I'm having trouble telling if he is interested. Help! I think he may have caught on to some of my hints. We're definitely more friendly with each other at work now, and he asked me out for a drink last weekend after work - but it's been a week and he hasn't asked me out again.

I should clarify that he and I work as musicians and entertain for events and restaurants. Unfortunately, my very jealous ex also knows that we've hung out, and [the ex] showed up to one of our performances wasted and caused a big fuss. I fear this could have scared him away. I've taken measures to separate myself from my ex (blocked on facebook, and I clearly expressed that he is no longer invited to my performances) - but we all run into each other on occasion.

I sincerely regret dating my ex because it was a really casual relationship, and I told him from the start it wasn't going anywhere so we shouldn't get involved if he has any really feelings - but he decided he could make me fall in love with him and he is still trying. I would hate to think that might get in the way of being with somebody I truly feel a genuine connection with.

Anyway, that's just a complicating factor I thought I should mention, because I thought it might have to do with why he hasn't asked me out again. I don't know what to do. Is it up to me to make the next move?
