does he or does he not type of question

Ok. don't want to bore you guys but this thing has been bothering me so much that it's giving me insomnia. Basically, I met this guy online. Chatted a little bit and etc and i suggested if we could go out for drinks sometime. He said yes set the date and everything but I met him beforehand because he asked me if I wanted to go for coffee and I said yes. Coffee went well. We chatted for more than an hour or so just about everything, mostly travelling and past experiences. Then came the end of it, he asked me if I wanted to go for a drink, I said yes. so we moved on to a pub, drank and then o another one(you get the idea). We talked even more. More personal stuff i.e. family, friends and some other random things. It's all great. We spent about 5 hours together but unfortunately i have to go home. We took the tube. and that's it. I really enjoyed the moment that I smiled at him on the underground and he smiled back.
First question:
Was that a date or not? Neither one of us said explicitly whether it is or it isn't. It felt like i but at the same time we didn't really do anything "datey" such as physical contact (but i did touch his arms to point out something)or even a kiss at the end of it(we were in the tube). I did touch his arms but just to point on something.
Second question:
Does he like me or not? Its hard to tell. So many personal stuff has been discussed but no romantic details were discussed. I didn't even asked him if he's single or not(which is important). We had a very personal chat but it's hard to tell if he likes me or not as a lover and not as a friend. He texted me after the rendezvous that he's looking forward to meet me again(which is soon).
I'm so sorry to sound so paranoid but this is bugging me so much!

cheers for any replies

Ask him.

Take it easy, see how it goes. If you 'clicked' then that's good news, but it takes a lot more than 5 hours for me to decide whether I like a girl.

Oh for goodness' saaaaaake. You really need to relax, of course you wont have been discussing the future of the relationship the first time you meet up! That would be seriously weird.

He wants to see you again, he suggested meeting you sooner and asked that you stay for longer, he texted you after! Blatently for the win.

Yeah, I think he likes you as well.

Why not try to arrange it so the next date ends in a more private place, then you could have a chance for the first kiss, if thats what you want.

Just take a deep breathe n take each day as it comes with him. It sounds to me like he is keen on you, wanting to see you more etc so thats a good thing, next time you meet up or chat ask him if he's single otherwise you might never find out.
To me it does sound kinda like a date but then it could also just be 2 friends going on a bar crawl. Your getting to know each other, so dont rush things and just see where the wind takes you

I didn't kiss my bf until the fourth date! I don't think he even put his arm around me/held my hand until the third. Having subsequently asked him (purely out of curiosity) why he waited so long, he said it was because he didn't want me to think he was just out for a shag. :smile:
If you think he likes you, which it looks to me as if he does, then you're probably right.

He probably just wants to get to know you as a friend first and doesn't want to leap in there at the deep end. I think he likes you too, see him again!
