I am recently divorced and getting back into the dating world. I seem to get hit on by a lot of younger men ages 21- 28. Not complaining really but one in particular caught my eye.

I met him at a wrestling show and asked around and messaged him on facebook. We began texing and talking on the phone. I noticed on the phone that he was pretty quiet.

We met at the local mall and hung out for an hour basically getting know each other type of stuff. After the date he called me and asked if I wanted to come to the show the next day and hang out with him after and I said yes but the show ran late and I had kids to take home and put to bed.

He then asked me to hang out again this weekend. Maybe I am a little nervous but somthing feels a little weird. When I text him he doesnt always respond. I only text about once a day and I dont want to bug him. Plus when we are around each other he is really quiet which makes wonder if he is interested.

It sounds like he's interested but might not be all that awesome of a person.

There are people who are quiet, it doesn't mean they aren't interested in you, it means they don't get excited easily. No two people think the same, or behave the same for any given circumstance. I think it would be a mistake to write him off as not interested just because he is quiet. Give him some time, if he isn't interested you'll find out soon enough. Using the phone instead of communicating by text messages is a lot more personal and allows you to find out more about him.

It sounds like he is unsure. Usually if someone is shy, they will lose that once they get to know you. You have gone out on a date, and have texted several times, therefore; he wouldnt be so nervous like shy people are if that were the case. I think he is feeling you out, and just not sure.

He is either shy or otherwise committed and unsure of what to do. No reason to not meet him this weekend, he may loosen up.

If he's asking you to "hang out"....there must be some interest.....maybe after time, if you get to know him a bit more...you'll know why he's such a quiet person...it could be like Dollydo says.

Just b/c he is shy doesn't mean he's not interested....when he trusts you or finds you interesting then he will open up

I think you need to give him time. In the beginning it can be awkward. I wish you well.

Sounds like he's interested me but taking things slow. My best advice is be patient.

Maybe he is sittin `back observing the situation, before he opens up any farther, to you. Take your time...day by day, /have fun, and enjoy yoursej=
