he gave me his computer, does that mean anything?


Question Posted Tuesday November 29 2005, 2:14 am

A guy friend of mine just recently announced that he was moving to another province for a job, that was about a 10 hour drive from where I live.
I was hoping that one day we would be bf and gf, so I was quite upset when he told me he was moving, and I said it was probably the last time we would see each other.
Well then HE got upset and said he was still going to visit me. Then when I invited him over he told me he would give me his old computer. Well he was true to his word, and gave it to me the next day.
My question is: Do you think it sounds like he is into me as more than a friend? I think he does because he just offered me his computer, he didnt ask for it. Also he got really upset when I said we would probably never see each other again. I think he gave me the computer so would could contact each other.
What do you think?

If you didn't have a computer beforehand, it's possible. Other than that, he may just not have wanted to take it to the new location. He's interested in you in one way or another, even if it's just as friends. Say something to him! If he likes you back, hopefully you can try the long distance thing. If not, you've got nothing to lose-- he'll be gone, & things won't be as awkward online as they would be in person (if he doesn't feel the same way-- it's easier to handle that online afterwards as opposed to in person, when you'd probably be blushing & it'd just be awkward). This is your chance, don't let it pass you by.

Yeah, I think this guy likes you! If he reacted the way he did when you said you guys wouldn't be seeing each other anymore, then that sure sounds like he likes you and will obviously miss you. Plus, he told you he planned to visit you. Why would he do that if he didn't like you? I think it's so cool that he gave you his computer! What a sweet thing to do. Don't just assume that he hopes to stay in contact with you via computer! Ask him for his e-mail address if you don't know it, and set up an account for yourself, letting him know your address. You'll probably find that he gives you a good reaction and you'll know for sure if he'd like to have that sort of communication with you. Now, if you already have a computer of your own, perhaps this was just a kind gesture - leaving you something of his to hold onto and to remember him by. Doesn't sound at all like he wants you to forget him just because he's moving.

Whether or not he ends up as your long-distance boyfriend, it certainly sounds like you have a great friend in this guy and I wouldn't discount that by any means! You never know what that could turn into!

Good luck. I hope you guys really do stay in contact. I'm guessing you'll both feel a lot better about this move if you do.

That was my first thought. He wants to make sure you can keep in touch with him. Sounds like he was serious about it. He definitely likes you.

I don't know if your relationship will progress past the friends stage so long as he is 10 hours away, but it might if you both work hard at it.

Good luck, and keep in touch with him. Sounds like a good guy. :)
