how do you know if a guy is keen, or just tagging you along?

Mercury · 19-12-2002 5:08pm

Because he's a guy. Anything with a Y-chromosome is keen....

Kell · 19-12-2002 5:17pm

What has he done to date? Kissed you, dopped the hand, had full on sex? Give us some pointers here.

sutty · 19-12-2002 5:20pm

Has he been flirting with you? anything that has given you the thought that he may want to be with you? But as said above.. we'er almost always "keen"

LegacyUser · 19-12-2002 5:21pm

kissed, cuddled, talked, then not talked, talked, kissed, dropped hand, not in the order and i could go on for days, bore you to tears. Time period of around seven-ish months.

sutty · 19-12-2002 5:29pm

/me bangs head off wall...

7 months?!?!!?!?!?

yeah I think he's just a tad keen there

Short of opening a small shrine in your honour, how many more 'hints' would you like the poor guy to drop. Poor lad must be at the end of his tether at this stage... I reckon it's a pretty safe bet that he's keen, in fact after 7+ months, keen is probably an understatement.

Offy · 19-12-2002 5:38pm

After that lenght of time he's keen, if he wasent he would be history.

Beruthiel · 19-12-2002 6:06pm

I find asking straight out usually clears things up nicely....

Kell · 19-12-2002 6:10pm

Well if you have seen him over a period that length, then I concur with the other posters that yes he is keen. Make it full blown and ask him what he wants, then go for the hot full on sex and be sure to tell us about it.

Lafortezza · 19-12-2002 6:32pm

sounds to me as if he's keeping his options open, ie he likes spending time with you, and all the kissing, dropping of hands etc he enjoys, but he's probably not enough of a bastard to see you for sex only,
and he's enough of a bastard not to ask you out proper bfriend-gfriend style,

What do you want from him? Tell him and find out what he wants, then make your decision, you wouldn't have posted here is you were happy, so pin him down and find out, good luck

PS I could be wrong, give more details of the situation if you can

Something · 19-12-2002 6:39pm

yup, he either loves you or he's gay.

Sangre · 19-12-2002 6:49pm

Hmmm is he keen or not?
Is he awake?

Seems to me after 7 months he might be wondering the same thing about you. Have you been dropping enough hints for him to go further (NO NOT THAT)....

Plus there is always the straight out question but nobody likes them

Ah, my kind of woman.

Do what Beruthiel said - just ask.

logic1 · 20-12-2002 12:48pm

I'm pretty keen.

I definitely reckon that guy is keen. Have you been texting each other much? Whatever you do, dont let this slip if you dont want it to. If you leave it too long before anything happens, then he will think you have lost interest and look elsewhere. He is probably thinking the very same thing you are now, wondering are you keen on him. Send him a text or ring him and ask him out for a drink/find out if he is going out and where, and arrange to meet up. That will let him know for sure.

If he isnt texting you much, then he is probably playing it cool. Hundreds of guys do that, so they wont seem too keen and blow their chances. Good luck anyway, I think you will do fine.

You've never complained*!

Statement may be totally untrue. If facts be known she always complains.

What is this "dropping of hands"? Are people fumblers here?

I hear that even in Ireland women are now asking men out. It's a two way street.

Durden · 22-12-2002 12:49am

(note this is the opinion of a guy who goes through emotions sometimes faster than he changes underwear)

If he's still hanging around after 7 months of vaugeness he's more than bloody keen, he's probably in love. Hang on to this guy, he cares.

Clintons Cat · 23-12-2002 2:33am

some blokes like to keep a number of females on the back burner,
for months or even years,why do they do it?
well probally for the ego boost or the security of a safety blanket without the responsibility of commitment.
I wouldnt read to much into his affections and if something better for you comes along whilst he is fafing about well go for it.
whats sauce for the goose...

Lump · 23-12-2002 2:54am

Unless you've uttered the hated words of "You're a really good friend" then I think you'll find that, if he has a pulse, then he'll be interested. He's probably gaggin to ask you ouy, but is worried that you are in the dreaded "Friend Zone". Make it clear that you are no-where near the zone.
