This might be a moot point since I'm moving, but a friend and I were discussing it the other night. Even though I'm moving and will never pursue anything, I want to use this for the future when I am settled and such. My friend is a girl, so I would like a guy's perspective (of course, women, you can chime in too).

I met this guy in February 2013 at school. We were both non-traditional students - I took extra time (I was 23.5... I graduated in December 2013 at almost 24.5) and he is in the military (he is 3 years older than me). I had a small crush on him. We went out a few times and each time he paid for me, even when I offered he told me he had it. He took me to meet his friends and it went well for the most part. He said his friends liked me. When he took me home, he said he would love for me to meet his folks because he thought his dad would like me.I remember taking a photography class that semester and he volunteered to be in projects for me. I remember one day it was about 15 degrees outside (I love cold weather, I sweat in that weather) he was a good sport and took pictures outside with no complaint. My other friend on the other hand complained. Sadly, I had some health issues and we stopped talking for 9 months.

We started talking again after something really bad happened to me. He wanted me to learn self defense, so he took me to a shooting range. He let me use his hand gun, (paid for this), and was actually really patient with me... then we went to dinner. My friend thinks, "Well, he must think you're special if he did all that, especially taking you to self defense classes and letting you use his hand gun! Besides, I never thought he was a bad guy and treated you well." Sooo, what do you think? Again, I'm moving and since he's in a military, not pursuing anything... but is this something I should look for in the future with someone else?

Jess, I'm not really sure what you're asking.

Did he seem interested at one point? (Sorry... I'm multitasking.)

I think you are over analyzing every tiny detail, he let you use his hand gun, paid for dates, posed for photos in the cold, yay him. He sounds like a nice guy.

You do not know what the future brings and you really should just go with the flow of life.
Other guys may be similiar but not exactly the same as this guy so I guess if you want to look for similar qualities then do so just don't forget they are only similar and not the same, the men and the qualities.

Gosh, I don't know did he? You were there with him, did he seem interested at one point to you?

True. Well, I'm currently not looking as I'm in the process of moving out of state and have some other things that I need to take care of before I start looking in the new area. Sometimes old pictures bring up thoughts and memories. I get sentimental most of the time.

You know, I'm not sure... I was really nervous. The first few times I was having health issues and wasn't thinking about it... then in December, it was after something really bad happened to me and wasn't thinking about it then either.

My husband always says that a man would not go to THAT much trouble unless he was interested in you somehow, but it is odd that he let 9 months go by without contact.
