Thread: Meeting someone ... advice, please.

So, it was on Thursday night while I was working. I took a customers order and I happened to noticed his eyes, which were.. omg, amazing. I asked him "Are you wearing contacts by any chance?" and he said "No, why?" and I just commented "Oh, because they are so nice looking." and he was like "Nope, all naturel .." lol I guess he was trying to saying au natural. Well, I got his food ready for him and he sat down and the whole time he was eating, he was just enjoying looking at me ... making me nervous and smiling, I kept dropping things, haha.

Then, a friend from high school dropped by to get food and I was excited to him and talked to him for a bit, then he left and the other guy left while looking at me. He was talking to my friend (Johnny) and came back in and asked for his receipt (unfortunately, not able to get it) and he asked for a pen, we didn't have a pen, and he went outside and got a pen to write his number down and asked my co-worker to ask me to come over there... too nervous and more focused on my job, he gave it to my co-worker, who gave it to me.

Co-workers were telling me to just go ahead and text him because he was pretty cute and I don't know, something made me do it. So we started texting. He wanted to meet up at a bar down the street after I got off work that night. I said "Not really. Could we meet during the day in a more public place?" and he said "Sure, just text me when you're available" and later that night at home I texted "I'll let you know" and he said "Ok" ... now he didn't say a work all day yesterday until at night when he texted "Are you doing anything tomorrow". I said "Mostly schoolwork, but other than that, nothing" and he replied "U doin schoolwork all day? U got time to kick back right? lets hang do something" and I said "Yes, of course. What did you have in mind?" and he replied "A movie or go out to eat, somethin down that line. So we can get to know each other". I replied "Would you be up for coffee instead?" he said "Sure, where at?" I said "Starbucks would be great" I was supposed to meet him up at Starbucks today but I pushed it to tomorrow since I'm so nervous and I do have schoolwork I need to get done before Tuesday...

Advice? He does seem a bit quite in texting. I mean, don't you think that if he was really interested in me, he'd be talking alot? Like others who wanted to meet me were? ... or not necessarily? I just have this gut feeling he wants sex, which a few guys I've met recently are into that. I don't want that. I've had my fun and that's a good way to get yourself in trouble... I'm working and going to college at the same time, working a lot of hours and school is important. I'd like a relationship. I've been single for three years and would like to have someone in my life... I just don't want to get screwed over again. Was it bad that he said something about me doing schoolwork all day...?

I would like to meet him. He did text that he wanted to meet me and get to know me.

I just don't know. Maybe it's because I'm nervous and my mom would go bananas if she I told her I'm talking to a guy finally... she always does, which I'm fine with that, because I know why anyway... that's a moms job, anyway.

Should I meet him for coffee? And if I do, what would be good to wear?

Everyone has time for a quick chat and a cup of coffee. If I were him, I wouldn't text anymore. After the first 8 brush-offs I'd get the hint that you're not interested. He's done more than enough to let you know that he wants to get to know you and that he's willing to meet up for (non-creepy) coffee in a public place.
If you really want to get to know the guy you're going to have to clear an hour or two out of your day and do it quick before he loses interest.
