Dating advice

Hello!

Over the summer I started an internship and instantly clicked with one of the other interns. We have so much in common it is absolutely ridiculous (freakishly weird similar upbringings and long-term values). Since my birthday (just over a month ago), we have been messaging each other so much - in fact every day now that I think of it and his responses are so fast too! I heard from the other interns he does not message them as much which started my suspicions...

Recently, he begged me to tag along on a museum trip with one of the other interns and later admitted he would have bailed on the other person if I did not go. We also have a routine where we both have breakfast with each other before our shift starts and we catch up on everything! Last week the other interns went out for dinner, him and I were the only ones who did not go out and stayed in the office a bit later. In the end, we both walked around the city and sat in a restaurant for a few hours. He bought everything and would not let me pay - this is not the first time this has happened. He even caught the train and ran with me to make sure I made the overground home!

The other interns have a hunch something is going on between me and him and believe our solo outing was a date. This did not even cross my mind until last week. I am honestly blind when it comes to picking up anything related to cues...

We get along so well and I haven't opened up to anyone this much since my previous ex. Reading this back I think something is going on. I am just confused as to whether he sees me in that way as it was not clear whether we were on a date.

I only have a few weeks left of my internship (he will be staying on for a year). Do you think I should ask him how he feels or wait a few days to see if he opens up? I have been on annual leave for the last five days so haven't seen him!

Thank you!

Hey the fact you posted this at 5 am shows it’s on ur mind

My advice is short and simple.. act or miss out

It’s so rare u find someone in common

I’m incredibly lonely so for someone to pass on something great for them is foolish

Even if nothing comes of it it’s good to speak ur mind and if anything test the waters

Maybe he feels the same way


Hope all goes well

Sounds positive, try to make it happen

Yes, he's into you. He admitted as much when he stated that he would not have attended the museum without you.

Yes, it was a quasi date.

No, you should not wait. Tell him to ask you out, kiss him or just tell him how you feel. Move things forward (he probably hasn't due to the sexual harassment risk if you reject him given the work setting).

I wouldn’t worry too much about trying to figure out if he’s into you, you’re into him! So tell him, in a workplace appropriate way. it’s either gonna be a no or a yes. Either way you’ll get some clarity with the answer.
