Should I meet him?

On monday I went to the pub with my friend. We got chatting to two blokes, one of them offered to walk us home, we dropped off my friend. When we got back to mine we swapped phone numbers and had a bit of a kiss. Then we sat outside my house and chatted for another hour. He was really sweet and kept saying how much he liked me.

The only trouble is that he is in the army and is only on a weeks leave before going back for two months but he wants us to meet up on friday before he leaves. He was also talking about going out when he comes back and even coming to visit me at uni when I start in september.

I do really like him, but because of past experiences i find it quite hard to trust people. Do you think he only wants to meet up for sex, or should I not judge him by the way other people have treated me because I did really like him, and he did seem genuine and sweet.

Give it a go. If you're worried he's in it for the sex, don't have sex early on?

How do you know he wasn't an Officer?

What's that got to do with the price of eggs?

If he's heading back to the Army then I'm guessing he is looking for a last minute shag. But maybe I'm just cynical. Meet him and see how it goes. If it looks like he's just after sex, don't see him again.

at least he is not a rear admiral
yea why not? and even if it is just for sex just think of it as a going away present lol and if you like him why not, you can wright him letters and stuff....awww that sounds so sweet
He only wants sex. If you wanna give it to him, go for it. If not, then don't.

Even if he wants sex, you dont have to give it him. If you wanna go on a date with him, go for it but dont feel preasured into anything you dont wanna do. You dont know where these army guys have been do you :wink:
See if you can polish his gun instead.

If you think he only wants sex, but would like to be pleasantly surprised, meet up with him on friday, but dont sleep with him. Then, if he still wants to see you after 2 months away then that is not likely to be his sole motive :smile:

Go for it.

Just because he is in the Army should not be a problem. If he wanted just sex i doubt he would use you as most of those kinda people in the army will just pay for it due to lack of time.

If he wants to go on a date then he is probably more into you. I think its nice and he did not demand sex off you before u had a bit off a kiss, :smile: im sure things will go great

Hope this helps
Go with your gut instinct!!

My ex was an officer in the army - very suave, gentlemanly, really knew how to treat a girl well. We got together on a very similar timescale to this one, and what ended up being a problem was the distance when he went to Scotland where his regiment is. It was still great while it lasted, and I don't regret it at all.

If you like him, go for it, but stick to your principles as far as sex is concerned - only give it if you're willing - and have fun! That uniform can look so good!!

if your scared take your friend with you to meet him, that way he won't force you into doing anything you don't want to. He could be genuine though and want to make friends, but don't do anything you'd regret later
