i met this guy on here and decided to stay friends because we had similar interests. i say "stay friends" because, when we met, he was interested in a friends-with-benefits type situation. i personally couldn't do that, especially as a virgin. i developed a bit of a crush on him (well-spoken with a nice voice, good taste in clothes, funny), but since he wasn't very responsive in the first few months of us talking, i assumed he wasn't interested in anything more with me. i eventually shared that i got ghosted by a weirdo, and he said he got ghosted too. this was the final nail on the coffin, because before this he sounded constipated trying to compliment my looks. he also said how his "beautiful" ex raised his standards.
mix in a few more moments that made him come across as indifferent to me (friendly or otherwise), until we finally made things work and met for dinner. i thought he asked me out on a date since he kept asking when i'd be free, but apparently not. he said he enjoyed himself before he parted ways, though he didn't respond to me saying i got home alright. he didn't say he got home safe either.
i thought that would be the last i'd talk to him. about a week later he sent me a video of his dog, and after that the short chats shifted into a comfier, lighter vibe. he asked when i'd be coming back to town, and when i asked why he said he liked hanging out with friends. i told him we'd do something when i get back, and he said yay.
i know i shouldn't be overthinking this, but should i even make a move at this point? he's bisexual and probably doesn't think much about spending lots of time alone with a woman, but still. lately i've been sticking to the assumption that any and all of the guys i get interested in don't feel the same. most of the time i'm right. should i just give up?
