SmallWonder Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Hey Again. Recently I went to dinner with my...Uh, Guy Friend. We're walking line between good friends and boyfriend/girlfriend. Taking is slow, seeing how it goes.... We had been on the phone and I had mentioned this GREAT retaurant that I wanted to go to and had a coupon for that expired soon (I was totally hinting). He said, "Well then we should go." So he gave me dates to pick from and we went. I paid for drinks at the bar (after a little fuss from him) and he paid for the dinner without question. The other night we were on the phone and I said I'd like to go bowling (don't ask me why) - it would be a blast, and I told him so. He said, "Why don't you take ME bowling?" So what was that? If he didn't want to do something with me, he would have said something like 'bowling sucks' right? Should I ask him to do something else? I feel like I asked him to dinner by hinting at it. I don't want to have to be the one to keep initiating dates, but if he's letting me is that a problem? I don't want to be the man in this relationship....
Outcast Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Your are voicing preferences and he's picking up on them and willing to join you. What's wrong with that? He was maybe wondering where to ask you out to and you made it easy for him by telling him what you liked. Don't drive him nuts by now refusing to go places you already said you wanted to go. And sure, take him bowling. It's not like it's expensive and it'll be fun for you.
Author SmallWonder Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 I guess what I mean is: I've always been told by my mother not to call boys and only desperate woman 'chase' men. I know that's not true these days, but it's in the back of my mind everytime I call him or suggest doing something with him. He'll always SAY he's going to call but it might take him a week or two to actually do it, and I hate waiting around for things to happen....
