TL: DR; I (F21) had been texting this guy (M21) for a few weeks, as he swiped up on my story. He was sending a few mixed signals on whether or not he was interested, so I decided to ask if he was looking for anything. He told me his last relationship was rough and he needed to find himself, but he thinks I’m really nice and seemed cool and would still love to get to know me more. Does he mean that or was he just being nice and he has zero interest at all?
I (F21) met this guy (M21) while away at college one night and thought he seemed cool and was cute. The plus was he lived near my hometown as well. He was a friend of a friend, so a couple days later I followed his Instagram (he did follow me back).
A few weeks later I posted something about a hockey team and he swiped up on it. From that point on, we kept texting and he kind of hinted at wanting to hangout sometime. For example, we got on the topic of skiing and I said I had never been. He told me he would want to teach me. Then he suggested going for a drive sometime, hinted at wanting to go to a concert with me and said I should stop by sometime when his at home bar is done.
I decided to eventually get his Snapchat and continue our conversations there. But I was going more anxious on the fact I wasn’t sure if he was actually interested in me. I have really bad anxiety, so I overthinking every little thing.
I then got the courage to tell him I thought he was cute and seemed cool and asked if he was interested in anything right now. He told me he wasn’t and that his last relationship was rough, so he needed time to find himself. But he said he thought I was really nice and cool and would still love to get to know me.
As an overthinker, I can’t help but think he was just letting me down nicely and has zero interest. I wanted to come on here to see what others think. Is he actually interested?
