Dating/Friendship Advice

[pman117]

hey guys,

so i decided to ask him if he was interested in me taking him out for dinner, because i wanted to get to know him better in person rather than endless texting.

for me, if he doesnt get back to me with a date for me to book dinner, then i'm going to back away from this, because endless texting is not for me, and neither is friendship.

So in a way, I do hope he'll reach out with a date, but i feel better knowing that this is the last chance i'm giving myself.

While I certainly admire your ability to make this a last chance type of thing, you might wait until you see how he responds. I'm always concerned when throwing words like "date" or "take you out" because of the seriousness they can imply. If he seems iffy on dinner (not straight up turning you down but maybe noncommittal) maybe consider lunch or even something less formal like watching a sporting event or something.

To me, dinner always seems like a bigger deal than lunch or just a casual hangout. I've said before I'm new to this whole "liking someone more than a friend" thing so maybe I'm 100% wrong in my though process having never dated anyone, ever.

At the same time, I understand how you might not want to hold on to this since, from your explanations, you seem to be more about a physical, in person connection. So take what I said with a grain of salt. Best of luck and keep us informed!
