Is there a point?

[kat9013]

I am soon to be 27. I've never been in a serious relationship for no real reason other than I do not really talk to people much. I work 2 part time jobs right now and still live at home. I graduated college over a year ago and am working towards a management position at one of my jobs so I will actually be able to make decent money and adult. Anyway, the other night before close I started talking to a customer as I was checking him out - general chit chat. He mentioned that he had just moved here and did not know anyone. We talked for a few more minutes then he gave me his number. He seemed nice and not like a creepy player (which is usually who hits on me) so I took it. He even made a second trip to the register after that lol. He seemed nice. I just wonder if there is a point to me calling him. I feel like a looser for still living at home broke and I am really shy outside of work. Advice please?

The question is what have you got to lose?

 

If he seems nice and you enjoyed his company for those brief minutes then i don't see why you wouldn't call and explore it.

 

Living at home is not good for dating (I speak from personal experience!) but it can work if you have a plan - and you do have a plan, so it won't come across as if you are broke and homeless.

 

Don't be complacent just because it's comfortable and requires no effort - unless you want to be single forever!

He's interested. He knows where you work he's not looking for a millionaire. Be confident and call him. Go have coffee, whatever and see what happens. What's the worst it could be, bad latte?

I don't actually care if I am single forever lol. I just don't want to waste my time or look like an idiot.

It's just coffee with a guy.

Living at home at 27 isn't the worst thing. I think there is more of a stigma against males living at home at older ages. At least you are working 2 jobs!

Perhaps for him it's a non-issue and if he has his own place, then you can just hang out there if the relationship goes anywhere.

 

Call him up and have a no pressure coffee date.

It wont be waste of time. We always learn from these interactions. Every failure or mistake teaches us something. Just don't feel any pressure about it. From your post, it seems that you like this guys, he is alright.

 

You are doing pretty good, you know where you want to be professionally. You are living at home which is great way to save money.
