I met a man at church and he will wink at me and we always look into each other eyes. last sunday i went up to him while he was sitting down and said good morning to him. he had a big smile on his face and he pulled my head down next to his. after that the same sunday he came up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders and squeezed my shoulder a little then said how was i doing. this sunday i went over and said good morning he winked and said good morning back . he never made an attempt to do anything else. he has been a widower for 10 years now and he brings his ex mother in law to church, he lives in gainesville ga and i live about an hour away. we do not have too much time to talk to each other. i feel that today was different and i would like to know if i need to move on or hang in there and wait. i do not want to be hurt or played games with. please help i do not know what to do i am confused about this.

Denise32 agony auntI still say when you see him next Sunday, why don't you just tell him you'd like to get together for lunch one day and see what he says? If he IS in fact dating someone he may well tell you so then.......but perhaps he's not.

Anyway, is there anything to prevent you sitting with him and his ex-mother-in-law during the service? You could always ask if they mind if you join them. You might offer to get her a cup of coffee at coffee hour afterwards. That would be a nice gesture.

No watered down advice here! agony auntNow, It sounds like to me you're trying to find EVERY TYPE of excuse to not follow my advice so far I've counted 6 or more!..You want hear some? Here they go..1st you said, Maybe it his Mother-in -law? You even had me on that guilt trip with you for a minute but, I pulled out of it real quit! After I thought about it.The Ex-Mother-In-law, Can't do for him what you can! Now We're on number 2nd, might be playing games? He live in another town..." 3rd...You live too far.." You keep coming up with more and more EXCUSES! as to why you shouldn't go forward with my advice! Apparently!!! Deep in your heart you know he's available or you wouldn't keep coming back. I can tell a million different ways to go for it!!! But...I can't give you the COURAGE! That you have you muster up for yourself!

No watered down advice here! agony auntJmtmj, Is right on the money with his advice! I bet this guy has been out of the dating game a long time. However, contrary what you most people seem to believe! Old dogs can be taught new tricks! IJS!

Jmtmj agony auntYou may think you've done enough to show him you're interested simply by going up to him, but he may need more than that to convince him that you're keen... Don't forget- this guy has clearly been out of the dating game for a LONG time! Skills in attraction and dating aren't like riding a bicycle, but like a bike- they can get rusty. I agree that being a mature man he's probably more likely to actually want to do the asking.

Good-luck :)

No watered down advice here! agony auntI don’t wanna forget the present is a gift..

And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me.. because Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed #ALICIAKEYES, I know how how it is to lose somebody you love deeply, as, you mentioned he lost his wife. He's still in mourning, I would guess, but that's not to say if I was you I wouldn't "pull his head down next to mine" or,put "My hands on his shoulders and squeezed them a little then said how you doing? NEXT!!Sunday. You get what I saying don't you? Make your move! Tomorrow is not granted!

Denise32 agony auntI think in this case you might want to be bold and invite him to have lunch with you sometime. You could suggest a particular day - i.e., how about next Wednesday or Friday - and see how he responds. If he is interested this will give him an opening........or you could just tell him you'd enjoy meeting for lunch one day and ask if he'd like that too.

Let us know what happens!

Jmtmj agony auntWell if you're going to wait around for him to make a move, at least give him a more concrete sign that you're interested. A green light for him that its ok to get closer to you basically...
