn't mean he stops loving her. Actually he says like once he loves a person, he would never stop loving. But he is clear that he is single, and we made a joke about I could have to ask permission to come to see him, a single woman comes to see a single man.

He opened up a lot to me, and told me more about his private things, and he even once told me "I trust you a lot to say that" etc. But he didn't try to touch me or anything physical.

He offered to pay for meals, coffees, and took care of my stay, as he said, I already came a long way to see him. When I insisted, saying "I should share, because I want to come here" - and it is the truth, I always wanted to go to the place but I hadn't have chances; he told me "I want you to come, too."

I really got confusion on his reaction. He treated me like a real friend of him, I think. But I secretly hope something more... However, silly enough, I didn't show clear interest to him as well... I didn't try to touch him either.

By the end of my trip, he took me to the bus, I should have hugged him, but I didn't. It was because of the short time the bus stopped, but also because I was scared (not really clear scared what) as well.

He didn't ask me if I arrived safely, but the day after, which meant yesterday, when I sent him an msg on facebook about my thankfulness, he told me "I sent you a telepathic msg to ask if you arrive well, did you receive it?". And then he mentions it used to work with one of his friends, for three times in a row. If he didn't mention his friend, I could think he likes me, but he mentioned about that, so I am more confused.

 

Anyway, tomorrow will be his birthday. He didn't tell me, I figured it out by his co-workers. His sister would be there to celebrate with him - that was what he told after I asked about his birthday. I don't know if I should send him anything special, or at least a text or anything. He once told me he isn't into phone, and his text often short. His emails before were mostly sweet and long, but if I didn't initiate, he would wait for more than a week to ask how I am doing.

 

I totally have no clues if he could have any interest, but I guess the first question will be what should I do for his birthday? Maybe just a text?

And btw, I have zero experiences on dating, so I really need help here.

Thanks.
