I had many conversations with a guy I fancied.He flirted
with me, accidentally touched my leg and apologised, and replied to all my
texts. He never sent me one text though which was odd. He invited me out with
his mates once and I went but think I came on too strong (i texted him and asked
him out again as soon as I got home) The following week i asked him out again
and he said he would let me know but never got back to me. i decided to leave it
and play it cool. Then 5 days later I had a car crash and texted him to tell
him, I also added that I wouldnt bother him anymore with my texts. he replied
immediately saying I wasnt bothering him and asking if I was alright. he also
added lots of humourous comments. This is mixed messages. Does it sound like he
does like me? Maybe I should try the direct face to face invite out instead of
text?Sam's Response
Very difficult questions you asked there. I am not sure whether I can
answer them accurately. I will break down each of your questions and answer them
individually.
Men don't accidentally touch a woman's leg. This was done on purpose especially
seem as though he was flirting with you at the time. What was your reactions
when he touched your leg? Did you react negatively in any way? If you did, he
may have drawn the conclusion that you didn't fancy him.
What type of bloke is he? Is he a verbally confident type of guy or is he a bit
shy? If he is the confident type guy: he is probably trying to make you do all
work. In other words you text him and show him how much you want him. If he is
the shy kind of guy, he will probably hold back from texting you because he does
not want to seem like a stalker. Moreover I always find that women give overkeen
men the flick, so he may have learnt from past experiences not to contact women
too much too soon.
It is true that coming on too strong can scare many men off. Well it depends
what you mean by coming on too strong. Most men don't want to see any signs of
commitment to a relationship for the first few dates. And commitment includes
overly possessive body language such as snuggling up to him when he is with his
friends or using possessive language.
But if you meant you came on too strong by offering him sex, then maybe he is
the very rare shy type of guy that doesn't like jumping at a sexual opportunity.
To most men, sex is not classed as commitment and therefore that is not classed
as coming on too strong. Sounds odd but that's the way men think!
However in your case it does not look good. You have asked him out twice and
asking him out once should have been enough. I advise you to forget about him
and move onto someone else.
Unfortunately, no I would say he probably does not fancy you. Sorry to give you
such bad news! If he really did fancy you, he would have jumped at your first
attempt to ask him out, or at least the second.
My best friend often texts women back when he is drunk, looking for sex or
lonely. He does not want a long term relationship with any of them, he just does
it on the spur of the moment. He then asks the women to come out with some of
his friends on the spur of the moment. Then when it gets to the date, his mood
is totally different because he is not drunk, not lonely and not gagging for
sex.
In your case you have made it clear that you fancy him, if he wants to take it
further, he should be the one taking it further not you.
I would say your chances of being with him were blown on the first night when he
touched your leg and then said sorry about it. It did not necessarily go wrong
because of your fault but was maybe that first night when you were not in sync
with each other. It was not meant to be, so move on.
