Did he ask me on a date or was he just being friendly?

A age 41-50, anonymous writes:

We were standing on his driveway after dropping the rest of our friends off after a movie. We hugged for a long time as he offered to fix my car door because it's jammed shut. I mentioned that you could see stars really well from his yard, he mentioned that the backyard was better and I commented that I had never been in his backyard so I wouldn't know that and he said "well then we'll have to go star gazing on my day off, we'll make a date."

Does this classify as a date or could it just be friendship?

So he remembered :) We went star gazing in his backyard tonight and just talked and had an amazing time, and at the end of the evening he walked me to my door .. which is new for him. Normally he'll just give me a hug outside the car, but he walked me to my door. We had amazing conversations and at one point when he knew i was frustrated with him he put his arm around me and drew circles on my shoulder .. good sign no ? Let me know what you think!

Thank you all so much :) your hope gives me hope and yes I will wait and see. It was me driving that night and I dropped him off last, 1.) because he's cloest to my house so I went farthest friend to cloest and 2.) I wanted to spend some time alone with him, even if it was only 2 minutes. I will let you know what happens! Thank you all!

Well, take it from a guy who just was completely oblivious to a girl giving him hints. The long hug and invitation may have been a hint. Looking from the sidelines where there is not a whole lot of confusion, people are able to see more. Though sometimes people say the word date, it is often thrown around and people may take it the wrong way. In this story, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of evidence to back up him asking you out. What you could do is wait until that night and see the way he acts. If he seems to talk softly and romantically, then he may be interested in you. If he doesn't seem to give you a lot of hints, then he may just like you as a friend. Always pay attention to long hugs. My girlfriend did it before we went out and I didn't even notice. If someone doesn't seem to want to let go of you, they could really like you.

Danielepew agony auntI don't think this is just friendship. Maybe he dropped all the friends at their homes first for no particular reason, or he waited until you were alone with him. Then the hugging and the invitation, and the word "date", all make think there's something in this. However, I would also look at the rest of the relationship.

If you want to be sure, just accept the invitation and see if he comes closer to you.

He probably meant it in a friendly way.

I hate the “It’s a date” phrase soooo confusing lol

But don’t u think looking at the stars together is rather romantic?

Maybe he dose like u u'll just have to wait & see
