Lianna Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I met a very nice man on a long-haul flight, and we talked almost uninterruptedly during the 10 hours the flight lasted. He was not flirty at all, but warm and friendly. We exchanged contact info and have kept in touch frequently by email. He is at least 15 years older than me, but I have friends of all ages and of both sexes, so I have not thought of this as anything but a nice, new acquaintance. I thought he too saw this as a friendship, but lately I've begun to wonder if he could be wanting something more. He has repeatedly said that he hopes to meet me again and that he greatly appreciates writing with me. He says that he feels like we have a lot in common, both in the way we think and our shared interests, which is true. He has invited me to visit him this fall, to go hiking with him, to which I've said yes. We both like to travel and have recently talked about past travel experiences. In his latest email he wrote that he could easily imagine doing a longer trip with me. I would like to travel with him too, when I've gotten to know him a little bit better. But I wonder if this means he wants more than a friendship? I'm very intrigued by him, but for now, I just see him as a friend. Am I naive when I think he also sees this as a friendship? Or is it likely that he is interested in something more? Thank you for helping!!
Robratory Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 It's extremely unlikely that his interest is merely platonic. The fact that he's not very aggressive suggests that he's aware of the distance and age difference, but something's building up in his mind, for sure. He could find a hiking partner locally. There are probably even hiking groups he could join, but his interest is in you, not in the activity.
