Hey now, I haven't had a kiss for seven months.
It's all good though. I haven't been ready for one either.
So, has he called Faith? [gosh, if he only knew the drill we put you thru]
Still living thru you, and glad for you!

Faith must be one of those young gals under 50.
Most 50+ women aren't so reserved, IF they like the guy.

Ha! Justin... yeah, can ya believe it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> remember... I am trying things different this time and taking things slower! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Lex, he said he'd call me soon. I text msg'd him today (a first, for us), and he called me back and left a message (I was away from my phone). He said he'd call tonight, and would like to go out Wed night. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I don't know if I'm into him. *sigh*
We talked for about 45 min. last night. It was a good conversation. There's still something kindof awkward, not too bad, but I can't put my finger on it. We're going out Wed night. Bowling, then back to my house to watch a movie. (I'm off on Thursday - YAY!).
I think... he just doesn't know how to communicate in a way to make a woman feel ... I dunno ... special. I don't know why he likes me. Ya know? I was surprised to get a kiss at all, like, I couldn't believe he had it in him. He's almost like a little boy, and, there's a reason why he's 39 and never married, and I'm trying not to hold that against him. Maybe it's never been right for him. No, I'm not going to try to force this, but I feel like I do need to give it some more time and see what happens. .... without leading him on.....

My best friend is dating a guy in his mid-thirties who has never had a girlfriend. I think its never gone past a few dates. They've now been dating about 3 months.
He's doesn't really know how to handle a lot of situations. When you said "he's like a little boy" -- it reminded me of her situation. He's almost like a puppy -- good hearted, friendly, eager -- just doesn't have it all together yet. Its kinda like she's got to train him. He treats her kinda like his "buddy." He's just really out of his element with the whole romance aspect of it.
How experienced is your guy with dating?

YAY!!!
Good plan! And if nothing else, this can just be a good experience for you...see what you can learn from him, even if it is what you DON'T want...
Enjoy getting to know him, that might take a bit of the awkwardness away. Take it SLOW!!! (but at least you got some lip action!)
Did you feel anything with those kisses?

GREAT THOUGHTS, girls!!! Thank you!
I know he has some dating experience, and I know I asked him about long-term relationships. It seems like he had a relationship that lasted about 2 years.
Did I feel anything? hmmm.... not the usual "wow"... but... appreciation for them... the warmth... the intention behind them that he wanted to kiss me... to be closer to me... and... it was nice to not be attacked.

I just got back from the doctor and had more intimacy with him than I've in a LONG time! It was kinda nice! ; )
Being close to a man (although this was a professional thing), you (I) didn't realize I was missing it, I guess!
That "wow" might come with time... check out my upcoming post on the book club thread you started!
I had time to read it while waiting on my touchy dr!

I don't know if I'm into him. *sigh* ruh roh.....so he's got no game, huh? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I like confidence in a man. Nice quiet confidence, one who is comfortable in his own skin, and comfy around women, comfy in showing his interest w/o seeming pushy, KWIM? I agree w/ others. Don't give up just yet, but listen to your gut..... DW

Thanks DW. We will see how it goes tonight. Movie-time at my house should be opportunity for some cuddling and more lip-action. We'll see what he does, and what the comfort-level is like. Meanwhile.... at work.... my friend that I wonder could be more... but we are good friends... actually suggested that we go to lunch today! I can't believe it. Today is our last day to be at work together this "year", because of our vacations back-to-back, so when I was talking about that yesterday "our last day together" blah blah... he said "Oh, then lets go to lunch and celebrate the end of 2005". yay <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
