Does he like me?

Asked by biancat (9points) November 12th, 2018

I met a 24 y/o old guy about a week and half ago online. We hit it off great. We have quite a few mutual real life friends. He started calling me every night about 4 days after we met. Because he’s currently in a different city, he ask if we could Skype soon and I agreed.

We will be in the same city from next month. We both are nature lovers so he asked if I wanted to go on a trip with him and i agreed to tag along.

I don’t know if he just seems me as a friend or not. Tonite we were catching up and he said he will have to delete some apps in order to download Skype. I jokingly said lets just use Facebook Messenger to videochat, I don’t know want you to delete apps because of me. He said okay great I didn’t want to delete the apps. I said jokingly you could of made me feel special for a second and he said no I can’t let you feel like that and he was giggling.

Was that his sign to say he just likes me as a friend? I’m confused because I asked him how come he was single and he said he haven’t met anyone magical but he now considers meeting me magical.

Thanks for the help.

Don’t let yourself get giddy over a guy you’ve never met.
Don’t plan any trips with him before at least meeting once in a safe public area.
You mentioned acquaintances in common. Have you talked with any of those people about him?
I think you should pull back a bit and make safety your first priority.

He either likes you or wants to wear your skin. So yes, listen to Patty and ask your friends about him and definately no trips alone!!

Don’t look for signs in one sentence. Guys usually do not play those games.

I wouldn’t assume anything about a guy you met online. It could be anything at that point.

Having never actually met, he may like what he imagines you are.

What do you mean by “nature” and “a trip?” If you and he are planning to do some urban sightseeing, at a place such as a public park or arboretum, that would be a nice first date. If you’re talking about visiting a remote area, however, please don’t do that. This guy is a stranger, and you need to have plenty of other people nearby when you meet him.

It’s fine to get excited about seeing someone new. But, I fully agree with @Patty_Melt; don’t overthink a guy you’ve yet to meet.

Don’t ever agree to go on a trip with a man you met online and have never met, and have not gotten to know, in person, over months, and many meetings, and figuring out for real (not speculation) about how both of you feel, and finding out what both of you are looking for in a relationship.

Always be cautious, and move deliberately, and take lots and lots of time getting to know someone. If he, or anyone else tries to rush you into sex, or a relationship, or into any kind of situation (like a trip, or being alone with him, or doing drugs) he is not out for your best interest.

Talk to your mutual friends. Plan some get togethers with those friends and this guy, or your other friends who don’t know him (so they can give you their take, without having a giddy crush on him) but don’t be alone with him, until you have a better understanding of who he is, and what kind if person he is, and what kind of relationship goals he has.

It sounds too good to be true, and I suspect it is. Proceed with extreme caution!
