So there is a man I’ve been flirting with via text we’ve already met and have slept together. I went to see him as he lives quite a way from me.
Anyway, we were flirting via text last night and he was saying how he’d love to come and visit me. 2 texts to this effect
The third message read to which train station lol I need to book a train lol.
Now I don’t know if he’s being serious or not and I don’t want to come out and ask him straight out!

What’s not to understand? He’s said twice he wants to visit and is asking which station to get the train to!

Mariam42 · 01/08/2023 09:52

It’s the lol at the end ! Does that mean he’s joking ?

Shy? Lots of love?

He's trying to make it sound lighthearted.

You've been to his already. He's asked you twice if he can come to yours and which station to get the train to. He's not joking.

Asuch as anything, He's engaging in flirty messages with you and is hoping to have more sex with you. Men don't joke about that!

I don't understand the question. He's asking which train station to book a train to. What's the issue?

You've already had sex with him but you're not sure if you should tell him your nearest train station in case he's only joking about wanting to come to yours for more sex?

Mariam42 · 01/08/2023 11:07

Yes I like him and not sure if the lol means he’s joking

I'd read it as he's added the "lol" to keep it light hearted. Probably doesn't want to come on too strong or too eager. It'd be a weird thing to joke about.

Just tell him the name of your station. If he hits back with "erm.. I was joking", then ditch him 'cos he's a weirdo. But that won't be his response.

“Now I don’t know if he’s being serious or not and I don’t want to come out and ask him straight out!”

@Mariam42 - just think about what you’re saying here. You’ve had sex with this guy and you’re flirting with him by text. You should be able to ask whether he means it about visiting you. If you can have sex with someone, you should be able to talk to them!

GreyCarpet · 01/08/2023 14:34

Fwiw, he's not joking. What's the joke? If he weren't interested in more sex with you, he wouldn't be flirting with you and asking.

Why would you automatically jump to 'he's joking' when there is absolutely nothing to suggest that he is?

Mariam42 · 01/08/2023 18:01

It was his use of lol

OP posts:

Seriously, it wasn't a joke. He was just being lighthearted.

It was more of a, "Get me, I'm keen aren't I?!! 🤣🙈" and not at all a "Ha, like I'd ever get naked with you again! 🤣"

Bottom line - you're going to have to either rake a leap of faith and risk a infinitesimally small chance of him being a grade A prick or it's going to fizzle into nothing.

If he's already brought it up 3 times, how any more times do you think he will before he decides you're not interested and gives up?

He means it, but he’s being light hearted as others have said incase you don’t want it. Make it clear you’d like that. Tell him your local station
