2nd date

Firstly, sorry for posting this as anonymous but I know quite a few people who use TSR and if they're as nosy as I am (which I'm sure they are! lol) then they would find this post and read it if I posted it under my name. SORRY!!!

Right, I met this guy recently (lets call him jo) and he asked me out on a date. Before I met up with him I was worried that it would be awkward because we didn't know each other at all (just small talk at a party!) But it was such a good night (meal and cinema) and we got on so well. I was totally myself and didn't feel like I had to flirt or try too hard to impress him, just cos he was such a nice guy and we had so much in common. Nothing happened, as in we didn't kiss/ hold hands etc because I think that would have ruined things cos we were just getting on so well as friends. Now I think I really really like him and want to be more than just friends but he's gone back to uni now which makes things a bit difficult! We don't talk that often but we are going to meet up when he's back from uni.

I'm worried that he thinks I don't like him in THAT way because I was clearly not trying too hard to impress or flirt too much, as a lot of girls do! My friend recently spoke to jo's best mate who told her that jo really likes me but doesn't know if he fancies me in that way and doesn't think I fancy him.

Right, so here's the question (sorry this message is soooo long!) How do I make it clear to him that I like him as more than just a friend next time we meet up, without resorting to being a pathetic flirt.

Cheers for any advice given!!! Much appreciated. xxxxx

The answer to your question is, of course, jump him. Seriously though, talk to him. If you could get a number or email address, sooner would be better, I think.
Yeah, if you could get his MSN or something it'll be easier to let him know you like him subtly (if that's what you want).

i have his number but i don't want to seem pathetic and needy by texting him all the time as he's really busy at uni atm and sometimes when i comment him on myspace or text him he takes a few days to message back (which is slightly rubbish!!) lol. I just need to know what to do when we next meet up. Do you think I should let our friendship develop or should I not bother and, instead, just make it clear how I feel from the start?? Cheers.
Hah, it's up to you . You're in the easier position :If a guy does the making clear thing too much he look like some stalker, whereas most guys would be chuffed that you like them.


EDIT: Used the wrong spelling of "too" ;-)

lol. cheers! that is a good point. and I guess he was the one who asked me out first so hopefully he'd be flattered. I just don't wanna feel stupid. meh.

What do the rest of you reckon then?
I was just in the same situation. I really, really liked this guy but I couldn't work out if he saw me just as a friend, or more. We went out 2 or 3 times and I didn't want to embarrass myself by assuming he liked me, so I just acted really friendly, a bit touchy-feely but not overly flirty, and was just myself. The last time we went out he said he really liked me and asked if I wanted to go out :biggrin: He had been feeling the same way and he wasn't sure if I liked him. I'm glad he had the courage to ask me because I never would have! So I would say to just keep being really friendly and wait for him to ask you and see what happens.

he's told people about you right? so could you not kind of let him know through them that you like him. as in, tell your friend that you kinda fancy him a bit or something and let her let his best friend know? sounds kind of immature but ... ?
