    Hi all,

    Would be grateful for some advice on this, even though i think the answer is prob pretty clear...however, let me explain... its a bit long winded so apologies

    I know a guy for a while, hes a good friend of a good friend of mine, i wouldn't know him that well, but any time we meet we get on well.

    Anyhow, i have always thought that this guy was extremely good looking but never had any designs on him as i always felt he was well out of my league.

    We were at a NYE party monday night, and got chatting as we usually do. I was up at the bar a while later and he came up to me again and offered to buy me a drink, we got chatting and ended up kissing(he initiated). I had to pinch myself after it happened, was completely STUNNED! Anyway, we spent the rest of the time at the party together and had a great time, but i never took his number, nor did he ask for mine.

    I was working new yrs day, but met up with a few of the same crowd on the night of new years day.(And i was reliably informed that he had been very smiley all day and in great form after NYE) He happened to be there, and again was all about me, and again kissed me(again he initiated), in front of all the gang. We spent the rest of the time in the late bar together, and again had a great night. We have a lot in common and a lot of the same, unusual, interests so lots to talk about! Anyway it was a very good night and he ended up back at mine.

    He spent the night with me, perhaps a little bit too soon for sex, but my animal instinct got the better of me ( i broke up with guy in August, v.messy, and he first guy iv been with 4 da record!) and we seemed to click so well it seemed like the right thing to do.

    He stayed til late wed afternoon, we spent most of the day drinkin tea and having a laugh, it really was very relaxed and very easy. He seemed very happy to be in my company, and i was happy to have him in mine..

    I dropped him home on my way to work. Now at this stage his fone was dead, but, he said he had a great night, kissed me, and said he "was sure he'd see me round at some stage".

    He then got out of the car and walked to his door, and waited to wave me off, smiling as he did so....

    Should i have asked for his number? Does him not asking for mine mean hes not interested? I say yes, friends say no! Does he think cos i didnt ask for his im not interested?

    My friend wants to give him my number but i wont let her, cos im afraid hes not interested. Hes a gorgeous looking guy and part of me cannot see why he would be interested in me, im not like the back of a bus, but at the the sme time, this man could have any woman!

    So what to do? Should i just leave it and see what if anything happens? Was it just new year fever? Was it just drink? Tho we weren't that drunk? Was it just sex? Should I just forget about it?

    I know this all seems very childish,but iv been thinking about it a lot since so id be grateful for any advice nonetheless. Im in my late 20s...

    Being in your late 20's I can't believe that you are serious. However, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt, if you are a troll or not.

    Serious replies only please folks, if you think that this is a troll - do not respond by stating that this is a troll.

    Either get his number from someone or wait until you see him out next time. I'm astounded that you didn't exchange phone numbers tbh.

    Same here! Im gob smacked. Funny reading that story is very VERY like a situation a friend of mine was in, except it was Stephens and not New Years. I slapped him round the place for a bit telling him to "get her number you gob****e" He made an effort to be at same place as the mutual friend and her the night after that and got her number and its all good now. :)

    lostcause I don't condone slapping women, but am I going to have to :p
    As I said make an effort to be out in same place as he is sooner rather than later nd get his number

    As already said get out when he's out and presuming he comes over to you again for the usual chat and what not, GET HIS NUMBER!

    Im not a troll as it happens. I did state at the end of the original post that the whole thing may have seemed childish, but its been on my mind and I just wanted some unbiased opinion, thats why I posted here. I've never been in a such a stupid situation like this before, and I dont know what to do.

    Id such a bad experience with last boyf, this is first guy Ive been with since, and i think perhaps my friends are nearly too eager about it because of that fact, thats why some anonymous opinion might be welcome!

    I should have gotten his number. i know that, but the timing just didnt seem right, or maybe I was too overwhelmed by the whole thing.. I dont know.

    I will encounter him again tho. Thanks for the advice so far.. anymore is gratefully appreciated....
