riversidemf Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Some context. This guy I'm interested in asked me if I wanted to ride his 4 wheeler with him and I declined because I'm scared of the speed. In response he said " you won't get hurt around me". I know when you like someone you tend see things more than they actually are. This also happened in text so I don't know the tone. Also, he rides with his boys too so I'm not special in that way. " you won't get hurt around me "made my heart drop. Am I being ridiculous? And need to get my head out of the clouds?

Alpacalia Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Sounds like a sweet and flirty comment on his end. What did you say back to him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Author riversidemf Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 Just now, Alpacalia said: Sounds like a sweet and flirty comment on his end. What did you say back to him? After he said that I wouldn't get hurt around him. He asked me why I thought that he was reckless. I told him because that's what I've seen from his actions. And then he said it's like I watch him like he's a wild animal or something. And I told him I don't watch in bad judgmentmental way. And then he asked me " in what way then"? And of course I couldn't tell him my real feelings and didn't respond. The text convo went along those lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Author riversidemf Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 I low key thought he was trying to bait me into telling him my feelings for him when he asked "in what way then"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Author riversidemf Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 I sat on it. I think he was just implying that he doesn't think I'd get hurt around him because he's a good driver. 😑 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 He was flirting. You think he's wreckless. Are you attracted to bad boys? A real adult man does not play text games to know if a woman likes him. He comes forward with a date invitation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A real adult man does not play text games to know if a woman likes him. He comes forward with a date invitation. He has never asked me out on a date. For a quick second, I thought him asking if I wanted to go for a ride was him wanting one on one time with me, but then I realized he does ask his boys too. At a recent party he asked me if I wanted to leave the party and go smoke, he didn't invite anyone else to come along, again I took that as him wanting one on one time with me. I can't help but think that I'm doing alot of wishful thinking with him. Besides in person, I always initiate contact, which is rare. But in person, he comes to me and tends to want to be around me, that's factual. He has told me as soon as I leave a party the party dies out. So he may just enjoy my engery, nothing more. He's wreckless because he's an adrenaline junkie, not sure if he's a bad boy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Yes, it's something a guy says when he's attracted to her. What are you doing to show interest in return? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What are you doing to show interest in return? I think I made it clear one night when I got really touchy feely with him but he didn't reciprocate the touching so I never shown interest again.

Don't go against your own instincts just to 'hang out' like one of the boys. His invitation doesn't make him a villain, but it's not an activity you're wild about. No amount of bravado can prevent someone else from getting hurt when doing something potentially dangerous, especially when they're only doing it to please someone else. Hang in there, and my fingers are crossed for you getting a nice date. Edited September 30 by Leihla_B 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillafool Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I guess I would say he's being flirty but the same thing happened to me when I attended my aunt's funeral. She was buried 40 miles from the church where the funeral was held and I sat in the front seat with the limo driver because the back was full. It was raining hard and I was noticeably uncomfortable as I always am when driving in the rain. He said "Are you nervous?" I told him "yes I get scared driving in the rain." He said "As long as you are with me, I'm not going to let anything happen to you." I know he wasn't flirting, I'm a married woman. But, in your situation he very well could have been flirting and his question, "in what way then?" Could have been him baiting your feelings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm so use to guys moving fast and coming on intensely. This one confuses me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
