Question - (19 December 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 19 December 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Ok, so I've known this guy since May of this year..met him thru an online dating site. At the time I was starting a new relationship, so I just saw it as friends. We get along just great and have so many things in common. After the break-up we went out on a date. I thought I blew it since my mind was elsewhere.. Yeah thinking about my ex. Well apparently not since he asked me out a few days later. And we're going out again this weekend. Movies and dinner. He did say, 'I haven't been to the movies in awhile'.. Then I said, "Me either'. His response after that was, 'Well there you go buddy.'

We text and call each other frequently, but I've noticed he calls me 'Buddy' every now and then. So, is it a maybe in terms of a relationship or he just sees me as a girl to hangout with?

Crafter agony auntOh, come on. Maybe if he spells your name with capital letter in the text messages, he has hairy feet?

Instead of trying to read into signs, look at the HUGE picture - he asked you out on a date. Twice at that.

How much more obvious can it get, buddy?

Just go out and have fun. Even a blind man would see that the chap is all over you.

I have a spec on the upper left corner of my monitor. I think it will rain platypuses tonight...

blawndie agony auntHm, "buddy" might just be something he says a lot, like it might just kind of slip out. Maybe you should see what would happen if you called him buddy, or pal or something like that. It might be because he only does see you as a 'buddy' but then I don't see why he would pursue you for so long.. That's a tough one.

Or maybe just joke around with him about the whole concept of "buddy". I know I have called my boyfriend "buddy" some times because it just slips out.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I have to add that he was asking me out during the time that I was with my ex. But I was like..yeah, yeah soon. I never let it get to that point out of respect for my current bf. But the night of the break-up he said 'it's official now I can really ask you out on a date.'
