Brief recap - 34 year old guy, meets me for drinks, grand time, parking lot smooching. Then nothing for almost a week - then online chat in which he is very very flirtatious, and I remind him that if he wants to do anything about that he has to ask me out on a date - then nothing.
I sent him a very brief email last Friday - just a comment on the excellent surf conditions outside the office where I sub on Fridays.
No response until today:
"Hi Ellie,
Wanna run off somewhere...away from work? hehe. I got some surfing in this morning, but I've been beat. Speaking of beat...any gigs coming up for little miss drummer?"
No, I haven't responded - I'll let him wait a day or so. But how do you all read this (guys especially)?
A)Is this a very oblique way of saying I've been buried in work and that's why I haven't contacted you?
B)Or simply touching base to keep Plan B in his back pocket?
C)Or a guy who is in sloooooooowww motion when it comes to dating?
D)Or just a guy who is ambivalent about the age difference but can't resist contacting me?
E)Or just a polite response from a guy who really isn't interested?
I have my own impression, but I'd be interested to see a vote.
