A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've fallen for the most irritating person! Ok, lets say he seems perfect - tall, good looking, generous, sweet, kind, friendly and we can talk for hours BUT he never can keep an appointment.

For example he invited me round to his, but I couldnt go so I asked him back to mine and he said he would have to ask his parents. That night he still hadnt asked, so he said he would ask in the morning, and I told him to text me. By 1 I had no text, and I went online he said he wasnt sure because he hadnt asked. I havnt heard from him since I dont know whether to get ready or tidy up or anything! And I dont want to keep asking him because it will sound like im nagging. And to fill you in, he fancies me and I have recently fallen for him too.

Oh yes, any ideas how to hint about going out? He's a bit slow on the uptake bless him. Thanks x

Thanks, we have met up before and he got me some expensive perfume for xmas. Hes not shy, pretty cocky tbh but very nice to me. I wouldnt say he wanted sex at all. And our familys are friends. He came on msn and said 'I cant believe I wasnt allowed over to yours!' and I was like 'Oh wernt you??' Maybe its because we are revising for mocks atm, although I know hes not doing much. Any he lives 10 mins away in a car... Oh well I cant be bothered with this. Thanks for answers!

OSCARS MUMMY agony auntbless him? i feel like shaking him!!! i would clean up anyway get it all done and looking perfect just incase atleast it will keep you busy - for a while.

If he really did like you i think you would have met up by now - i cant really understand what his problem is, maybe hes shy, maybe hes scared of asking his parents, maybe he thinks your parents will give him the third degree?? Dont hint i dont think you will get anywhere hinting to this one wont work. Just ring or text and maybe suggest going for a pizza or to the cinema why not say for the following weekend and see what happens - if you dont hear from him or he cant give you a genuine reason not to go then forget about him. I personally think if he did really like you that you would have met up by now, i wouldnt waste my time much longer to be honest.. or maybe he just wanted to get you alone at his so he could try to have sex with you??? just a thought and if that was the case hes not worth it!!

if hes slow only you can point him in the right direction. you say he likes you so just reassure him of your own feelings, also you say you can chat for hours if you have that bond then dont worry about going into that deep convo as he obv wants it by what youve said. maybe hes backing off because he doesnt think you feel the same or he doesnt know where he stands. guys hate to be conused and will often leave things before they sort them and its then up to you to decide what to do next. hes obviously giving you an indication that he likes you so now its your turn. you have to work at it together to get there. do it before it gets too late. hope it all works out xxx

Since he fancies you, maybe he is just shy about asking his parents about going to your place, or if he hasn't met your family, that could be the thing as well.

Have you said that you like him as more than just friends?

Don't worry if it takes a long time for him to ask you out, if he really likes you he's probably just nervous about you saying no.
