He has suggested drinks on a roof top bar place - is this a date?!

Attended a hobby related meet-up group for the first time on Monday.
As i was leaving one man who I has been chatting to asked if id like to exchange numbers to continue our discussion on our hobby.

Yesterday he messaged asking if id like to meet next week. I was expecting a coffee invite however he said he would think of ‘something interesting’ and has suggested cocktails at a rooftop bar!

He was very attentive and gave me a hug as I was leaving and didn't ask the lady we were talking to for her number which i thought was a bit odd/maybe a bit rude, but honestly I have no clue about how modern life works. Is this a date??

Am 42, been single for 3.5 years and seriously ill for 3 of them. Only been able to excersize again in the last few months and have lost some weight and finally feeling a little of my old self again so I forced myself to attend this meet up even though I was terrified.

You're going to have to face the fear and ask him!

I'd go with something like "I just need to ask because I'm a bit rusty on things like this, but is this you asking me on a date? #awkward 😳 "

Omg, do not ask him. It is 100% a date.

HanarCantWearSweaters · 05/09/2023 02:32

Bit late to ask him now innit.

Your update made me teary. How lovely.

That's amazing. I wasn't going to click on the thread when it moved up my TIO list as I assumed it was going to be someone posting not realising it was an older thread.

So great to get the update! Delighted for you OP ❤️

Yeah, no, don't do this. Just go if you want to.

The OP has now been in a relationship with the guy for six months!

ButterflyOil · 05/09/2023 08:15

That’s a great update! Thanks for coming back and sharing how it’s been going. Hope it continues to go well 🥰🥰

Ollifer · 05/09/2023 08:32

Attraction grows the more familiar a person is so it's totally fine to not feel fireworks the first date. My partner now I probably wouldn't look at twice on a dating app (awful as that sounds) however when I look at him now I am so in love with him! I'm glad things are working okay, I'd just bear in mind to still take things one step at a time if he's already met your daughter, there's plenty of time for all that down the line.

CapEBarra · 05/09/2023 08:33

Oh I LOVE updates like this! Thank you, OP, and I’m thrilled it’s going so well. Sounds like you deserve a bit of good fortune 🎉😊
