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

ok there is this guy i can't stop thinking about. He is a family friend. We were out at a bar friday night with my family and ended up at a mutual friends house after, someone we didn't know asked if i was his wife and i said no, as he was saying yes. people are telling me the truth comes out when people have been drinking. so what is he saying? we went our separate ways and i went to work the next day not expecting to talk to him until i see him somewhere or if we comment on a fb status. he text me out of the blue late that morning asking how work was and we text back and forth for a couple hours, not about anything special. but then didn't talk the rest of the day. Well my cousin text me saying she heard we hooked up friday night. so i asked him where she would of got that and he said "it was probably because my cousins saw us leave the house at the same time assuming we went home together. thats funny" okay, what does he mean by thats funny?? sorry its so long, im just really confused and like him a lot!!

dirtball agony auntThat's something at least. I'd keep it casual, "Hi, how have you been?" Not much else. If the conversation starts to flow, then suggest getting together sometime and see how he reacts.

dirtball agony auntHe didn't know how to respond, because something like that does NOT belong in a text. It's hard to say if you ruined your chances or not, but if he likes you, then you didn't. Things will likely be a bit awkward the next time you see him though.

That's not something you text the first time you tell someone. You TELL them...

dirtball agony auntI was referring to the suggestions I gave for asking him about his feelings for you. One was an indirect method: dropping hints and making a joke about the wife comment. The other was direct: asking him out on a date.

Since you say you're shy, you'll probably be more comfortable with an indirect approach. A couple of things you can do to test him would be breaking the touch barrier. Touch his arm, or leg while he's talking to you. Maintain eye contact and be casual about it. See how he responds. Basically, unless he pulls away, it's a good sign. I'd also suggest making a joke about how it feels like you're being chaperoned because you two always get together with your family. This is a subtle yet direct hint that you'd like some ALONE time with him. ;) He'll pick up on it if he's smart and interested.

Generally, if other people notice an attraction, it's because it's quite obvious. Chances are that they are right, and he's interested in you. Show him you're interested too.

dirtball agony auntYou know how when you want something, you read into every little thing about it instead of doing what you should? You're there.

If you really like him, it seems like he's interested too. Drop him a hint about wanting to get together in a proper manner if he's going to tell people you're his wife. Make it a joke but a hint at the same time. Hopefully he picks up on it. Otherwise, you could always just suggest you two get together and see what happens. Do you prefer direct, or indirect?
