Is he in to me?

[namechangeagain12345]

I met a guy about 9 years ago, we're close friends for about 3. I really fancied him, still do and I'm pretty sure he fancied me too.

I was in a relationship during most of our close friendship hence nothing happened. I then moved Away and have been in a relationship for the last 6 years.

My relationship is currently going through the break up motions and guy from way back when recently got back in touch with me - it's weird weird timing. Like too perfect... I made him aware I was considering moving back to the town we met (where he lives) but just considering.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure he knows I've split up with my partner but my social media recently has been lacking him. We've been chatting pretty much every day for the last few days and he said he was visiting a friend my way in a couple of weeks and to let me know if I wanted to meet for the day (social distancing of course). He hasn't at all asked me about my partner/ex partner.

Is he being friendly or what? I really can't gage it? Sometimes I feel like he's being flirty, I have this gut instinct. Or is he just being friendly? I'm so out of sync with all this, I've not chatted to another guy in YEARS!

Similar situation so am hoping that by giving you my words of wisdom () I may actually follow them myself.
I think you just need to be patient and see what happens, definitely meet up as how we come across online can be very different in real life and you may find there's no spark there to lead to anything else.
Unfortunately I'm in a completely different country to mine so meeting....even at an acceptable social distance isn't possible for several months yet.
Would love to know how it works out for you but in the meantime enjoy the chat, the flirting etc

@katscamel I hope it works out for you too!!

We've known each other for years but not seen each other in 5 years. I always felt an attraction and chemistry between us all those years ago but now as you say, it's hard to tell via message!
