Does He Like Me?
At one point in time, he did. It all started with My Favorite Date, and we even dated for a few short weeks before I had to leave town. It was magical and amazing when it happened, and I still kick myself for leaving when I did. More than a year later we reunited, but things had changed. Something was missing he said, even though he readily admits he was in the midst of falling for me when we first met.
At one point in time we lived across the country from each other, but several years have passed and now our homes lie mere meters from one another.
We’ve both dated since; he countless other women (my head swims a bit trying to keep track of each one), whereas I had one fellow who broke my heart once and for all after years of back-and-forth withdrawals, and one young gal whose relationship with me was exceptionally short lived. I was willing to end everything with everyone for him, whereas two of the women he dated he chose to pursue instead of dating me again.
He’s since admitted to me that he can be stupid to verifiably ridiculous proportions, and that sometimes he thinks with the wrong head.
Strangely, none of that matters to me. I still get twitterpated when I see him. He came over for a visit tonight.
There is undeniable chemistry between us still, and conversations flow like good wine, varying from the mundane to the risque and back again. We are both currently single and dateless.
Although we shared nothing more than great conversation this evening, it felt very much like the time spent during our first few encounters. Was it a date? Does he like me? Again? More?
I feel silly and childish to admit: I’m afraid to ask.

I think that the only thing to do is ask him straight up! Otherwise you risk getting your heart broken again. You should know where you stand for both of your sakes. Maybe he wants to start something again, maybe he doesn’t but you’ll never know till you confront him! Have some wine first……..haha!

Instinctively I know this. I even had a dream last night about an email he had sent (only in the dream, not in real life) alluding to these same themes. Still, it doesn’t feel right to bring it up, so I won’t. I’d rather not know for the time being.

So here we are — grown women blogging on whether “he likes me.” Yep, talk about feeling silly. But that’s just how it is. I enjoyed reading your 30-something version!

the best answer for that is, ask him…make it straight to the point and look at him in the eye straight. In that way you can easily feel and see if he is lying.

Ask Him! I’m a guy and I really appreciate it when women are forthcoming with me. Maybe he is shy or feels that he screwed things up and doesn’t want to be embarrassed. That’s the worst that can happen-being embarrassed-but if you don’t let this guy know you still have feelings for him you could wind up a lot worse off than just ‘embarrassed’. Ask Him.
