The Student Room Group

so I met him yesterday and....

Basically yesterday I went out with a group of friends to Chesington World of Adventures. I really enjoyed myself especially as I met new people. One of my friends brought along some of his friends....one of which I really got along with. It's unlike me to form such a connection with someone on meeting them for the first time, but I really like him...and some so extent fancied him. Anyway, to me this was reciprocated. He left early, and didn't get to say bye, but text my friend's mobile specifically to say bye to me. How cute! Anyway I would love to stay in contact with him, but I'm not sure how to go about it casually. I'm not close enough to this guy (the one who brought along the guy in question) and would not really like to say "yeah I like your friend...hook me up". Also I'm not sure if he has a girlfriend or not. A close friend of mine suggested I should try and get closer to this other guy, so that I can stay in contact with the one i like :smile: What do I do?
You certainly do not get "closer" in any kind of relationship sense with this guy who invited you, if that's what you mean. Get his msn address or phone number or something and just chat for a while, then say "oh by the way, that other guy who came along too, I got on quite well with him, mind if I have his phone number?"... or something more subtle, which I don't seem to be doing well right now. :smile:

You could at least ask the guy for the guy you like's number, so you can keep in contact and arrange to meet up or something...

I know...it sounds really bad, like I'm using him or something. But I don't see any harm in me talking to him more for example on msn like you suggested. That I will try and do.

How do you know he wasn't just being friendly?

You should say you really enjoyed the day out and suggest that you all do it again very soon :p:

Yep he could have just been friendly, who's to tell. Either way it'll be cool to meet again because we really got along....I mean it's not like being friends isn't an option, i wouldn't mind that.

^ ditto to Scots_Law... genius idea
He texted your friend's mobile to say goodbye to you. So get his number from your friend's mobile and text him.

He fancies you, by the way.

Yup, why else would he text to say bye to you.

Go for it.

Not as much as I hoped....my friend took lots of pictures, so I'm gonna sneakily ask him to send me some ;grin;

to be frank, i think you should be honest with your mate, and ask him about him..i.e.. if hes got a gf and if not for the number..
you havnt got anything to lose, but you have something to gain, and if you leave it too late he might be gone! :p:

Yeah, my friend won't let me live it down though. I mean if he does have a girlfriend...he'll really embarass me about it. I guess there isn't much avoiding it ..I'll wait a couple of days though. You never know this dude may get in contact with me through my friend...

What do you do? This is what you do. You get his number from your mate and give him a text. That is what you do.

^^Yeah I know, I'm just so nervous...I normally never make an effort with guys...just let things happen. I guess it's the fear of rejection. Also, i'm really worried that he has a girlfriend, because then I'd be embarassing myself. Arrgh...I wish I'd just asked him yesterday. It would have made things so much easier.
