Some of you may remember that guy that I told you about a few months ago. I met him on the last night of my vacation rental (read: You meet a guy...) Anyway, we didn't exchange numbers and I just tried to forget about it for the past few months.
I didn't forget. Last night I asked our mutual friend to please text him my number. The guy texted me right away. It was pretty funny. He didn't think that I was interested in him at all. I'm not sure why apparently I gave off some sort of "vibe" at the end of the night. We texted back and fourth a bunch and then at the end I said good night and happy halloween. Not sure if he will text or call but I'm kind of happy at least he has my number.
I feel sort of strange because WHY after several months would I get the you-know-whats to finally pass my number on to this guy? He may think I'm crazy but he said he was glad I did. Do you think he thinks I'm nuts? Is that strange?

agart245 · Nov 1st, 2009, 03:45 PM

He texted you, so it would seem that he's into you. If he thought you were crazy, you wouldn't have heard from him. Try not to over think- you will drive yourself insane.

It's always nice to hear from someone out of the blue. "Whee! Someone is interested in communicating with me and I didn't have to take the first step!" So he probably is feeling pretty good about that.

Don't overthink it. It's just texting.

Kansashalo · Nov 1st, 2009, 07:01 PM

It's not strange at all. In fact, it seems like you both were interested in one another so at least someone made the first move.

Cheetah7 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 12:13 AM

I think he's very happy about the fact that he's able to communicate with you. He obviously likes you too because he txt'd you right away so I doubt he thinks you're nuts.

Don't worry about it and just enjoy talking to him.

petitechouchou · Nov 2nd, 2009, 12:32 AM

Just go with the flow of things and enjoy!

karmenzsofia · Nov 2nd, 2009, 12:56 AM

I would feel strange and a bit lost too. Texting back and forth is the most impersonal form of communication. You say that you did that "a bunch" that night. Why? Why didn't you talk on the phone? You didn't even hear his voice. It's hard enough to not meet in person, to not have body language to read, but to also take away the benefit of hearing someone's voice...IDK.

juneping · Nov 2nd, 2009, 01:16 AM

^^i think it's a whole new generation thing....those youngsters just love texting....more like a "you can hang up without saying byebye" kind of mentality.
i talked to ppl in their early 20s...and that's what they said.

BagLadie · Nov 2nd, 2009, 07:43 AM

good for you. I believe in fate and if you have had that feeling inside of you, it's for a reason. Best of luck.

olialm1 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 10:54 AM

Super cute!! Who cares about the "WHY" aspect of things, I would just enjoy the fact that he texted you and is obviously interested in you. I say keep talking to him and hopefully things will progress and you two will get to know each other. I love stories like these

And btw, you're not strange or crazy AT ALL.... you took a chance and that's what life is about!

ilovepinkhearts · Nov 2nd, 2009, 11:30 AM

he texted you...so go with the flow have fun and enjoying chatting

IcansPotaFake32 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 09:53 PM

Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate the feedback. I don't know really where one goes from here but at least he has my number and thinks I may possibly be interested. I am not shy at all but for some reason when I think I may like a guy I am totally shocked by the idea and become kind of shy. This eventually goes away.
We'll see what happens. Thank you for the encouragement.

Jeneen · Nov 3rd, 2009, 12:01 AM

that's pretty cool - if he texted you right away he doesn't think you are crazy. I'd still take it slow and casual and see where it goes.

Update us xo

IcansPotaFake32 · Nov 16th, 2009, 09:42 PM

So it's been three weeks and we texted back and fourth. I sent him a text last week asking how his weekend was and he responded and we "talked".
Now...haven't heard anything in a week. I'm reluctant to throw a text out being the first one again. I like that things are going slow but I just kind of wish I knew what he was thinking.
So maybe that's the end of it. I have found it very hard to do the text message thing and was hoping that we could meet sometime after Thanksgiving. Need a little reassurance from him that he hasn't totally lost interest.
I have to be fair I guess in that I waited 4 months to contact him so now I guess he is entitled to as much time as he wants?!

talexs · Nov 16th, 2009, 10:04 PM

Have fun, sounds like he is into you considering he texted back right away. Also, don't overthink the whole who texts first thing, if you have something to say to him or wanna touch base just go for it. I always like stories like this so I will definitely be checking in for updates.
