He sent me a sunrise

Its been a year, if he wanted to ask you I think he would have by now.

Are you sure he isn’t married or living with someone?

L, you don’t disappoint. LMAO

Andrea, agreed. Very sad indeed.

Unless he starts courting you properly ignore all other “non unromantic gestures”. And yes, there are tons of textbooks, tons of online material. Most of them are cynical and most of them are actually counter productive with women. They are meant to help a guy get laid asap. But when men use those tricks on women they are with, like triangulation, hot and cold, bad boys get all the women, etc, they end up souring their relationship, and the dude just can’t get it why. I know of a couple guys in their mid 30s. They keep using the “manuals”. And I keep telling them you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Your dude can indeed be married or in a relationship. Ask him directly next time. I have a guy at work who asked me for coffee. We talk often about fitness, as we are both into it seriously, and so I asked, does you wife bike with you. He said no she does not. He knew I was married, but he knew nothing about my marriage, and yet he asked me out for coffee, always trying to put his arm around me, smiling into my eyes, so all those cheat tricks. I heard a rumour he is actually divorced but he chose to tell me he is married. Regardless he is friendzoned and yet he still hangs around and still asks me out every couple of months. The point of me saying this is when a man WANTS to, he will ask you out regardless of whatever. LOL

I hope you didn’t respond to that lazy and meaningless tidbit.

Well no I didn’t because he didn’t accompany it with any words and it was so out of context – what do I say – ‘nice’? Lame. I just wondered if this was him maybe starting to make moves.
