writes: So I asked a guy out for the first time ever earlier thi week, asked him if we were still on, and he said 'probably so'. what does 'probably' mean and why?! He's the one who got my number and initiated all texts. I have not been the serial psycho text girl....I've been a little aloof...and very confused now. thanks in advance

If he is into you, he will pursue you, period, end of story, you won't have to ask him, he'll be asking you.Don't make excuses for his lame behavior, he isn't shy, he isn't scared, he is lazy and not very motivated or interested in dating you...You decide what you want to do with that, I know what I would do.

I would take this as you do NOT have plans to go out with him. Personally, I wouldn't give this guy anymore of your attention. He's not interested in you.

 There's more than one way that he could have meant it.Probably so .. since we did agree on it and set the place and everything.orProbably so .. if there's no emergency that night and I can't make it.Just shrug it off or you'll end up going crazy and seeming overly sensitive and insecure.Maybe you're just nervous. Relax.
