A question for the guys: was this a date?! Ran into a guy I knew in college at a bar, he technically asked me out (“we should get drinks sometime” etc), then paid for my drink. But as we were saying bye, it felt kinda platonic? Like just a hug and “good seeing you.” Or is he not interested? How often do you kiss on a first date?

I'd say a date, but maybe he wanted to play it cautious with you since he may not have known the energy you were bringing.

Not a date. That’s just catching up with an old friend.

Also, knowing who he was in college/who his friends were in college, there’s a non-zero chance that he’s just a little awkward…

Ran into a old college friend at bar. He says, “we should grab a drink sometime.” Assuming you exchanged numbers. He texts you on a different day, and you all meet up at the bar to grab said drink. He pays. You say your goodbyes. Is that how it went?

Your post makes it seem like he paid for your drink when you ran into each other at the bar.

Either way, I’d consider this catching up with an old friend…like the equivalent of meeting someone for coffee. If he’s interested, he’ll ask you out again, and you’ll know if it’s a date.

Sounds like a date. Not everyone kiss on first date. Unless you were very clear that you wanted a kiss and he still didn’t kiss you, otherwise he might just try not to be aggressive until he reads you better.

Probably not a date. But if he asks again in a short amount of time, and especially if he asks for dinner, then the second one is probably a date.

This is not a date in my mind. Plus, it is running into someone at a bar.

That sounds like a date. If it was just you two

Not a date, catching up and being nice paying for a drink. I pay for drinks with married friends, even groups of friends, just my way of showing people I appreciate their friendship.

IMO this was probably a date. I’m a male, and I don’t just catch up with acquaintances of the opposite sex, although if it was me I would have phrased it as “I’d love to take you out” so there wasn’t any confusion on either end, but maybe he was just feeling it out.

Did he text after the date(if so what did he say?) or have you been talking since?
