Back out on the dating scene after years... so how can I tell if we are more than friends?

Question - (4 May 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 5 May 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am single for the 1st time in 9 years and am not sure how to tell how a guy feels about me. I have been hanging out with a guy from work, going to the cinema, meeting up for drinks, watching DVDs at his house, and from my perspective, we're just hanging out as friends. However, all my friends say he'll be thinking that there's more to it, that if you meet up with a guy on your own, they're going to think there's more than friendship on offer. I'm too shy to come out and ask him about this (it would sound arrogant, right?) but wonder if there are any hints (body language?) that I can look out for to suss out his feelings - anyone got any tips, please?

Also, if his expectations are of something more than friendship (which mine definitely are not) how do I handle this?

kellyxxx agony auntGo on google and type in flirt body language, or something similar, it should bring up loads of things. If he does like you as more than a friend then you just need to tell him that you are not looking for that at the minute and you thought you were friends, and apologise for seeming to lead him on.x

firstly..

"However, all my friends say he'll be thinking that there's more to it, that if you meet up with a guy on your own, they're going to think there's more than friendship on offer."

i hang out with guys and im the only girl all the time and there isnt anything read into it. sometimes me and one go to lunch or me and another go to theme parks.

Why cant you just enjoy it for how it is at the moment,make a point of saying im so glad were friends, if he reacts to this then you will have to say if he doesnt then you know he wants the friendship the same.

just enjoy it your finally having fun after so many years why ruin it just yet??
