sorta.... he mentioned that it was one of his favorite shows too. And it is my favorite show. So right before it started i sent him a text counting down to Heroes... And we text back and forth during comercial breaks about the show and how great it was!... almost like watching it together.


I was at work and tried to catch as much as i could... he texted that he has tivo and said "you can watch it whenever you like".... i didn't know if he meant "you" as in inviting me over or "you" meaning "any person" generically...


favorite show... that's one more thing we have in common.

I have to agree. LoonyB, time to drop the drama and the angst and just ask the guy out.

I dunno Mike, I think instead of asking MM out, she tell him she's interested in him THAT way... because the ball HAS to be in MM's court for pursuing- but giving him a very clear signal that she's interested will help if he's unsure of her interest.

Worst case, he says he's not interested and they move on. At least then she's stop over analyzing every word from the guy.

He has asked you out...its just that it is a bit less direct than you are used to. But Loony- he is interested, and we are all here telling you that we can read the signs!


I very much doubt that he would have asked you to the river, spend time emailing and texting , giving you his number, and saying you can watch Heroes together, and all the flirting, if he was not interested. Girl........take him up on something!


From what I see he has put the ball in your court and he's waiting for you to respond to his cues! Call the man! If you are interested, be honest and just call and say ya I'd like to take you up on that river idea. Or lets watch Heroes, or lets get a drink out.


I think you are not used to this kind of subtlty? And be honest, if you need a man who is more direct off the bad it might not be him. But IMO... he seems worthy of a shot!

My concern is when you second guess or analyze things you are cutting out all first reactions which are generally the easiest ones to read by prospective partners since they come out as genuine. It may leave him with a big old question mark. Also, If everything is overthought and planned out because there is tip toeing and guessing going on, it comes across as forced and maybe not sincere. For me, that is why some of my most endearing moments with guys have been when I am totally spontaneous and just been myself. I think MM just might need the true Loony to show up and show him how great and interested she is.

ow, my butt hurts from all the @$$ kicking... but i suppose i needed it.


i don't know why i'm such a clueless idiot with the guy... ??? He sent me another text ... for real asking me out this time. .. To the state fair!


For some reason i'm still feeling like he sent the text to EVERYONE in his phone... but since i got my butt kicked today, i told myself... no loony, he's asking YOU!! LOL.


So, after much sweat and shakey nerves... i sent a text back saying, sounds fun. how about calling me.


i've already made plans to take the kids to the fair in two weeks. But i think a state fair at night would be loads of fun!!! Especially with the weather being so beautiful these days.. cool, breezy but not too cold ya know.


He texted back that he will call me... i'm feeling like this is the moment of truth... crossing the friend zone??


please send positive thoughts. thanks,

Thank God!!! I was ready to intervene with you both (kidding on that but you get that I wanted to knock your heads together) I think there is some insecurity on your part with this guy because he is not a totally too young inappropriate guy. It is easy to be bold and carefree with the young hotties because you know in the back of your mind it won't go anywhere so therefore you never have to truly invest yourself emotionally and be completely vulnerable.

He likes you Loony and has been slowly progressing by putting out feelers, but for the record he has been trying to ask you out all along but being too careful. I actually like that he is a little hesitant and not too confident. He is not a too smooth player working you. He is human with his own vulnerability.

I am planning to take Brendan to the fair this year. I think he will love the animals and exhibits. It is funny, I was never a big fair person but it was a ritual and as I get older I get nostalgic and want to share with my son.
