flambouyant

The guy i am interested in is at his mom's place for mother's day. She is like in another city...so i do have his home number, but i am unable to call him, as he isn't there. It's just i don't know if he will call me or not. He didn't say he would, i didn't ask. And i didn't say i would call him. Though like you said Tigris...we should take turns and technically it is my turn to call him. (i'll have to call him when he gets back from visiting his mom...whenever he catches from his mom's town to back here). See the thing that gets me, is i don't know how he feels about me...and for some reason...i really want to know. Think i should call him when he gets back from visiting his mom??? Thanks!

He doesn't have a cell...and he is out of town until monday or whenever i see him next on the bus..... *sighs* Thanks!

Hi All! The guy i am interested in..we had a great date (friday) and he called me today (saturday) to tell me he was unable to come to the movie, as he caught a greyhound bus, to go home and visit his mom, for mother's day. (she lives a ways away.) Which is i think is really really sweet. I am not upset about that...i am pretty impressed that he is taking a greyhound to go visit his mom for mother's day. What i am worried about is this: His baseball game was cancelled and stupid me, i forgot to ask him why they cancelled it....and now i'm wondering if it was truly cancelled, or he is just saying that...like is he interested in me or not?! Like the game is Monday....*sighs*.....and when he called he didn't say he would call and i didn't say i would call....and i would prefer he would call me...any ideas??? Think he will call? Help!!!! Thanks!

Hi All! He and i went on our first "date". I am not sure he thought of it as a date. He was really excited, and not a bit nervous!!! Me i was soo nervous i couldn't stop shaking, i couldn't eat and i was throwing up. But it was worth it....we had a great time. Lots of fun....and lots of laugh and we talked for hours. I really like him. I know i do want to date him, but not at this point, i want to be friends first. (i wasn't friends first with my exs and so we don't talk anymore.) The thing is i don't know if he likes me. I am like seriously stressing about that. (Still shaking, still throwing up). But see the fact that i am soo sick is a good thing. I have never been this nervous about any guy in my entire life (i was very calm and collected). And as you can see i am single now. So my thought is that b/c i am nervous...it means something. He was really respectful of me and was really sweet. I like to pay my own way...it did irritate him, but he was respectful and let me pay my own way. I have discovered he really is into fitness....and i'm not quite into it (not to the magnitude that he is), but i do want to get into better shape....and my friends say that when i meet a guy...that if me and said guy ever date...we could go to the gym together...so i am thinking if this guy and i ever did date, we could go to the gym together. (but i don't know, as i am unsure of whether he likes me or not...) We ended up going to dinner, walking around for about an hour or so, then walked to a movie theatre, and caught a late night flick (Poseidon). And let me tell you, his hugs are to die for!!!!! He holds me really really tight and i'm fairly short and he's really tall, my head fits just under his chin. And when he hugs me, he rubs my back (maybe b/c i was shaking....), But i felt pretty darn safe!!! I was shaking pretty much the entire time we hung out...and i think that may have bothered him, but i am unsure as he didn't say anything and would hold me and hug me at the same time when he noticed my shaking got really bad. He would look at me, notice i'm shaking and say "come here," and wrap his arms around me. When he would hold me, i would stop shaking, and the minute he let go i continued shaking). (I was shivering, partly because it was cold and i nerves...when i'm sick and my nerves are shot, i shiver uncontrollably.) One of the many things i like about him, is he is a very affectionate person. It's not often you find guys that are super affectionate. He makes me laugh, which is awesome as my friends say that i don't laugh enough, that i am too serious. And we were waiting for our respective rides to get us home (his a taxi, me a friend of mine). And we were like hugging (i was shaking again). And then his taxi came and he hugged (real hug) me. And then framed his hands around my face and kissed me on the forehead (hee hee!!!). I literally melted. He was soo nice. But see i don't know if he likes me or not, b/c he wasn't nervous on our outing....i was pretty darn nervous. He was totally excited about it (he kept telling me how excited he was to go to dinner with me). So yeah....maybe he is not sure if he likes me b/c i haven't really told him up front??? I am trying to play it cool...i really want to be his friend first before we date, because i want a foundation to build upon. But that's not really in my nature. (as you can see i am trying to work against it...to be his friend first...i don't want to blow this or screw it up.) The good news is i didn't freak him out!!! I asked him that point blank. (i know i'm an acquired taste.) He said that he was so happy that he met me and i asked him why and he said, "Because you are so friendly, fun and non judgmental." We may be going out today...another movie...but a cheap one with some friends...but he depends on whether or not he is leaving today to go back home to visit his mom for mother's day. (it's not a long ride...it's fairly close.) And monday i am going to his baseball game...get to be a groupie!!! (hee hee). Okay so i think that is the gist of it. Any of you males or females out there can read between his lines??? Does he like me or doesn't he? Thank you all for the taking the time to read this really really long post....it is more me getting everything out and telling it to somebody and to get advice. Thank you for your replies!!!! ANd thank you for reading this...i know it was super long!!!

Hi everyone, I met this guy. He seems really nice and we have some common interests. We are going on a date on Friday. I am really excited about it but nervous. Like really really nervous and anxious. He has some positive things going for him: is respectful of me and women in general, actually listens to what i say, likes to give and receive hugs and is an animal lover (he has a dog). Negatives: smokes. (i am not a smoker). I have discovered that he is really into staying fit and is very outdoorsy. I am outdoorsy, just not as outdoorsy as he is...and i'm into being fit, but more maintaining my weight (5 feet 7 inches, 140 pounds). I think i do like him, but i'm really scared that when we go out on this date, that it's not going to work out, that i may scare him off or he won't like me. Any suggestions for how i should act, what i should say? I really don't want to mess this up and i would prefer to be his friend before we start dating (if we ever do get to that stage)...as i would like a foundation to build on. So friday is the big date...please help!!! What should i not say??? How should i act??? Thank you!!!
