so hungout with hirshhorn again. got in touch with him and invited him to watch a movie at a friends place.
wait.
that sounds awkward. let me explain.
my friend lives in his neighborhood. he has a projector. we watch movies in his backyard and he projects the movie on to the fence. and we sit outside, have some beers and watch movies like the goonies or red dawn or point break etc. its fun. so i figured he should join. let him get to know me better and know some of my friends to know i hang with good people.
he came. we had fun. had some beers. some good laughs. walk him home. HUG AGAIN. but still whatever. we were on 16th in mt pleasant.
anywho. see him again the next night at a concert at 930 club with the mutual friends we know. big hug. directs conversation at me. really good short conversation.
then i go to lunch this week with our mutual friend he's known for like 17 years. ya know. the one i met "online"...anywho.
having lunch. im like, 'so i have a crush on hirshhorn.'
online: 'yeah, he's a really good guy.'
topic of conversation changes. 5 minutes later.
me: 'so back to self interest time...'
online: 'what?'
me: 'yeah, so if i were to pursue hirshhorn, give me tips'
online: ::weird faces:: then talks about how the last guy he dated he never would have guessed they would have dated, it was odd, blah blah. 'but i could see the two of you together. he likes his down time. introverted. good guy'
me: ::thinks to self, wow, youve know him 17 years and this is ALL you are giving me?!:: 'ummm so is he the pursuer or the pursued?'
online: 'well hes an introvert so he likely wont make the first move'
which therein lies the problem. ive already made a first move. i wasnt rejected. but how do i make a second move without being too much? like wtf. so now i have to pursue, which i can do, i just dont know how to read people in dating usually until its too late.
so im sending him an email today to see if he wants to teach me world of warcraft techniques or he can show me how to make a hungarian dish of food or something else low key (those are all things he likes, im trying to bring this back to him...i hope thats the right strategy)...
so yeah. fingers crossed.
