Friends after a date?

    Had a date with a guy i work in same building (don't work directly with him - don't see him a lot at work). fancied him for a good bit - got very excited about the date.

    We got on well, had a laugh and enjoyed each others company and had a kiss. He text soon after to say he had a great time but wasn't really feeling it. I more or less feel the same. Really like him but something wasn't quite right. Also, Im just out of something long term so don't really want to get into anything serious.

    My question - I am pretty new to the city and i'm looking to make new friends. I really did enjoy this guys company and we have a couple of similar interests. Thinking about asking him to hang out as friends. What do you think? Does it have the potential to be a little uncomfortable if i suggest it?

    Not weird at all, it was only one date.

    Drop him a message saying exactly that.

    You never know, it could widen a whole new social circle for you.

    Tbh I think you should let friendship grow organically with this guy. If I were him, I'd think you were using that as an excuse to cling on to some chance of romantic involvement.

    Seems like you are both in mutual agreement about this, and seeing as you are both adults and work in the same building it's a healthy response to have.

    I'd tell him what you told us here - that even though you didn't feel it on the date, you really enjoyed his company, and as you are new to the city would he be interested in meeting for a couple of social drinks as friends?

    It's not a bad idea or weird.
