Theres a guy, Curt, whom Im friends with. Obviously I like him more than a friend, but Im perfectly content being 'just friends' even tho it does kinda suck lol. We've hung out alot for drinks, dinner/lunch, haunted hayride, mini golfing, bowling, he came down with me and spent the weekend with my friends at a hotel so obviously he enjoys me enough to be friends. What I dont get is, how come HE never invites ME out? Ive been the one to invite him everywhere since day one, he has never invited me out for whatever. Yah, I dont know his friends, but its not exactly like he knows all of mine either. Its not like I expect him to invite me everywhere, but itd be nice if every once in a while he asked me out for drinks and whatnot - strictly platonic. ALSO, is there anything else we can talk about besides work? We had lunch today and ugh I probably wouldve talked more had I been by myself :lol:. We'll talk about something for a few then its akward silence and Im scrambling around in my brain trying to think of something to talk about. I always feel like I repeat myself with the things I tell him, but uggghh I just never know what to say. Is there something Im doing wrong? Should I bring up to him the fact that he never invites me out?

dont make me post the picture

If he's anything like me, he wouldn't take the initiative himself to ask you. Simply because he doesn't think about it.

It's incredible what I don't think about doing! Simply because it doesn't occur to me.

I don't know that it's necessarily a reflection on your relationship...

And as for what to talk about besides work... I really can't think of anything... as work tends to be my life. I am a work-a-holic at work and a hermit at home.

Eh!

Maybe he is shy? I think you did everything you could.

I dunno, I mean if he gets talking hes fine. But ones the conversation ends its hard to think of what else to say. Ive talked to him over the phone a couple times and its so much easier.. we seem to just ramble. But once we're in a sit down setting or whatever its like.. UGH.

Well, I dont think he likes me 'like that' anyways, which is fine. But I know that he calls his other friends and he goes out with them all the time, which I dont get. Mostly he calls his guy friends, but still. I dunno, I cant figure it out! :crazy:

Maybe he's gay?

Maybe you should bring up more exciting topics. Find out his interests and learn something about them, then you'll be able to talk to them better. I mean, since you two slept together, I'm sure you could talk about more than work. :o

LOl... you make it sound as if we had sex!!! For the record everyone, we did NOT - it was not sexual in ANY way, believe me.

Well I know he likes to hunt, snow mobile, etc, so I do bring up those things sometimes, but like I said, after a few minutes it kinda dies out then we're just sitting there.

My question is.. should I bring up to him the fact that he never invites me anywhere and/or calls me first?

Tell him. Like, sarcastically. When you're talking to him or whatnot, be like "How come I always have to make all the plans, am I your bitch or something?" Like something funny that won't make you seem like you're mad at him, yet will give him the hint.

*SLAP*

Hmm that could work. Ill ask some people at work.

I agree, bring it up in a fun, lighthearted way. If you're really having to force things though, try to move on (I know, easier said than done... I've been there).

looks like you don't need Curt anymore. I have successfully hooked up Crystal with another man. their first date is on the 31st.

if anyone else needs some matchmaking, let me know. Crystal will let you know about my good credentials.

Thanks. I worked with him Thursday nite and everything seemed to be fine.. more talkative, etc. It seems tho whenever we go out to eat or something like that is when it gets dull.

That's good... at least he's being a little more chatty. I wish guys were more consistent... people say that girls are the ones that are all flaky, send out mixed messages, etc., but guys totally do it too. I've pretty much given up on the idea of ever realllly figuring guys out.... :rolleyes:

UGH I KNOW!! He is SO inconsistent!! :mad: :crazy:

Yeaaah, I know just what you mean. Mixed signals suck... I think I need a guy manual. Or maybe guys just need to start actually being consistent. Either way. :)
