I met someone but.. at a bar.. suggestion?

[Karen]

Yes. I actually gave him my #, then he called my cell phone to get his number in it. He checked to make sure it was my # and I made sure it was his. So, it isn't fake or anything.

I did have his email address, but ha, it didn't work - but it figures.

I am going to call him eventually, see what's up and see if he wants to hang out.

I am so bad at this thing - dating - I don't know the games or the rules of dating, basically but I'm just gonna take it slow and see how it goes.

He was ONLY the guy that came up to me at the bar just to say hi and he kept apologizing if he'd offend me because I knew sign language and he wanted to participate in that and sign a little to me. He just talked to me, and I was with a group of friends, and he just came up and talked to me. When he asked to buy me a drink, I was thinking "ME?! Wow."

I don't have this happen to me much often, honestly.

Wait a bit, then give him a call. It is 2006, it's okay for a girl to call a guy! Then if you want, set up a public place to meet, and have an ASL lesson plan in your head to start the conversation!

My mom and dad met at a bar...I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't see any harm in calling him

I met my bf at a bar and let me tell you, he is the most wonderful person in the world. The weird part was that whenever ANYONE would walk up to me in a bar I wouldn't talk to them. Maybe a hello or whatever but I wasn't the nicest person, but when my bf, Joe, walked up to me it was different right away. That was over 2 years ago . Not everyone in a bar is just looking for a good time, some are looking for relationships.

I say give it a chance.

Also, Joe told me that at the beginning he was trying to play it cool, but he really liked me right away. So if this guy tries to be a little stand-offish don't worry too much. Just a little advice. Good luck!

And..

He wants to go to the ASL social on Friday evening with me.. and he has to see if he can get someone else to take his place at his work, so he'll let me know about that, if not.. I asked him if he was up to for hanging out over the weekend.. and he said he would.. so.. so.. I guess something good comes out of this.. and I am just letting it go with the flow..

Spending time with you on a weekend means he's pretty into you. Just more of my advice

[CountryWolf07]

I am exactly LIKE you! I don't just talk to guys at bars.. I just ignore them like you did, but for some reason, I just was able to talk to David. He seems like he's worth the chance, so I'm gonna go for it... and see what happens..

It's actually pretty hard to hold back and hope that it isn't too good to be true..

There's something about him, though. It's a good thing.

Oh something else, my friends told me that he was trying to figure out when to come up to talk to me, because it took him like 10-15 mins, and they noticed him looking at me from the distance.. and when he came up to me, he was somewhat nervous, but I guess I kept telling him it was all good, and we started talking, well, more like signing in ASL.

So did you two meet up this weekend? What happened?

[CountryWolf07]

He picked me up in his red Wrangler Jeep - he is a sweetheart, very nice guy! He's exactly my type, what I"m looking for. He's only 5'7" and very nice smile/eyes.. Most importantly, he is HILARIOUS! We went out to Eddie George's, a restaurant on High St. to have lunch... he paid for it, opened the doors.. I made a comment about how I hated elevators when we were in it to go down from the top of the parking lot, and he was like, why.. and I told him I got stuck in one.. and when we got back to the parking lot, went on the elevator again, he jokingly "pretended" to press all the buttons.. because he remembered. So yeah over lunch, we talked a lot but he mainly had me LAUGHING almost the entire time. I felt so comfortable and I was at ease. It is a good thing. Usually I can't talk much around guys but I could talk a lot to him. He is just so adorable. I love his personality. Good looks, good personality, good attitude about life, etc. He is in the ROTC of the air force. He wants to be a pilot and that's his dream to.

I hope this is going to lead to something. Like, we play off eachother really well relating to humor. He's pretty cool and I do like him. I told him that I"d love to hang out again if he wanted to and he was like "Yes I would!" and so I'm looking foward to that.

I'm just not sure if he's into me or not yet, but he asked a lot of questions, but I think he could be playing it cool for now..

Also, when I had lunch with Dave, he mentioned how french sign language was the same thing as ours, like similiar.. then he was like, what's the sign for a hangover? I was like hm, good question.. and I swear this, later that night my friend's bf asked me the same thing, and her bf's friend, Beau was talking about how French's sign language was same as ours.. and I'm like, What is this?! Twice in one day...

I just thought that was really weird

[ComedyDevil]

Please tell me you've posted this same thing somewhere else, cause I swear I've read what you just wrote before ... unless I'm going crazy!

Glad things are working out - he sounds like a great guy!

[My Peanuts]

Honestly, this is exactly how my bf is. No joke. When we met we would laugh at each other’s comments and jokes a lot and we still do. Before him I was with the same guy for 10 years and I thought that some of the stuff that Joe was doing, like opening doors, was an act, but he still does it after 2 years. Your guy really really sounds a lot like mine!

After being with the same person for 10 years I thought I'd be a wreck with a new person, but I was comfortable with Joe right away. I think that’s key and it sounds like you and this guy have that kind of comfort. I wish you the best of luck and I hope this turns into something meaningful. I hope you end up as happy as I am.
