So, a bit of background information, I have liked this guy for a while now. We hung out together on Monday after he finished work, and when he was taking me home, he said we would have to do it again sometime. Only next time we would spend more time together. I agreed and asked him when, to which he said he would let me know. Keep in mind that before our first time hanging out, he left it almost two werks before telling me a date.

Today, I've finally admitted to my crush that I like him. I was honestly crying, and he knew I was. He said that he already knew, that he could tell through my body language. He said we would still be friends. But, since I've confessed to him, he's kind of rushed our second hang-out, saying we would meet tomorrow. If I hadn't of told him how I feel, I believe he wouldn't have mentioned meeting at all! He usually picks up his daughter on a Friday afternoon, but suddenly his mum's picking her up.

I'm happy that I'm going to see him again, but then again, I'm kind of worried. What could be the reason behind the sudden urge to see me tomorrow?

Exactly what you think it is...

I notice he was sure to make the "friends" disclaimer, first.

If a men says he wants to be friends, that's what it means. Why don't you ask him why he wants to see you?

I'm sorry but to me it sounds like he's looking for a friendly booty call and that's all.

Guys don't meet up with you in person to break up with you, so I'd relax about whatever he wants to say. Although the 'we would stil be friends' doesn't bode well for a love connection.

He does not want to miss the window of opportunity provided by your vulnerability.

Walking...no, running in the other direction would be my suggestion.

quite honestly I think you're reading far too much into this, everyone is.

I'm not going to try to interpret exactly what was said when he said about still being friends. It's out of context and I believe something was left out and I wouldn't want to draw any conclusions from it. My inclination though is to ask, did he mention you would still be friends with relation to your nervousness about having admitted to liking him? Could it have been that he was saying "don't worry" your telling me this won't make me stop being friends with you... ? Maybe?

Ok so. he already knew you liked him. Your admitting it to him wasn't news to him, yet he was already wanting to hang out with you. He still wants to hang out with you and there is a chance that people here in their negative view of him may be right, I will admit there are plenty of bad choices of men (and women) that we all can make out there but there isn't enough information to draw that conclusion definitively IMO.

So if I'm off base I'm sorry. I think you should relax a bit and not try to figure things out while reading between the lines. You always have the option of walking away if he is taking advantage and wants you to jump into bed with him right away.

See what unfolds. Just don't invest to much more until you see how he acts and how you both get along.

I would simply play it be ear. If you're unfamiliar with that expression it means to take something one step at a time. I'd hope for the best but not presume anything here.

I hope that he is a genuine guy, but he already dumped on his daughter to pick u up, so I will reserve judgement. I think if he says any thing like, ...."I'm not really ready for a relationship, but...." " I really like you, but...." or anything that suggests an ex, is his excuse for things.

Any of those I would carefully back away from.but you r the one who is there. Trust your head, hearts are stupid.
