Just a friend...or wanting more?!
Sun, 06-27-2004 - 10:00am
I was in class last semester with a guy, and we found out we were both fans of Dave Matthews Band and i told him i was going to a concert in June. it turns out he's now going to the same concert as me in Toronto.anyway, i got his e-mail (added him to msn) to give him details...blahblahblah...long story short, we've chatted on-line some and anytime i see him out, he always seems to make an effort to come over and talk. a friend told me that most guys are at pubs for the girls...so if he's taking 5 or 10 minutes out of his night to come and talk, be it music or whatever, he's definitely interested (?)

i never thought any more of it than friendly...he's a sweet guy, but super attractive, so I pushed it out of my mind that he'd even be a little attracted to me :( anyhoo, the last few days i've been talking to him, he's seemed different...more talkative, attentive, or what have you...last week i saw him at a local pub, he came over and we chatted for awhile. then this girl came up to him and starting pulling him away...so he left. It didn't bother me really. yesterday when i was talking to him on msn, he went on about how sorry he was that he left, she's a friend of a friend that was super drunk. he said he had really wanted to stay and talk to me. i also mentioned to him that i had a dvd of DMB that i thought he may like to see. he was thrilled about that, so he asked me if I'd mind dropping it off to him if it wasn't out of my way. I went to his place, and stayed for awhile, just chatting about Dave, etc. he invited me in to show me a countdown that him and his buddy have before the concert:) he was very interested in my trip: when i'm going up, where i'm staying, what i'm doing up there, what section i'm in at the concert, etc. he said "definitely, we'll have to hook up when we're there"...hmmm...

what i'm getting at is, is this guy just being nice, or is he "testing the waters" (for lack of a better expression!)or am reading waaaaaaay too much into it? i've always been bad at figuring out guys!!!

apologize if this is all over the place...my thoughts tend to be like that sometimes!
