See if he talks about his dating life with you. If he’s a good friend, he probably wouldn’t mind sharing some deets

Say “you’re like a brother to me” and see how he reacts

Omg that’s so mean 😂

The reason why I ask is because
1) he was very upset that I didn’t tell him that I had a bf the first time we met (I brought it up like the 3rd time bc no one asked and it was with a bunch of other ppl)
2) he keeps texting me constantly (we’re not that close we hung out in a larger group like 4-5 times but maybe he thinks im cool idk)
3) he keeps making excuses to see me so we got lunch once (“hey im gonna go to your area bc weather is nice do you wanna grab lunch” etc.). I have been saying no all other times but he still asks like every week. I don’t mind seeing him 1:1 but I just don’t want him to think I am interested in him if he is
4) he remembers various trivial things i’ve said in passing and follows up on it (e.g. gifts me something i mentioned i wanted to try)

He knows I’ve been in a 4 yr relationship but it’s long distance. I have this strange feeling he might be interested but he might just want to get to know me as a friend. Kinda hard to tell...

Basically if he texts you won’t open his message until bed time

My sister thinks that me being miffed about a guy not finding time to text back within 24 hours is abrasive and demanding.

She’s a people pleaser and different personality, but dang I’m not asking for much.

Signed up for a matchmaking service a couple months ago after getting tired of the apps. And while I’ve been underwhelmed with their process so far, I finally have my first match date this weekend. Haven’t been on a date since pre-pandemic. And never been on a true blind date like this. Wish me luck.
