I met a guy whom I get along with really well. We hung out together a few time, both in a group and separately, and I began to get the feeling he was interested. A friend of his at University noticed, mentioned how I’d told her how much I liked him, and asked if we were seeing each other. He replied that he’d suspected I was interested in him and that, “He’d never really thought about asking me out, but there was nothing going on right now.”
She mentioned this to me and I assumed, being that he seemed so nonchalant about it, that he wasn’t interested. I proceeded to just forget about it and move on. However, he continued to flirt with me. If we are in a group, he’ll always end up near me or deciding to do whatever I’m doing. I never really considered it anything beyond flirtation until recently, at a holiday party, where I found myself standing under some mistletoe. A friend joked that someone should kiss me, and to my utter surprise, he shrugged, said “I’ll do it.”, and then walked across the room and kissed me.
It was very surprising to me (and everyone else at the party), as he is very reserved, has never seriously dated anyone, and is usually the first one to leave the room if anyone suggests a game like Spin the Bottle or whatnot.
We have never talked about it in the days since, as he has seemed somewhat distanced, and I would rather not bring it up if he’s not interested.
I would just like to know if it seems more that he just wants to be friends, or possibly has some interest? His behavior puzzles me…
