Hi everyone,

I'm sure you remember my post from last month asking if a specific guy was interested in me. Well, tomorrow I might be meeting with him. I'm debating it. Last Friday was my birthday and tomorrow is his birthday. I'm in town to get film developed and I texted him, "If I remember correctly, tomorrow is your birthday. I'm in town, wanna do lunch?" He agreed. I'm not sure... he ignored me for a month and since he ignored me, I didn't even ask if he wanted to do anything for my birthday because I didn't want to feel like a pain. I'm not sure how I feel... is it bad he ignored me? If I do get a chance (I'm hoping the developing of the film will only take an hour), should I meet with him? I'm moving away in the near future... but unsure.

Sounds like merely a potential lunch date at this point. Why take it too seriously or build up expectations? If he wants to go, just relax, go, and enjoy a couple hours of company.

He agreed to do lunch. Do lunch, maybe some of your questions will answer themselves. Enjoy the moment and the build up to it, but don't worry about the outcome.

That's true... at most it's a goodbye before I move. I had a phone interview yesterday about a job in Michigan... fingers crossed. I haven't seen him since December when he took me to a shooting range to learn how to protect myself before I moved to Michigan (yes, I've been applying for 7 months) and then we had dinner. I suppose it could be a nice end to a stressful week... especially after work (I get done my job at noon tomorrow).

It was a small pistol. He's in the military... I doubt it would be his service pistol... but it was small. I have really small hands, so it worked well. Then after that we went to dinner at a Chinese place.

No, it wouldn't have been his service pistol. Not only would he not be allowed to take it from the armory for personal use, but the M9 (service pistol) has a rather fat handle. The first time I ever took my wife shooting I encouraged her to try the M9 because it is an easy gun to shoot and maintain. She liked the manageable recoil but the grip was a little too big for her.

Yes.

BTW, it's not wise to publish your birthdate on the internet.

Yeah. I should ask him tomorrow and say, "I really liked your gun. When I move and get settled in the job, I want to invest in one." The only guns I know are shot guns, machine guns and AK-47s. Haha.

Careful, you risk knocking your own thread off topic. I am a gun enthusiast and also in the military and will end up talking more about that than the question you asked.

RE: AK-47s...I know they are very popular arms to own, even in the private collections of U.S. military members. I personally refuse to buy a weapon that has been used against me. About a year ago I was packing up my stuff at my gun club and another member arrived with an AK-47 equipped with a slide fire. (Essentially a legal modification that allows a semi-auto to fire like a fully auto.) I was just about to leave when he fired off some rounds from this weapon. It made me jump. I laughed and said, "Geez, that sound brings back some memories, and they aren't good ones!"

Definitely ask about the gun. If you are interested in this guy and he discovers there is a common interest, that may help things along. Conversely I once broke up with a girl because she freaked out when she learned I owned a gun. Or two. Or more...
