I wouldn't ask again. You asked, he declined. He should be the one to bring it up again. You put yourself out there already. He should man up and ask you next time. If he doesn't, back off a bit. The hugs mean he wants to be around you, but you shouldn't put yourself out everytime. He should reciprocate. bim


Relationships need to be balanced. It is like a game of ping-pong. You hit the ball to him. His turn to hit it back.


This is a good read:
Policy of Mutual Agreement

You made a suggestion for dinner. He agreed. You suggested the day. That day does not work for him, it is HIS responsibility to make the next suggestion. It is then your responsibility to accept, or make a NEW suggestion.

Understand?
