writes:My question is how do I know a man likes me? My daughter is involved in theater and two summers back and man would hang around in the hallways during some rehearsals and all of tech week. He also would go to all the performances. I hang out in the hallway making the bio-boards and helping out during performances tickets, concessions etc. I asked him if he knew anyone in the play and he said no. I found out he knows one of the director's parents. Last summer my family and I ended up having this man on our bowling team (a fundraiser for the play). Whenever me and my daughter see him we always say hi to him. He is very shy, but seems really nice. I went to a play the theater group was hosting and he was there. Before we left he tracked me down and told me that he tried out and was going to be in the next play. I also found out that he even went to a acting workshop. Some of my friends were in the workshop and told me how nice he is. He always seemed to find a way to contact me in regards to seeing plays that my child is in other than the group she does plays with. Once I heard that he tried out for the play I was really supportive because I know how out of the box it was for him to do. I told him that he could fb friend me. I found out that he is single and has two teenage kids. He has a good job and we have more than a few things in common. I have always gotten a vibe from him that he likes me. We went to a play a few weeks ago and he was there. I found out he had already seen it and was seeing it again. I ended up parking near him, not intentionally and we walked in together. I started a casual chat with him a few days ago and we ended up talking for 3 hours. The next day he initiated it and it went on for at least 2 hours. I did in a kidding way ask him what it takes for a girl to get asked out for coffee, but he didn't respond. We both love coffee and he posts about being at Starbucks all the time. I found out he really likes to cook and not what most men think is cooking (opening up a can or breakfast food). He really cooks, gourmet meals. He is already coming to my daughter's next play. He told me that he got his ticket. Don't know what else to do have been giving plenty of hints. He knows I'm divorced and that I have two kids. I just get this vibe that he likes me, but doesn't know how to approach me. I think everyone has had that happen to them, he clams up but, then he is always around. It isn't creepy or anything like that. I'm really friendly and out going especially in my element, when helping out during the plays have done it enough that I know most of the people. I'm in good shape and attractive. I don't know what to do beyond this point. I am beginning to like him, but don't want to come off as pushy or desperate. Would appreciate any advice.

I have since chatted with this man a few times on fb and it usually lasts at least 2 hours. He came to my daughter's play last week and I invited him to join us for dinner before it and he did show up. We already ate, but he ended up walking around and looking at some of the stores with us. He also hung out after the show with us. I also had some money issues (off during the summer) and wasn't sure I was going to be able to go to the play that he is in. He offered and ended up buying us tickets for the show. He is very shy and is a little nervous around me. In fact he kept touching his beard, which he is growing fuller for the show. He is interested, but don't know what else to do. Want him to pursue me. Have asked men out in the past and hasn't worked out. He knows that I'm single and not dating and he isn't either or else he would bring someone other than his daughter or niece to plays. He also brought off some crutches for my daughter to use (she hurt her foot). My birthday is tomorrow hope he makes a move. If not what advice does anyone have?

He does sound nice, as do you. But for some reason, wnat is jumping out at me is that he might be gay, but lonely, and would love a friend to see plays and do things with, but does not know how to tell you that because he is not sure how you would react. I may be wrong, but for some reason that is sticking in my head when I read your question.
