Hi everyone,

I hope you could help me and advise me on what to do in this situation. Sorry this is really long so thank you for reading.

There is this guy who use to work near me and I had left the job without his knowledge and we didn't get to exchange numbers but we got back in contact recently.

It was obvious we were both attracted to each other.

We were texting and even asked me out when i was free. we decided that i would come by to see him and my old workplace first.

I must admit, i did dress a little too proactively to get his attention since he hasn't seen me in my own clothes before so i soon as i walked in i could see that his heart started racing and couldn't say a simple hello. He started rambling, doing crazy hand gestures and seemed REALLY nervous but then as soon as i had my back turned he came really close and started talking about a customer. Was that an excuse to get close to me?

We didn't have much to say as his nervousness got me nervous too so i wished him a good day and left. He texted me 5mins after and apologised if he was acting a little off. - is that a good sign hes interested? Was he intimidated by me?

This time though, he didn't leave his 2 kisses after his sentences and i left really short messages so he stopped texting and he knows i wont be reachable for a week. Does he think I'm not interested because i am! or is he playing hard to get?

Should I play hard to get and wait for his texts?

Please let me know how you think he feels towards me, men and women and what i should do and also is that how men react when they really like someone or was it the way i was dressed.

Come on, aren't you over-thinking things a bit?

He has already asked you out. It was awkward for you to come by his work; when you should have conducted your meeting on your own personal-time. At work, everybody's watching and being nosy.

He apologized for his awkwardness and fumbling; so leave it at that. Don't be childish about the "two kisses" after a sentence. You're not in high school anymore. You're a woman now.

I don't see any signs or reasons to play "hard to get." Do you know what that even means?

Please don't conduct your romance by text messaging. That is so lame, adolescent, and impersonal. I wish people would put a little romance back into making love-connections; and call, or see each other in-person as often as possible.

You'll be gone for a week? Where to, the moon?

Can't you "call" him, or can he "call" you while you're away? How about "calling" him; and letting him know that's okay? You can get all this on track by just calming down and calling the guy; and getting a few details worked-out. Problem solved!

Good luck!
