Is he interested?

Brief background. Met a guy through friends a few months ago. After a drunken evening we almost ( he’d had too much to drink) slept together. He apologised the next day then didn’t hear much from him. A few weeks ago he wanted to meet up as I’d not been outt with friends group recently. Went ok, seen him
a couple of times since but he only communicates between meet ups when necessary, no “how was your day” type thing. Not sure what to make of him..

No. You'd be in no doubt if he was interested.

Pondeering · 01/05/2025 12:42

@Charlottejbt yes think you’re right! Think I’ll just leave this one.

Anyone else got any thoughts?

If he wanted more you’d know

There might be a couple of days of 'embarrassment silence' but after that he would let you know if he is interested.

But having said that, I would be relieved to not be getting the endless "morning beautiful " or "how's your day going" crap that seems to be the norm in dating 😆

@Happycow ah yes, those messages! Nothing like that all - not even a response to my message saying I had a good evening. I think I know the answer!! He did seem quite full of himself but I guess that might be a “front”. I don’t really know him well at all.

If you have to ask then he is not. Guys who are interested in pursuing a relationship with you will make it very clear.

TwistedWonder · 02/05/2025 18:44

He’s not interested. If he was he’d be pursuing you for actual dates and meeting up.

Because you’ve had sex he might be keeping you on the back burner in case he fancies sex again but there’s nothing more than that

Idontjetwashthefucker · 02/05/2025 18:46

You said yesterday you were going to leave it, what's changed?

He's not interested, he'd have replied if he was

itsnotalwaysthateasy · 02/05/2025 21:25

If he was interested, he would ask more questions to find out about you. He doesn't
Throw him back.

outerspacepotato · 02/05/2025 21:35

If he was really interested in you, you would be hearing from him and he would be asking you out and getting to know you.

Gymbunny2025 · 02/05/2025 21:40

I thought he was ghosting you? Seems pretty cut and dry (sadly)

StarlightLady · 03/05/2025 07:58

He might be worried about being overly keen or pushy. Particularly because of the “almost” situation. “So many potential happy times don’t evolve from peeps beating around the bush.

You have nothing to lose by asking him direct questions and getting direct answers! You go girl! ⚡️

ItsOoooon · 03/05/2025 08:21

Sounds like you’re convenient when there’s nobody else on the scene. If he was interested he’d make it clear. Men like to pursue women. If he isn’t, then he isn’t into you.

Nothing apart from your dignity and self respect!

OP, if he was interested he would have been texting you. Someone who ignores your text is not shy or awkward - they're just not interested!

MuffinsAreJustCakesAtBreakfast · 03/05/2025 08:31

If you ever wonder the answer to this question then the answer is No.

The vast majority (and I mean Majority) of men have no problem asking for what they want.

If he's not asking he's not interested.

Sorry.

MayaPinion · 03/05/2025 08:48

Men really aren’t that complicated. If he wanted to date you he’d ask you on a date. It sounds like you are firmly in the friend zone.

category12 · 03/05/2025 08:52

He's had opportunity to ask for a rematch, don't think he is into you, sorry.
