I want to get to know him better but I probably messed it up :/
Question Posted Tuesday March 15 2011, 1:14 pm
So basically I hooked up with this guy the first time we hung out. He was someone I've always had my eye on but thought I would never be good enough for. So when he initiated that he wanted to hookup I had no hesitation to do it. I'm friends with alot of people that know him and say he's a really good guy and not a player or anything like that. We've talked only once since then (it's been about a month). But I'm feeling myself actually wanting to date him. I'll see him during spring break but I'm not really the kinda girl to ask a guy out. I know you can't make someone like you, but I don't want to be remembered as easy because i hooked up with him so fast. I don't think he wants anything serious but me neither. I just want to get to know him better. Like a date.. What should i do?

DetectiveFingerling answered Friday March 25 2011, 11:34 am: Flirt with him, but don't just flirt, be friendly as well. You need to come off like you're truly interested in him while also displaying that you're worth interest as well. If it doesn't work don't assume you failed, he may just truly not be interested. Don't overdo it. If you give him time to get to know you then he may grow to be as interested in you as you are in him.

Sorry, that ship sailed the night you slept with him. You can't erase a first impression. The only way to get to know him better now is to ask him out on a date and make up your mind that you aren't going to sleep with anyone unless you are in a committed, monogamous relationship first. Another hook-up only solidifies his idea of you as "easy". Sex is good for temporary attention, but long-term interest requires self-control.
