Should I jump the gun to let him know I want him?

Question - (9 May 2011) 7 Answers - (Newest, 11 May 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

If you felt that a man showed interest in you, would you reciprocate even further?

There's a guy - an older man - at my university who I'm physically attracted to (just thinking about him turns me on!). He's recently let me know that he's noticed me, and has started small conversations with me. He's usually the reserved type, so I'm taking his effort to talk to me as a sign that he's interested. So far, all we've done is talk for short periods.

I'm not looking for a relationship (don't think he is either, which I'm fine with).

Since I'm so sexually attracted to him and the only sign he gave is talking to me, should I jump the gun and let him know I want him? And how should I go about it? Jump on him to let him know, or something less direct? :P

IHateWomanBeaters agony auntIf you like him, tell him!

Games are for kids.

I think he would consider you to be much more attractive and worth talking to if you indicate and reciprocate back.

One thing that is a huge turnoff for me that I absolutely cannot deal with, is a woman that doesn't show interest when she's interested.

He has no ring. I checked :)

Another thing is that we can't talk freely because of other students around. I keep hoping we're left alone so I can maybe say something direct to him.

I feel like this is a race before the semester is over, but I'm pretty sure I'll see him next semester. But I don't want to wait!

tennisstar88 agony auntDo you live with a roommate? See if she/he will step out for the evening and let you have the place to yourself. If you live at home with your parents that won't do.

The only option you have let if to be forward and let him know you would like to sleep together. Of course that's after you've talked to him a bit and know he's single.

I don't think he's married; but I haven't checked his finger for a ring.

I wish I lived alone! So I can't invite him over like you said.

I was hoping for something before the semester ends, which is like in a couple of days. Maybe I'll see him next semester too.

Ah frustration at my situation!

:D

tennisstar88 agony auntLike campus security? Goodness when I was in college they all acted like a bunch of rent-a-cops...a complete turnoff! Anyways, too each his own. Does this officer have a ring on his finger? If not, then he's fair game. Just ask him if he's able to take a coffee break with you. That's inviting him to get to know you on a personal level. Proceed to chat him up about things other than college.

Or wait, do you just want to bed him only ? In that case, cut the small talk and invite him to your apartment for the evening to seduce him.

No, he's not a professor. But he does work at the university - a police officer.

I don't know how to bring this up with him!

(Why is "period" one of the tags for this question? I'm not on my period! Haha!!)

tennisstar88 agony auntDepends on who this older man is...he wouldn't happen to be a professor would he? If the answer is yes, then the answer to your question is no.
