How Can I Help Move This Thing Along

[gray2222]

So I'm 41 and I've been seeing this guy who's about 55 or so on the train for the past few YEARS. We never really spoke until a couple of years ago when I was walking to get on the train and he must have thought I was smiling at him and he smiled and said hello. I was actually laughing at something the woman behind me said about metro.

Then he started speaking to me each day just saying Hi and smiling. A month ago he worked up the nerve to sit beside and we have a conversation. Let me explain that there is something unspoken but unmistakable going on between us and we both know it. The first time he sat beside me was the day after I had to sit facing him as he sat beside and talked to this other train rider who was clearly throwing herself at him. I didn’t look at him when I got off the train. I was just a little embarrassed and feeling like he was stupid because he was too chicken to talk to me.


The next day, he made a deliberate effort to make sure he sat beside me and he asked if how old was my son he saw me with previously, when I said 7, he said "and he takes up all of your free time." I didn’t reply. It was like he was trying to explain to me why he wouldn’t "put the moves on" me. That's how I know that we BOTH know what's going on.

Anyway, we see each other twice a month or so these day, but I have not seen him sept or oct. yesterday was the first time I saw him in 2 months and he actually put his arm around my waist and said, "it’s always a pleasure to see you." we chit chatted as I walked downstairs for me next train, he was going to keep straight to exit the station, but he actually kissed me on the cheek goodbye. I lean toward him for the kiss. It just felt like we were already in love.


This is good because the last time I saw him I had decided to dismiss him as a stupid fool for good because after we got off the train and he was turning off to exit the station he said "I'll talk to you later sweetie." I almost touched my hand. I figured he was hiding all this time because he did that. It just rolled off his tongue. Clearly, he didn't plan to say it.

I think he's been seeking advice and a wise person told him he's stupid and he'd better make is BIG move immediately. Now, how can I ask for him number. I don’t want to wait on him. It could take years. He's older and doesn't understand a lot of the flirty things I do. I think he has to go to others and have them explain it to him. I guess they told him I stare at his mouth when he is talking because I want a kiss.

What shoudl i do to gt this started the next time I see him. i was thinking of saying, "George, can you take my number in case I get lost?" I saw my niece use that one her fisrt day of college. She was smooth.

First of all, are both of you single and available? If not, you're not getting any help from me.
