Should it be me that makes the next move to arrange to see him?

Question - (28 December 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 January 2009)
A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Hi there,

A few months ago, a friend of mine introduced me to her male friend. She gave him my number a few weeks after this (she told me she was going to, not because I told her to) and a couple days later, I had a text message from him. We chatted via text message for a while and then I left it. Three weeks later (I hadn't heard from him between this time), he texted me to ask me out for a drink. I agreed and we went out.

We talked for a while, played pool, etc. I felt we had a good time.

At the end of the night, he walked me home. He suggested to me about going to the local pub where he is a chef for a meal but he didn't say 'with him'.

I texted him a few days later to say how good a time I'd had and he replied within half an hour, saying how glad he was.

I saw him around quite a few times after this, but we never met up again. The first time I saw him after we went for that drink, he looked at me, looked away, then turned his head back to look at me quite quickly. I said hi and he said hi back. The next few times I saw him, he made me feel as if I had done something wrong because he wouldn't look at me or speak to me.

On Christmas Day, I texted everybody in the morning(including him) to say happy christmas. At about 8pm, he replied to my text message, saying thanks and happy christmas to me. He put 'love you' at the end but I dismissed that as I know he didn't mean that (he's foreign). I know from our mutual female friend he is very nice and can be quite shy, which I figured when we went for the drink.

Anyway, ten minutes after he sent me that text, he phoned me to say happy christmas and asked if i was having a good day. I don't know why he phoned me straight after texting me?

As explained, this guy has already arranged to meet me for a drink but hasn't arranged to see me again since. However, on the phone last night, he said he would see me tomorrow (yesterday) at the pub he works at (I didn't go because I spent time with family). He said he would be working.

Should it be me that makes the next move to arrange to see him? I have no intention of playing games with him. Is there any significance about his actions on Christmas Day (texting me (including the 'love you' bit even though I didn't take much notice of it) and then phoning me not long after). Also, would he keep saying he would see me at the pub if he didn't want to see me?

I am thinking of texting him just casually asking how he is, etc, not directly asking him out...

Would appreciate any help!

He's texted you, phoned you, asked you to come and see him at work, and you have been a little standoffish.

It's 2009. He is not going to pop round to ask for your dad's permission while riding a white horse.

If you want to see him then go and see him at work which he asked you to do twice and you stood him up the second time. Or SHOCK HORROR phone him.

You are not 14. You can do this.

Good Luck!! xx
