Met a guy a week ago at a party. Added him on Facebook and he messaged me. Been chatting for six days. Chat is good but it's time consuming and I am feeling myself starting to get slightly bored. He messages first most of time but yesterday and today I messaged first. Chat is still happening but there's only so much you can say via message and getting a bit strained.

Basically my question is, he hasn't set up or even mentioned a date. I've put in a few hints but he just doesn't seem to be taking them. I would expect by now at least if he was interested he would have asked to meet? Am I expecting too much too soon? I'm not looking for a pen pal. My friend says I need to give it time.

Also I'm not asking him out, I'm just not. I made the first move.

Maybe he is just being polite conversing on FB and he doesn't want to date you.
If you're that interested why won't you ask him out?

I mean the things he is saying, it definitely sounds like he wants to date but obviously I'm reading it wrong as he hasn't asked me.

Why don't you just say look instead of chatting online why don't we meet for a coffee next week and see what he says.
You will know by his response where you stand. Goodluck.

Calm down, ffs, you’ve only known him a week. And why have you got to wait for him to suggest a date? If you want to go on a date, ask him. It’s not 1950.

Okay I've asked him. Thanks
