So I (early 30s) met this guy at a bar the other night while I was out with friends. We talked for maybe 45 minutes and he asked for my number. I told him upfront I’m not really dating right now and I’m happily single when he asked why. He said that was totally fine and we could still hang out sometime after I said I’m open to friendship.
A few days later he invites me to get food together. It was honestly an okay time. Good conversation, nothing weird, no talks about dating or relationships. He paid (I offered to split). Before we left he casually said we should hang out again sometime.
Then yesterday, a couple days after our dinner, he suggested to cook me dinner at his place today.
I told him the weather is supposed to be nice and I didn’t want to be stuck indoors, which he quickly improvised to meet my needs and still cook for me!
I initially mentioned the weather as a subtle way to avoid going to his place… but after he improvised the plan I was like, fuck it.
He’s been polite and normal so far, but this definitely feels like it’s drifting into date territory.
Am I overthinking this or is this guy clearly trying to date me? 😂
And if so, why?! Especially after telling him I’m happily single and not dating right now?? #relationships source
