Okay - don't be too harsh. My last relationship was emotionally abusive, it took me many, many years to realise this and it has made me doubt my judgement with men. This is the first guy I have been interested in since then.
I go to a class and there is a guy I met a couple of classes ago I thought maybe liked me. Last class, last night, I was certain he did, he was clearly asking questions to see if I was single. He also asked me if I knew many people ( I am new to the area) and he said, 'I will give you my number at the end of the class, maybe we could be friends'. At the end of the class I asked him if he would like to go to the pub. He looked really pleased. We went and had a couple of drinks. I thought it went well - I had a great time and he seemed to too. At the end he said, 'I will give you my number and you can call me if you want to meet again' I said,' I asked you for a drink, it is your turn to ask me out' (but maybe he never heard me as he was putting his number in my phone). He walked me to the bus and hugged me as we parted. Perhaps embarrassingly, I texted him when I got home saying ' I like you' He texted back ' I like you too x'
But I have heard nothing since. I really did like him. He was warm, open, friendly, interesting, empathetic, and appeared genuinely interested in me. And physically I am really attracted to him.
My past relationship has made me very wary of seeking to hold onto someone who does not treat me well. I want to text him and ask him if he would like to meet again, but feel like I have already twice put my self out there in making it clear I am interested. Should I text or will I be pathetically pursuing someone who is not that interested?
