I met this guy last summer at a friend’s wedding reception. We were sitting next to each other and chatted all night. However we did not exchange contacts after. About 3 months later my friend somehow mentioned his name during a conversation. I decided to ask her for his contact info as I thought it would be interesting to reconnect. I emailed him with a simple message “hey how are you doing?” to start off and he responded back enthusiastically. We set up a time for dinner shortly afterwards, followed by drinks and had a great time. He paid for both (I did insist to pay as well). Then we went out for 2nd, 3rd and 4th time in 2 months (I was busy at work and we both had trips out of country for almost a month). I paid for us once and he paid the rest. We kept emailing each other the whole time.
I think things are progressing slowly but I am fine with the pace. I’m not the type that rush into relationship easily. It is been 2 weeks now since we‘ve gone out last time. We still email each other every other day but I realize he does not ask me out. I would give hints for example “what’s your plan for the weekend” and his answer is always the same that he has family gatherings. He would mention things about work and family in his email (not just the simple “how are you doing”). Still it bothers me that he is not asking me out again.
My feeling is that I may not be his type but he wants to keep me around for company. Or he just thinks of me as a friend and no more. I decide I will still keep in touch with him via email but not to initiate another date. At the same time I will hang out with other friends and live my life as usual. If he asks me out again then I will go but I don’t want to give myself false hope by keep asking him out.
Guys, what do you think of my case?
