Does it seem like he is interested in me as just a friend or something more?

Hi Claire
You just got out of a relationship and before jumping into another you should make sure you are ready. The fact that you are already questioning this guys actions comes across as “anxious”. I don’t see anything wrong in getting to know this guy and setting the pace on how you want things to progress. As long as you don’t sleep together and see how his actions are then I wouldn’t put too much thought into it.
Has he asked you out on a real date? Has he asked you about your current situation? Don’t put too much thought into the texting either, what his current situation?

Thank you both for your input!!

I actually and doing pretty well post breakup. I just not into healing and self care mode immediately after it happened, so I have really worked hard to get to a pretty good space with it all. I also went to therapy and worked through things there.

I just don’t want to miss out on a great guy if he could be interested in me! Haha even though I would take it very slow if he was interested.

What should I do next?

Why does it have to be something?

He has a life of his own and seems like a very sweet, very thoughtful detail oriented guy who is interested in getting to know you. I wouldn’t get too attached to the idea something more will come of it. You’ll have to watch his actions with you. His words need to line up with his actions. He may like the idea of something with you and that’s why he is talking to you. If you pressure him with “where is this going?” Questions or become too intense you may scare him off.

My advice is don’t get too caught up in your head picking him apart and let nature take its course. He could be wasting your time… you have a life of your own to live. Put you first.
