Going out

Post Reply New Topic

I really don't suggest that you over-think it. Just see how the concert goes.
Just because you're going "out" with him once, doesn't mean you'll next be exchanging wedding vows. Two people can actually be friends without being romantically involved with one another. You both just need to communicate as best as you can, so you know where you both stand.

Honesty and communication is the key. Or so they say.

I find it's actually necessary to have different interests/knowledge to be able to get along with somebody, in the long run. Most of my interests are solitary activities. If I meet anyone who shares them, we can exchange enthusiasm for them - but then what? I find it's best when they have things I could be interested in, but haven't explored yet. Like the Final Fantasy thing, if you got to be friends maybe you could introduce him to that. When that sort of thing happens you have loads of stuff to talk about and relate to, because he'll have questions and be going through the whole experience of getting into it, you can show him tricks and vicariously go through the whole experience of discovering the thing, all over again. To me that's the higher form of sharing interests.

Good point. He also mention he has never sat through an episode of Doctor Who so showing him some of my interest "might" be cool. I'll see how the concert goes and grow from there. I still DON'T want to share e-mail or cell number I'm just not comfortable with doing that. Perhaps keep Facebook chatting and go with that for now.

Wise.
