Is he or isn't he?
I have this very annoying fault. I'm a great judge of character and can usually read people very well BUT I can almost never tell when a guy is interested in me. It's true! Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you the same thing; I am oblivious. It's usually my friends who have to point out that someone is staring or flirting.
So I've been talking to this guy and I think he is great. He's not your typical "himbo" and I like that about him. He's smart, he's funny, he has more than three words in his vocabulary. Basically, he's great.
We're talking and we get along great... we have a lot of things in common and some differences too, which keeps it interesting. Here's the problem, I'm having the hardest time reading him!
I can't tell if he likes me as a friend or as more. It's obvious we have a chemistry but it's an ambiguous chemistry. It could easily be one thing or the other. Sometimes signs point to more than friends and sometimes they point to friendship.
Having him in my life in either capacity would be great but still, I'd just like to know. So why not just ask? Because it could easily be misconstrued as me trying to force something to happen, or me rushing, and that means risking losing him as a friend or as something more.
What if he is interested in me that way and me asking turns him off to the idea? Or what if he isn't into me that way and by asking I scare what would be a great friend off?
I guess I have no choice but to wait and let time give me an answer.
