Welcome to Gaia! ::

So this is a continuation of a situation that I posted on here a while ago. Here's my old post to just restate the back ground of this situation. My new question will be in bold at the end of the old post

Old Post: Over the summer I met this guy who worked at this store that I often go to. We talked and got a long and he seemed like he was flirting with me. He would wave, smile, have long conversations with me when no one was around, tell me things like "tonight's there's a meteor shower you should watch it" or "the sunset was so beautiful today" and so on. So, I eventually got up the nerve to give him my # and ask him out on a date. Welllll he told me (in the nicest way possible) that he was actually engaged (i got the feeling this was very recent) and that he couldn't and he hinted at there being to large of an age difference (7yrs). But I still feel like he had feelings for me. At any rate, the summer ended but before it did (AND AFTER THE AWKWARD PHONE #/DATE THING) he gave me his number and said to call him and that he was fine with just hanging out. Well obviously I didn't want to because 1. he was engaged and 2. I felt embarrassed from my last attempt to be close with him. But then yesterday, after not speaking with him since August I txted him and we talked for about an hour and the topic came up of his engagement and he told me that they had ended it at the beginning of the new year. after talking some more about college and other stuff he said, I quote (ie this is the text msg) " have you got plans this weekend?" of course I said no to which he replied " well i've got some time during the day mebe we could meet up for a bit, do a walk or coffee or just chillax" to which I said either is fine and we'll make it happen. SO this saturday we're going for coffee and a walk on the beach (it's the PNW so it's cold and miserable but still pretty so not the most romantic thing). Is this a date?

New Post: So, the "maybe date" never happened because he had to help an unexpected family thing. After which I never talked to him again (this happened like... maybe 5 months ago?). Yesterday he msg'ed me on FB because apparently we have a few mutual friends (didn't know that!). He said that he hadn't heard from me since the weekend he had to bail on me and that he was sorry again for hat and that he got a new phone, same number but lost all of his old numbers so I should "give him a ring" so he'll have my number again. What do I do? and I still dunno if he likes me or not.

sounds good! thank you! biggrin

I did a few days ago but the convo ended kind of awkwardly and I haven't heard from him since :

Yeah, that makes sense! I think I will wait a few more days and then text him again but at the same time, keeping my options open. Besides, I'm not looking for a commitment just yet, I just wanna date haha
