I didn’t stop to say hi because our meeting was so brief and so long ago I didn’t think he’d remember me. A friend of mine used to work with him and after I told her about this she said I should email him as she has his email address. I’d never done something like that but there was something about this guy. So I emailed him, told him we met ages ago, asked what he’s been doing since then, and then I also told him that I hope he doesn’t mind me being too forward and told him I think he’s gorgeous (hey, you only live once). So he emailed me back the next day, said yes it was forward, and then asked me questions and so on. We then started to exchange emails (both of us would take about 3 days to reply to each other). He then started to ask about my weekend plans and at one point said to me he has no idea what to do on the coming weekend, and ended his email by saying “hmmm…what to do…?” I felt brave and so I joked with him and said he should take me out (I gave him my cell no. and told him to call me if he’s up for it). Sadly he ignored this email. I then figured he wasn’t interested and decided to let it go without emailing him again.Exactly three weeks after my ‘invite’ he emails me, apologizes for taking so long to reply (it was xmas, nye, etc), and then ends the email by saying ‘forward again wasn’t it…’At this point I get confused. What does he want now? If he wanted to go out he would have said so, if he wasn’t interested why come back after all this time and mention the asking out? So I bite the bullet and reply to him after 5 days and say that yes it was forward but he seems like an interesting guy and all I meant was that we should hang out…I ended my message like that to see if he’ll offer to meet up. I’ve done my part and I don’t want to ask again. It’s been two weeks since this message and he’s gone silent on me again.I suppose I need to let this one go but what is he thinking? Why did he come back and mention the asking out if he wasn’t interested?Is it the fact that he doesn’t know me and he’s apprehensive about going out with almost a stranger? (he’s got my Facebook so he does know what I look like)I don’t know if this helps but he’s been single for a while, he’s always been polite in his emails and he always responds to all my comments and questions. We’re both in our mid 20s.
