Awkward situation

This is just some random thoughts I wanted to share since this board is so slow.  How did that happen?

Someone confessed to a really good friend of mine that he really likes me and and inquired if my son and I were doing alright going through the divorce. My friend says he wanting to wait until after my divorce before he talks with me.

This guy goes to my church so I see him around a lot .  The funny thing is I never had inkling or felt any vibes that he was interested in me.  It almost seems like he purposely not really look at me or something, though I do catch him side glancing at me. I am not even sure if he knows that I know his feelings about me or not.

I wish my friend had not said anything...so awkward.  It's like do I just pretend I don't know anything until he says something or what?  At the same time, I think I would be open to giving him a chance for a date but I am just not quite ready at the moment.  I rather wait until my official date has passed which isn't until the 24th of this month.  Is it silly that this thought makes me nervous?  I can't quite decipher what I am feeling.

(Yes, this guy knows sign language ;))

Re: Awkward situation

  • I think that's really cute. I don't think it's particularly awkward. I'd probably just make a little more effort to say hello to him or strike up a conversation so that he knows you are interested in getting to know him more. 
  • not awkward! if you might be interested, strike up some conversation...especially if you know he is a good guy...are you just nervous? 
  • I think the first post-divorce stuff feels weird, because, well, you're divorced! I'd strike up a conversation and see where things go!
  • aww. yay! i'm excited for you. i agree with pp's, smile, try to talk to him more so he can know you're interested. keep us posted!

     

  • I think you ladies are right, I am nervous.  I am excited to see some movement in my life that shows I am moving on and at the same time I had a mental note that it would be a long time before I go on a date or even be curious about a guy.

    Just knowing that he has seen me around for some time makes me feel flattered with his expressed interest because he at least know some things about me in person. I really never paid too much attention to him before but that is because I was married and then going through a divorce and had my radar completely off.  I get scared of not being accepted for who I am since my ex never did(both exes).  I know I am not the same girl I was before so I have more "tools" going forward.

  • This is very cute of him!

    Definitely find a way to strike up a conversation with him and smile! 

     

    Do you know if he has kids? Maybe you can find a way to talk to him about kids (if he has them)

    Yes, he does have a young son (maybe age 6ish).  I am also finding out that he is very social and active being on a volleyball and baseball team along with playing golf.  It is good to know that he has a busy life himself.

    I will be attending a baseball game in San Francisco in May with several people and heard that he will also be there.  I know that is still a while away but this seems to be good way to see how he is in person with his friends.
