Hi all. I’ve been on here for a long time but never really had anything worthwhile to post except now and I could use some advice.

I’m 28 and single but want to settle down. I had a dry spell in the dating world until about a couple of months ago when I met three guys (great! – or so I thought) at about the same time. They all asked me out and I said yes.

Guy 1 is a real gentleman and we have great chemistry. We’ve gone out a lot and I really like him a lot. I can definitely see us “long term.”

Guy 2 is more kinda like a jock. He’s pretty gregarious and knows what he wants. We “did it” soon after we met. When we get together it’s fireworks but only in one way…

Guy 3 was also extraverted but I regretted “being with” him and he never called backwhich was a good thing.

Well, last Wednesday I was out with Guy 2 at a lounge restaurant place. We were kind of tipsy and laughing when in walks Guy 1 with a bunch of his buddies. He saw me and I think his face looked surprised. He gave me a tight smile and nodded but didn’t come over. At that point I realized that I really would have preferred being there with Guy 1 and not Guy2.

I kept looking in his direction but he never looked my way. At some point I think he went to the bathroom but I didn’t see him come back.

OnThursday I got a text from Guy 1 that he had to cancel our date for Friday cause he said (but I don’t believe him) he had to work late. I said OK, how bout Saturday? He said he couldn’t do dinner but we could grab a coffee. I’m supposed to see him in a bit so I’m wondering what he’s going to ask and how I should handle things delicately, assuming he brings up last Wednesday at all.

I agree... I think the OP may have been friend zoned......

Another funny example of guy 1 being a "gentlemen" and guy 2 the gregarious guy, getting the booty before the gentlemen...

I shouldn't say this, will give the whiners here too much ammo....

Since you were pushy about seeing him, he just wants to see what you're going to say, but I think you're just going to make a fool of yourself in his eyes. You shouldn't even go.

I hope I'm NOT screwed becasue I really do want a future with him. He may not even bring it up andmaybe I'm just making a big deal out of nothing. Also, it's not like we said we were exclusive to each other even though I want it to be that way now

You should have explained yourself to him but honestly....I'm glad he ignored you.

If you think he's not going to bring it up, what are you asking here for?

Just tell him that the guy he saw you with was just a f-buddy, nothing more. I'm sure he'll understand.

Oh, so in three days you went from getting drunk with Mr. Jock to wanting to be exclusive with Mr. Good Guy, eh? Did you sleep with Mr. Jock on Wednesday, too?
