In the lack of a users manual I would suggest consulting an expert. Either your friend or the man in question. Just be honest, say "I am getting crossed signals" "I need more input".Nothing ever turned me on as much as knowing someone was interested in me. I agree not to be too push about it.I'm 10 years older than him, so this may not apply, but texting just doesn't do it for me. Best of luck and keep us posted.FA

Don't call or text him anymore! That is the biggest mistake women make! Let them chase us and I can tell you by all the men I know, if they are interested in a woman, they do what they can to get her. Men really don't like women doing the chasing. So stop! Try to relax. Good luck!
