Nervous about texting

[comfycos]

So help needed!
I messaged my son's friend dad , no reply!
He asked his son if it was ok if we went for a coffee ( usual teenage reply), "no problem".
I've not heard from.him what do I do? I really like him and my message was very casual , his son has told my son there's no girlfriend and that his dad had asked about me . Help shall i try again

What did you write? We need more context

Chill - if he has broached it with teenage son then he is obviously intending to do it!
What did you send?

What kind of time frame are we talking here?

Bide your time

It was very casual just that if he ever fancied a coffee and a hello to drop me a text, however that was two months ago!!!!!
I usually see him at football, but the weather has been so awful it's not been on since I sent that text. I'm just confused why would he ask his son if he didn't want to meet up

I've made this mistake often. You have to actually arrange a date and a time or no one bothers!

Maybe I should just take the risk and invite him out for a drink, suppose I just don't want to be rejected ( if I don't ask and all that)

Take the leap! Ask him out on a specific day. He's obviously interested if he asked his son. 😁

You've asked once. Don't ask him again. Just behave as normal when you see him again, but don't ask him out again.

Thanks all, I am going to leave it just let him see what he's missing

Or, you can just say - how about that coffee we talked about, now that it’s nice and sunny?
This - Mo/Tue..../Sun...

He may be sitting there and wondering if he would scare you off. And you didn’t follow up, so maybe you are not interested, blah, blah...

How exactly are you planning to show him what he is missing - a see through onesie at the teenage football match? Batting eyelashes?

Come on! You aren’t a teenager. And it’s not 18th century.

That made me laugh out loud!
Great idea about meeting up I'd never thought he might be feeling like that ok I'll message him today.

has he told you he asked his son about coffee or shown any interest other than his son saying something (are you sure your sons aren't making it up?)

You said let me know if you fancy coffee and he didn't let you know..........do you really want to ask again?

If he hasn't replied to the text at all even to say that would be nice sometime, then I'd leave it and see what happens at the next footie match.

Currently laying in bed next to my sons friends dad who I've been with for the last four years.

Text again!!

I wouldn't bother. You asked him once and he didn't respond.
If a man is interested he usually let's you know, especially after being given the green light.

Did he definitely receive the text message? Seems a bit odd not to reply at all. If it was actually the wrong number he might just have heard the idea through his son. And not know your number.

I know it is odd he didn't reply, I'll double check the number and try again..

I am male. It could be he actually is seeing someone. It could be he doesn't know what to text. It could also be, he is not interested. The problem you have is, it seems you heard from your son that his friend told him his dad asked about you. That could mean anything. You would need to know what exactly he asked and how he asked about you.

I would say, double check and confirm he phone #. And call him. Texting is one thing. Calling and speaking to the person and hearing their tone of voice is something completely different. Make something stupid up to call. Ask about a football date or pretend you are confused about some information about football, then if the cov is going well, talk about the coffee e.t.c.. Just an idea.

So I did it! Called him up we went out last night, and again tomorrow for coffee and a dog walk! Thanks adorable all your help- he didn't reply because he thought it was the kids match making 😁

Oh fantastic!

Great news! Well done for being so confident

Comfycos! Yay!

And the see-through onsie can stay in the closet.
