this is a nice situation.

just be friendly. he seems to know how to take initiative when it's appropriate

you really dont have to do anything except for being yourself



and please dont get hung up on whether he's interested or not. just let things play out naturally and if it's supposed to happen, it will happen.

I would never talk to a girl or ask what their dreams and goals were if I wasn't interested. I'd say for for it.

oh lord, if you really like the guy just walk up to the guy and say " hey you wanna go have some dinner after class? either that you just walk up and flash the dude and if he doesn't get that hint screw him and find a guy with half a brain

Is it really that big of a mystery on how a woman/man should approach someone? There is no single precise way to approach someone. Everybody is different so the way you react to being approached or how you approach someone will change from one person to the other.

How about approaching the way you like to be approached?

Yeah today in class I saw him online so I said hi to him, then we chatted for about an hour (Yeah I didn't pay attention to the prof lol) He asked me what I usually do on the weekends, then he asked me if I drink at all.

The conversation was good (and got more personal than the previous ones) - then when I said I need to sign off to leave the classroom, he said "cool, have a good weekend". --well I thought he'd ask me to do something together with him based on the questions he asked me.

I guess I should be more patient - after all I don't know much about him

You two are seemingly interested in each others and that, is the best way to start a relationship.

Don't play games. Don't worry about where this is going. If you want to see him, contact him. If he does, he will too. And hopefully, the more you'll be together, the more it'll build up into something meaningful on its own.

Just let things go naturally and I'm sure you'll eventually share a kiss. It'll be a much better story than pushing him into an 'official' date.

Ambiguity is romantic for men too. Leave this as is and see where it goes.
Makes sense. Thanks

ok, so you established you are nice. But nice only gets you so far. Don't ignore your professor and class time! Don't be so available to him, let him chase you a bit. Men like a bit of a challenge.

A girl with a hobby? Wow! You're about one in a thousand.

I definitely think he's interested in being more than friends with you. Young men do not often ask women they barely know to "get together some time" if their interest is solely platonic. In fact, many lack even the confidence to ask a girl out (which he basically sounds like he did to you) they barely know but are attracted to. Big ups for him having the confidence.

LoL yeah I know, I should pay more attention to class - I'm going to graduate in May and I just don't concentrate in class as much as I used to since I secured a job. But I agree with you.
