Maybe He Did Want To Hang Out With Me....  |
|
 I had started a couple discussions a couple weeks ago about a guy that some women wanted to fix me up with. I had mentioned about how I had invited him to go to a softball game with me and he turned me down, so I didn't have plans of asking him to do anything else. Well, my mother came up for a visit this weekend and she went to visit her friend (who is wanting us to hook up) and she said that she talked to this guy for awhile and he told her that he had wished that he had went with me that night. My mom told me about the conversation and told me that maybe I should ask him to do something else again. So, there was a fair in town that I was going to be taking my children to and I told her that I would ask him to go to it but I didn't want to sound desperate or anything. She said, that yeah, she thought maybe it would sound desperate. So, she called to check on her friend and she just out of the blue asked him if he wanted to come (as if she was inviting him). He said, "Yes," then she hung up and said, "He said for you to call him and let him know what time you are going to pick him up"(he doesn't drive). I just said, "Oh, okay".  So, I picked him up and we talked all the way to the fair, then talked the whole time at the fair. He really seemed to have a good time, at least I hope he did. My mom took the kids home that night so I could spend some alone time with him and we walked around the fairgrounds and talked, then we left to take him home. On the way home he said that he wanted to go to a movie with me sometime and asked me for my phone number(as he didn't really have it, the ill lady he lives with does) so he had a pen and paper and wrote it down. Then we got to his house and he wanted me to go in and visit with him and this lady. I told him that it was late and I didn't want to wake her and he said, "Oh, no, she stays up late. We were up until 3 am talking last night". So, I went in for about half an hour, it was a nice visit. When I was leaving, he walked me to the door and thanked me for inviting him and said he had a good time. He also added that we would "definitely" have to go to a movie sometime so I told him to just give me a call and we would.
I really think it went well. We seemed to really click. I'm not getting my hopes up about anything "romantic" but it would be nice to have a friend to hang out with and have fun. I'm really hoping that he does want to do something sometime. My mother had these words of encouragement for me last night, "Who cares if anything romantic happens between you two. He seems nice and he is definitely nice to look at. So if you are just friends then that is nice too". I told her that I totally agreed with her.
Now I have some things that my mother left for her friend and I am supposed to take them by there tomorrow after work, so I am really hoping things go well...
So, that's the update for any of you who may have been wondering...wish me luck!

| singlemommy (976) | 5 months ago | Yes, this is definitely a "take it slow as friends" thing and see where it goes. I'm not going to get my hopes up about something romantic when he may just need a friend right now. I could definitely use a good friend too and if something happens then it does and if it doesn't then I totally gained a new friend. Thanks for leaving me a comment! | |

| 4. zandi458 (5959) | 5 months ago |  Finally you have broken the ice and something interesting is happening here. I think you played your game well of keeping your distance and silence for a while. It must have kept him thinking and wondering about you but dared not make the first move. Men can be shy sometimes. So when your mum gave him an open invitation he quickly jump on it and agreed. I presume he has been waiting for you to asked him out but your 'not too eager' attitude has made him think that you are in fact not in a hurry to date him out. Men sometimes are frightened of women's first move. He might think that he as a man should initiate the first move. But your silence did the trick and finally he consented to go out with you. I hope the best for both of you.

| singlemommy (976) | 5 months ago | Yes, I had no intentions of asking him to do anything else because I just figured that he wasn't interested. I'm glad that he is interested in being friends. Thanks for the comment! | |

| 5. geminikid (1071) | 5 months ago |  Good luck on this. Hope it turns out well, and that he will "romance your socks off" one day. Chivalry is definitely not dead in my book:)

| singlemommy (976) | 5 months ago | Thanks for the encouragement. I'm not getting my hopes up just yet about the "romance" part. I'm happy to have a new friend and it means a lot to me. Maybe one day he will "romance my socks off". I could really use a good man in my life, but even if it never reaches that level of a relationship then I will be happy with the friend I have. Thanks again! | |

| 6. jbrooks0127 (1717) | 5 months ago |  Well singlemommy that is quite a story. I would hazard a guess from what you say here that he did have a good time and is interested in you.
Regardless there is one thing you need to do. Think of what you want and go with it. If you are truly only looking for a friend to do things with then make that clear to him up front. If you are open to more later depending, then handle it that way.
We all need love and if you have a chance at something that will work for you never ever pass it up. You will be forever sorry. If the relationship doesn't work out...well at least you tried.
I wish you the very best for you need.

| singlemommy (976) | 5 months ago | Yes, if it comes to a point where both of us would want to give it a try then I would be willing to give it a shot. If it doesn't work out then it just doesn't. I am happy to have a new friend though. | |
