Need advice on new guy
| Wed, 10-20-2004 - 9:17pm |
I moved to a new state six months ago and two weeks ago was on my way to a meeting at work. There was a car parked next to mine and the passenger door was open. An attractive man was getting something out of the car and looked up and said to me, "Hi, I'm ______ and just moved in." I introduced myself and told him that I had just moved in not long ago. He said which apartment he was in and I told him where I was and that I faced downtown. He then said he did also, so that means he lives upstairs and across the hall from me. _____ asked how I like living here and we chatted briefly about that. I had to get to the meeting and he said it was nice meeting me. The other day I was leaving my apartment to run to the car for something and he was coming down the stairs and said, "Hi, Carly." I said hello to him and he said with a laugh, "did you hear me making all that noise as I moved in my washing machine earlier?" I laughed and said, "Oh, that was you." He said, "Have you heard a guy complain so much lately?" more laughter from both of us. I asked him where he moved from and he said across town. He said, "see you later" as he got into his car.
I'd like to go on a date with him but am very shy at asking guys out. Plus, I haven't seen him since the other day. How, without looking like a stalker, can I "bump" into him again? Too bad he's not new to town like I am. Anyway, how can I see him sooner. I'm not even sure he'd agree to do something but you never know....
Thanks all!

Hi Carolina,
In my opinion, I don't think you have to try to bump into him again or ask him out because I really think he likes you and will do it himself. I would hold off and see if he does that asking first... it's always best to let them make the first move otherwise you will never know if he does agree to go out with you only because he is a nice guy and didn't want to say no or because he really wanted to. Another reason to wait is if he does reject you (I don't think he would but...) then you may feel uncomfortable bumping into him after that. Sit tight I think things will work out. Good luck to you.
