Help me...
I know it seems that most of my posts lately are centered on Mystery Guy and my Hair Pulling theory, but too damn bad. It's my blog and I will talk about whatever the hell I want to write about. So there.
I need some advice in this situation. We talk all the time. He likes to make fun of me. Today he even put his hand on my arm to stress a point he was making. From where I am sitting, these seem to be signs that he is also interested. Did I mention that he likes to look me directly in the eye? He notices things about me - like the fact that I wear a Yankee pendant on my necklace. (This is not something that is out in the open - I wear it under my shirt and only occasionally does it come out.) Last Friday, a group of people were going to the bar after work. When I talked to him that afternoon at work, he asked if I got the invite and if I was going to go.
So the advice I need is this:
1. Am I reading these signs correctly? Does it seem that he is interested? Or do you think he is just being nice?
2. What kind of signs or signals can I put out that will encourage him to make a move?
3. Do I just ask him out my damn self?
So now I know that like 2 people read this blog, maybe 3. So I need each and every one of you to respnd and give me some advice. Dating has never been a strong suit for me, and unfortunately there is no text book to give me all the answers, so HELP ME!!!

I did read that book - maybe I need a refresher. But you are right. I just need to chill out. If Mystery Guy decides he is interested, he can make a move. But if he's not, he can still be the friend that he is now.

hmmm... I'm no dating guru, but I would just kind of let things keep going the way they are going. I don't think I would ask him out, but I do think he is showing signs of interest... As for something you can do to encourage him, i don't know, but I'll keep thinking.

Okay... he has noticed your Yankees pendant because he was probably looking at your boobs ; )!
In all seriousness, I would kind of let things happen too. Actually, can you hang out with him while you are both tipsy and flirt with him? Then, if it backfires, you can blame it on having too much to drink! I know it is lame, but it is a way to be able to kind of feel things out...

Normally I would agree with you dragonfly but he is not much of a drinker, so that kind of opportunity does not present itself very often.
