Should I go for it? oh, and sorry for the length!!
Question Posted Sunday December 12 2010, 2:48 pm
Forgive me for being so naive when it comes to these sorts of things in advance. See, I was with the same guy for four years. We dated all throughout high school and broke up a few days after graduation. It was so incredibly difficult, but now that it's been a good seven months since we broke up, I'm ready to be in a relationship again. The thing is, I'm not 100% sure how this dating thing works anymore lol, so bare with me here. So, there is this guy that I met in my Geology class in August. I've liked him from the start really. He walked me to where I park my car every day we have class together. One day about 2 weeks ago, we were arguing flirtatiously about who was better at twister. So, we decided to hang out to find out who was better. So he came over and we played Twister and when we got close, he kissed me. The thing is, after we kissed for awhile, he told me that he had to go bc his friend and him had plans. We haven't really hung out since. However, on the last day of our Geology class(Friday) he told me that if I wanted a rematch in Twister, to just let him know. So, I texted him when I got home about it and he said that he's been really busy with finals and such and that we would hang out soon. But I seem to be the only one who makes an effort. I always text him first and such. Soooo, should I continue to be the first one to text him? should I ask him when he wants to hang out even though hes busy? should I let him do the chasing? what should I do??? Do you think he's just in this for a good time or whats the deal? I'm so confused. Please help me!!

Your question isn't that long :p Ok, so he sounds sweet right away with the 'he walked me to my car every day'. Then, with the whole Twister thing.. That idea right there was his way for him to be close to you. He definately likes you if he initiated being close and then kissed you too! :) Lucky girl. By him saying to you that 'if you wanted a rematch in Twister, to just let him know' sounds like a flirt. He was probably really asking you if you would like another kiss! (or at least to get close again) :p You never know.
If he says he is busy with Finals, then he likely is. My guy tends to be busy with Finals alot and as long as I listen, he makes time for me. The way your guy acts around you makes him seem like the kind of guy that wouldn't just get close to someone and then not give any effort. I think you should keep texting him first every now and then. If you always do it all the time, he won't ever think of texting you first and then you may think he is ignoring you. Yes, I would ask him if he wants to hang out even if he is busy. That shows him you are interested and you would really like to spend time with him, if he would like to spend time with you. It seems as if he isn't going to do much chasing at the moment since he is busy.. but later on feel free to let him chase a bit. Guys find that intriguing.
You should keep casually asking him if he would like to hang out and even ask him to schedule a day for the both of you to do that. If the guy picks the day, they are more likely to be there. He knows what his schedule is like. When you do text him, ask him how his finals went and reassure him that he probably did a good job. As long as you support him, he will likely try to be there for you. I don't think he is in this just for a good time. I think he is a busy guy. Keep trying to plan days with him and encourage what he does give you: Tell him you loved when you played Twister that first time or specifically when he kissed you. If you show you are interested, he should definately return the affection. Hold onto him tight, he seems like a great guy! <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
