    Where do I go from here?

    So I met this guy. We absolutely hit it off. Talked the entire night and wound up not even hanging out with our own friends because we were so interested and intrigued with each other. Told me he's never met a girl with such similar interests and that was so down to earth. He tells me, "where have you been all my life." The feeling was mutual. We continued to text and that following week we hung out. He came over to my friend's house, had a few drinks, smoked...and went back to his house...where we just cuddled and watched Always Sunny. Let me interject here by saying...it felt like we have known each other forever...the whole thing was so natural. That night he repeatedly told me how awesome I was and he even asked me, if I was single and I jokingly said that I was married and had another boyfriend, and said wanna join in the gang? He replies, I wouldn't want to be your second boyfriend, I'd want to be your first. When I left that night, he gave me a goodnight kiss and we went our separate ways. So here I am now, my mind is completely blown by this guy...I am 23 and have met and dated many guys...but this one was different. He texts me on an off, but takes forever to respond (mind you, he apologized to me that night about his phone because sprint has been having problems/I don't know if it's still happening) He called me this weekend and we talked a bit...but I'm feeling like I'm missing something and I don't know what to do. I just found out my cousin is best friends with his younger sister and she told me that he's a really good guy/not a player, knows how to treat a lady, but has got screwed over by girls in the past. He told me he hasn't dated anyone in a long time and seemed completely genuine. Everything was awesome both times we have hung out and he has never told me differently that he's not into it...but he doesn't seem like he's putting a whole lot of effort into wanting to get to know me better. Do I say something to him about me being interested in getting to know him better...do I play hard to get/pretend I'm not interested...or do I just leave it be. I cannot lose this guy and I really don't know where to go from here.

    Whatever you do girl don't play hard to get. It will hurt both of you.
    Don't play easy to get either . Don't play. Period.
    Also don't allow your racing mind to set the pace for him.
    Everybody's speed is different. Relax,be yourself and enjoy every minute of being with him.

    WTF??? He did put a lot of time into getting to know you and spending time with you. Are you crazy???

    And if you play hard to get he will leave, as that shows you are not interested. Sounds like he doesn't play games. If you like him, you better tell him, fast. And tell him every 2-3 days if you want to keep things going.

    All words. Words mean squat if there are no actual actions showing you that he means his words.

    We continued to text and that following week we hung out.
    ...where we just cuddled and watched Always Sunny.
    What other actions besides hanging out that one time has he showed you that he is interested in getting to know you more.

    I agree that you shouldn't play hard to get but you shouldn't sit around waiting for him to make another date either. So: Either contact him and ask him to do something (outside of yours or his home) and if he makes excuses then he's not that interested. If you're uncomfortable with being the one to move things along to another meeting then don't put too much feelings into things because it's obvious he isn't.

    God damn, thanks for making me snap out of it. I'm just so use to all the bullshit games everyone plays. I really could see this going somewhere...so like you said...tell him and tell him fast. Totally calling him after this post. I can't let this one slip away. and for you "wake up" this is exactly why I was posting because the actions are lacking. But honestly, what do I have to lose. If he doesn't want to see me...then I get a no and move on.

    hahaha well I called him, told him I'm interested in him and wanted to hang out again and he asked what I wanted to do...so we are hanging out tonight and watching the hawks game. How hard was that? not hard at all. I guess he is interested too then if we have plans. whooo!
