Question - (28 April 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 29 April 2009)
A female Mexico age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hi, I contacted a guy on a popular website for friends on the weekend, and he immediately added me.

I never do these kind of things but I have been single for too long.

I could see he changed his mood status from stressed to adventurous, right after we made contact.

So we have been writing back and forth.

We live about 30 miles fom each other.

I asked to tell me about him, he replied and mentioned he has not been to my town in a while but that there is a good restaurant there and he could not remember the name, so I said you should drive up, it's relatively close.

I had also asked about his mood status and what made him change from stressed to adventurous.

I got a reply from him he mentioned that he felt like driving to see where the resturant was.

And that he went from stressed to adventorous because he felt like driving on the weekend.

He sent another message saying he remembered the restaurant name and he told it to me, and I did say I know the restaurant but I have never been there, except for one time when we could not get a table because it was too full and asked where did he feel like driving to on the weekend.

He also chaged his mood to restless? what does it mean?

Could this mean his thinking of asking me out?

I made the first contact but I want to go slow and not scare him off? and I want him to ask me out.

I am new to dating (after 23 years) so I need advice...

Thanks,

He sounds keen to meet but may not realise you have been out of the game for a while. Tell him you really like him but would like to take things slowly.

If and when you do decide to meet him, make sure it is in daylight, say lunchtime, and make sure someone knows where you are, so as to keep safe, because you don't really know who he is until you meet.

So you contacted him this past weekend? As in saturday? It's only Tuesday. 3 days. I would chat for awhile - at least another week - before meeting up. He's already hinting that he wants to see you by mentioning the restaurant in your town - so chat for another week ( to make sure you like him and he's not wacky) and then this time next week - if he hasnt asked you out- send a message. " Still feeling adventurous? How about checking out that restaurant?"
