So, I (27F) got a job offer in a new city at a new company. I told my friend about it, and she connected me with her colleague that she knows work at that specific company within that same region. I reached out and set up a 30 min coffee chat to learn more about his (28M) work experience. After meeting virtually, I thanked him and offered to treat him out to coffee through text. After a few months, he reached out to check in on my new job but my hire date did not start till a few months later. Fast forward to a few months later, I reached out to him for that coffee chat. Unfortunately, our work schedules did not align so instead of coffee during the day we decided to grab dinner after work. I treated him out for dinner which he did not expect bc he also ordered desert after his meal. After the dinner, he thanked me and we shook hands before we left. He then texted me saying thank you and that he wishes he did not live so far. The week after- he texted me how my week was so far and asked if I was free that day for dinner. He chose a restaurant from the initial list of restaurant options I sent for the first dinner hangout. Of note, the restaurant was a bit pricier, and the vibe was elegant with dimmed lights all around. Throughout the dinner, I noticed he would make comments like “next time” or “I’m having a great time”. To me, I honestly had a great time with him, and we would laugh a lot. We talked about work, past life experiences, hobbies, interest, etc. At the end, he let me walk down the stairs first and also scanned my body from bottom up after we hugged goodbye. At the moment, I felt subconscious but looking back he might've checked me out? I’m not sure what this second hangout meant. I’m interested but I also don't want to initiate another hangout if it was purely just friends. After the second hangout, I texted him briefly saying thank you and that I'll have to reach out to him next time when I'm near his area and that was it. He'll be traveling out of state to visit family for 2 weeks, so I can't reach out until the new years for another hangout even if I wanted to. What should I do?
