I met a med school friend of my brother's on New Years Eve. We went to New Orleans, so it was a good time..we ended up making out that night.
He added me on Facebook as soon as he got home [he goes to school in my home town], asked for my number, and we have been texting ever since. I am in my last year of undergrad 4 hours away, so I'm not in town much for him to ask me out on a proper date. He also claims to be shy and "bad with girls." When I have come home, I've met up with him and our mutual friends on two different occasions. The last time I ended up staying with him (no sex).
I realize it hasn't been that long and he's VERY busy with med school, but I'm worried that he might view us as 'friends with benefits.' We had one awkward text conversation not long ago.. we were discussing the fact that we didn't have sex, and I said that's because I don't have casual sex. He then kept talking in circles about what casual meant. I thought (incorrectly) that he was trying to fish for my feelings on us. I told him that even though I like him, I won't have sex with someone unless I'm in a trusting relationship with them.
At different points in the convo he made comments like "I'm not very good at relationships so I have a hard time determining where I am on the casual spectrum." ..and.. "I think you're fun but I haven't been around you enough to know if I like you like that yet. It takes me a while to figure that out."
Fair enough. I told him we're on the same page, because we are.. I'm just interested in getting to know him better and see where things go.
He and a friend of his agreed to go with me and a friend to this Mardi Gras ball on Friday. I just found out that they already went to another ball a couple nights ago with two other girls. Obviously he's allowed to do that, but it makes me think he isn't that interested in pursuing me romantically.
Should I have another convo with him when the time is right? Or does he definitely think of me as a booty call, and I should let it go?
