Nah it’s real. Lives too short to do this whole do they don’t they will they won’t they thing? People worry about the small things way too much. How long have you been on delivered? How long do you wait to text back? Did they view my story? Just be straight up. Hey I really like you and I’d love to have a dinner and drinks with an optional movie night if we are feeling it. Being direct is attractive
Well he approached you at a bar, so he was initially attracted to you to some degree clearly. It’s only been a week. And these hints he’s giving might be be different in his eyes. In any case, ask him out on an actual date. If he’s into you, he’ll love it. If he’s not, then you’ll be able to move on before you get further invested. Win win for both you guys
Being honest, direct, and confident is an attractive quality, and confidence really is one of those things you can fake into being real. The only one that doesn’t know you’re confident is you. Just saying hey I’m really interested in you and getting to know you more, could I take you out on a date? If they say no they’ll be flattered and you’ll have your answer. No ambiguity.
