Can I just say that I love this thread. That’s all.
Money… I would be super annoyed. Good luck. I hope he steps it up.
I like Regina’s advice. There’s a strong chance I would do something similar.
I think that’s a good sign…
I don’t always have the next time I’m going to see the guy worked out when we end a date. I think you just need to give him a few days. I hope he is the one to suggest something though. I would probably hold off until he does, but I might hint at it.
Ver – this was what, your third date? And it just ended yesterday morning? I wouldn’t be too concerned yet that he didn’t suggest a get together. I would give him a few days to suggest before thinking the worst.
However, knowing myself, I would echo others in that I don’t think I would suggest something. I would want to see where his head is at.
Let us know if he gets a hold of you today or tomorrow! I think that will be telling also.
Yay Money! Have a great date tomorrow!!!!
@diane, this is a thread about dating in general. No specific advice was asked… It’s for fun. And sometimes people don’t like hashing out dating specifics with friends. This is the perfect spot to discuss.
Also, Ver, it would be so easy to meet somewhere in the middle on a Sunday. I would totally drive that distance to spend an afternoon with someone I cared about.
Happy birthday to you too Lianne!!!!
Snoopy… that sounds pretty much like me. I’ve talked with this about my therapist and there is no real solution except do it and practice. But it’s still so hard!
Ver… that sounds awesome. Three hours is a long drive on a weeknight. I was going to suggest meeting half way, but that’s still three hours total. I’m not sure what to suggest. Do you ever have the option of working from home? Also, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
Thanks Regina and Lianne!
And yes, expressing any feelings or in a non joking or non sarcastic manner is an effing huge deal to me. Luckily, he does know this about me because I kind of told him that stuff makes me uncomfortable. I think I told him that on the first date.
Kate…. we’re a couple. We haven’t explicitly said we’re exclusive…. but we are. Yes, I should just say it out loud. To him. Ugh. I hate it though. It stresses me out just thinking about it.
Lianne…. it is progressing naturally! Nothing is forced at all. God, I like him.
I just know in past relationships I haven’t expressed how I feel about someone, which has caused problems because you know, people think I’m not into them nearly as much as they were into me. Anyway, I’m trying to rectify my being so damn cautious with putting myself out there. I suck at being vulnerable.
Alright. I won’t stress. Hopefully I’ll want to spontaneously tell him how I feel sometime soon. I’ll continue to let things just happen.
Ver – how was your weekend date?!?
So… I kind of think I’ve fallen for this guy. He was out of town over the weekend with friends, but we texted a little bit. During the exchange yesterday, my heart grew three sizes too big and I could have easily said the l word.
I’m not good discussing or even saying feelings. It makes me extremely uncomfortable and the words always get caught in my throat and I can never quite say them. I know he really likes me. He tells me and shows me. And I want him to know that I really like him. Is it stupid to leave a little note either in his work bag after he’s stayed at my place or on the counter after I leave his? I either want to say “you make me very happy” or “I really like you. You always make me smile.” or something. Both of those have little inside jokes, like the use of the word very. Is this ridiculous? I just feel more comfortable sharing things that way….
Ooh, Kate, I do agree with that too… Chemistry is a very important part of a relationship and it’s better to find out sooner rather than later if all that is going on.
The guy spent a couple days with his parents over the three day weekend. He showed his mom a pic of me. She thinks I’m super cute and she asked when he was bringing me around. So… there’s that.
