So I met this 18 year old guy on a dating site, got chatting and added each other on Facebook ect. We live about 7 miles away from each other and have like 15 mutual friends on Facebook. We spoke a lot on Facebook for about 2 months and decided that it would be time to meet up for a date. Met up, date happened it went great. We both IM'd and said how we enjoyed the evening ect.
Today (the day after) we didn't really speak much, I would try start a conversation but he would only give one word answers like yeah or lol. later in the evening he explained to me how he enjoyed the evening but wanted to just stay friends and see where it leads. He also said that he was certainly not rejecting me.
When we speak through IM I find it easy to run out of things to say. I feel that I am generally better at speaking face to face due to pressure and events around you ect. But as it took 2 months to meet face to face it might not be too often. He doesn't have a lot of free time in the week; He has no days off. In the week he goes to college and on the weekend he works. So it would only be evenings that we would be able to hang out.
I really do like this guy, we have a lot in common and if had the chance we could probably talk for hours on end; during the date there were no awkward silences. The question is - Is he letting me down gently?
I am 18 and go to a different college. I have kept this anonymous because he uses other gay forums.
