A guy and I had a casual relationship for over a year...2 years ago. We see each other about once a week and email during the week.
He claims he has no interest in dating me, but at the same time hasn't been able to find a date since we were together....2 years ago.
When I do see him from time to time, he is nervous around me, shaky, sweaty hands and little to no eye contact. Plus he avoids me.
I think that he knows...that I like him and want more from him than casual.
Does this mean he likes me....or is it that he is uncomfortable being around me?
He told me 2 years ago that he had no interest. And I told him a year ago that we would never have a casual relationship again.
@Beagle,
Could be or could not be.
If you are interested why don't you say something? Maybe he changed his mind...
Ask him to lunch, which is usually considered to be essentially nonthreatening and noncommital, as opposed to dinner, which is more like a date. And ask, say something like, "This is nice, Bill (or whatever his name is). Do you think there can be anything more? Because I would like that."
And see what he says. He may be afraid of hurting you but still interested in staying friends, so he gets nervous but it's due to that, rather than desire. Or maybe he really does like you. You won't know until you press the issue.
If he does not like you, though, are you prepared for the consequences? Because it's highly likely that the consequence there would be for even the casual relationship to come to a screeching halt.
Stumble It!
