The cliff at the top of the mountain.

You want the weekend to get here because you need it? Need what? Or should that be obvious? Ive needed "it" for a year or so now. . I swear, finding a FWB gets more and more appealing all the time.

I struggle with not being too critical yet not overlooking what is otherwise obvious. You nay be doing the same. E guy may well be trying too hard or is just excited that he thinks he may have found someone. Or he may just really be interested. It's just so hard to tell until meeting - at least it is for me.

As for the flirting, I'd have to know what he's saying to judge for sure. One guys flirting is another woman's creepy. I will say this, he may be awkwardly trying to flirt with you to make sure or try to make sure he's not friend zoned. That really could be all it is. See what he does in person. If he does no flirting you (or any date) thinks he may have no interest or may get friend zoned. If he does too much or the wrong type he's coming in too strong. It really can be a tight room walk.

All these are reasons to stay off the phone too much until meeting. It really seems like that is very often the case. Just better off cutting to the meet - even a casual meet.

And I'll close with this likely confusing piece of advice... Trust your gut. You seem to have a very good sense. Just don't overthink it and cut him or anyone off too fast as you may then pass by some otherwise good guys. Clear as mud, right? Trust your gut but give them a chance. Balance those two and you'll do well.
