Did I make a mistake by making the first move?

A female , *hrinkingViolet writes:

I really like this random guy who I see out all the time. I finally worked up the nerve to actually go and talk to him, he didn’t back away and seemed quite warm towards me, I didn’t get his number or anything, I just broke the ice. The next night in a bar, he passed by me and tapped me on the shoulder and said hello, but that was about it.

I was staring at him all evening, and I know he was staring at me, but he never came over to me again and ended up kissing another girl, which I found out later he said ‘he regretted.’

I saw his friends out on another night, and told them I liked him and they were going to text him, and his best-mate tried to give me his number, but I didn’t take it. I found this all completely embarrassing, because I don’t want to be his stalker!

He’s now been on a few dates with another girl, and when I saw him the other night I looked up and he was staring straight into my eyes, but I was shy and looked away.

So that’s it really, a bunch a meaningless encounters, and I can’t stop thinking about him (I don’t get to sleep until about 4am!). Does he like me??? Or is he just being nice? He blatantly knows I like him, so why won’t he come up to me and talk to me, like I did to him? Shall I just forget it? I thought guys liked girls who make the first move!!!!!!

ShrinkingViolet agony auntThanks for your replies guys!! It’s such a relief to hear someone else’s point of view. I’m really inexperienced when it comes to the art of ‘pulling’, you guys have set me at ease!

I seem to have completely overlooked the fact that he’s never short of girls running after him and could be a complete womaniser!!! I’ll be drunk when I do it, but I think you’re right, I have to talk to him again…..I don’t really have anything to lose….(accept dignity). On the other hand, the ball is so in court, and he if wanted me, he knows I wouldn’t say no!!! Let’s see how it goes….!

You never know what the truth is there. What happens if he gets it on with you and runs around saying 'you' were the mistake. He doesn't seem to have any respect for the girl he's with what makes you think it would be any different for you? He could just be a womanizer for all you know. I suggest you find out what you're really getting yourself into before you get too involved or obsessed with this guy!

Accepting a phone number that's being given to you isn't really 'stalker' behaviour. In fact, it likely means his friends knew he'd be interested in talking with you. Maybe it's time for you to make the 2nd move before he gets very serious with this other girl. Men like that, too.

Chop chop.
