What is going on with this guy?
Please be gentle.
Me and a guy seem to get on well. Once we have said and done the necessary things that need to be done, we end up chatting for a while, at least an hour. We text each other here and there about random stuff but he isn't always the quickest to reply.
He seemed disappointed when I said I would move closer to home if the opportunity arose.
He knew I was angry a couple of months ago with someone, despite me saying I was ok, he saw right through me and sat with me and calmed me down. (Despite me putting a guard up making out I was ok) Recently something strange happened... I got a text from him a few weeks ago apologising for seeming awkward towards me before I left our conversation and he thought I felt uncomfortable, because as I looked up he was just staring at me. I honestly didn't pick up that he was staring.
Anyway I text him back and we became quite flirty, lasting right into the early hours. I did ask him where this came from and within the conversation he said that we do get on, just didn't realise. When we next saw each other it was clear he wanted to talk to me in private but it seemed that other people who were around at the time kept following him like a lost puppy dog. Eventually he just waited around near me until these people decided to leave. We spoke and he said 'see where this goes' A couple of weekends ago he seemed odd with me when I text him and I didn't think I would hear from him again until I see him next week ( I'm away) How wrong I was, he asked if I was still in the UK at the start of last week, if I am excited and Friday we were texting back and forth for hours, ( even though I was a tad piddled) and I almost told him how I felt but instead said I was worried I would scare him off, drink was talking wait until I am sober. He even said he'd speak soon after saying night. He wanted to know who I had gone away with. I asked him if he fancied going for coffee at some point and he said he wasn't sure when but possibly and would let me know when he is free.
I feel like I am getting mixed messages, I don't want to do the chasing but feel like I am subtly hinting I like him to give him the nudge.
There is nothing stopping either of us from getting it on.
