Is he really interested in me or is he just being nice?

[lmyers]

My husband passed away and I have been out of the dating game so long I am not sure how to read the signs anymore. HELP !!!!!

 

I have been talking with a guy that my husband and I knew/know. Not well but we knew/know him to see him around. Anyway we have met in a casual atmosphere a couple of times. Each time I thought I saw signals of interest like; certain glances, looks, winks. Finding excuses to touch me wether it be on the arm, leg and even a hug once. We have even shared drinks (he'll try my drink and I will try his). On our last encounter I gave him my number, he seemed receptive to this. However, he said that he is not interested in any serious relationships right now (becuase he has just gotten a divorce, which I knew about) but would like to go out as friends and if something grows of it so be it. I told him this is perfect for me because I am still trying to get over husbands death and what ever I do, I need to take things slow and not rush.

 

My dilema; Does he seem genuinely interested? Did I say the right thing? I have a tendancy of persuing something when I feel strongly about it. I really like this guy and I am really trying to play it cool, so I don't scare him off or rush myself. Please, send me some pointers so I know what to do?

Relax. Yes, he seems interested to me but maybe he's only interested in a fun relationship and not a serious one. And maybe that's something you should consider since it's your first time out since the husband's death. Get your feet wet dating again and have fun.
