Does he like me?

I finally gathered the courage to message my hallway crush on instagram and it went really well, he said he noticed me around too and thinks im cool. We’ve been talking all day and at night too since, he invited me to his house to watch stuff, he said he’s gonna take me to the shops so we can pick out snacks and stuff and that’s he’s gonna arrange and clean his room for the hangout.

The main that throws me off is that he calls me bro a lot, I can’t tell if this is just because of his vocab or this is because he just sees me a new friend. I don’t want to see it as romantic if it’s not and get disappointed I’m not just sure. He shows a lot of interest to me and asks me a lot of questions.

some men are like this, my ex was. Its just part of their lingo. if you do go romantic it likely wont change, so keep that in mind if youre thinking of taking him seriously. you'll always be a bro to a guy like that.
Er, shouldn’t your first couple of meetings be somewhere public? Come round my house and we’ll have snacks = red flags to me.

Also “I’ll tidy my room”. Is he really young?

I mean it’s because we both like this one show so we are gonna watch it together. He’s 19 and I’m 18

Well, call me sceptical but I don’t think watching tv is going to be his priority.

agree with Admit, it doesnt sound very serious, if the first date he isnt taking you out. Having snacks and watching shows is something you do when youre more committed and comfortable being casual, calling you "bro" and only inviting you to his room means you arent serious to him. and yeah he's your hallway crush? and youre comfortable just going to his bedroom immediately? keep yourself safe, girly.

It’s just that I’m not sure this is a first date if you know what I mean, like I’m unsure if this is a date for him or just a hangout with a new friend, I’m unsure what he thinking. If I were hanging out with a new friend I wouldn’t think anything of just watching something at their house, I don’t know if he has more in mind since the bro thing seems very friend like

Have you spoken to him much before this? what do you even mean by "hallway crush"? How did you know him on Instagram?

A hallway crush just means someone you’ve seen in the halls at college or school or whatever and you think they’re hot. I don’t have any mutual course with him, I’ve seen him around before but I was thinking a lot about him so I asked my friend for his instagram since they do the same course

yeah its defo not just in a friend way. He probably thinks you're pretty and may have surface level feelings but if he properly develops feelings depends on how well you guys actually hang out. Texting and talking in person can be different better or worse. But I wouldn't worry too much about the bro part I know many that call their gf part, if he truly did see u as just a friend he would probably invite someone else along its highly unlikely that it would be just you two. Anyways update us on how it goes!!

It ended up going well !! He said he had a really good time and wants to hang out again so we are next week at my house. We cuddled and stuff so I think that confirms that’s it’s a more than friend deal that he is also thinking I guess
