He asked what if I met the guy I dream of in XXX country

Asked Jul 26, 2009, 08:54 PM — 19 Answers
I am not an emtional person, and I have always focused on work instead of meeting men. After missing many signals from guys - I was told by my gfs, should I take this as a signal or leave it like I have always done previously? ( it might be a normal question that he asked, I don't want to over analyze it)

Here is the story:

My guy friend asked me this question before I moved abroad for a project ...- what if you met the guy you dream of in XXX country, will you come back? I was a bit surprised when he asked this question, b.c. No other person has ever asked about this.

Why would a guy ask a girl this question?

P.S. Our friendship is pure and we get along very well, always support each other on decision makings, we are always in a very professional way when communicate. He also keeps in touch after I left ( he initiated all conversations by email).

Do you plan on staying in that country or going back?
Keep in touch with him and maybe when you are ready to go back jokingly email that you would love to come back if there were a guy of your dreams that was looking forward to your return or something like that. Then see how he replies back

How do you feel about this guy?

Do you really just see him as a regular friend? Do you think that there is as potential?

Just answer him honestly. He asked a direct question. I don't see any reason to play mind games.

I know when my friend went on a vacation to Greece for 2 weeks I told her "don't go there falling in love with a guy and stay there".

Maybe he meant something by or it maybe he didn't but the only person who knows is him.

He could value your friendship and don't want to lose you as a friend by having the distance between the two of you. Or he could be asking for other reason--aka he likes you more than a friend.

We met at a one-week seminar, he took me out the whole week straight and have been in contacting with me since then. He was very respectful the whole time while we were hanging out, I didn't know if those were dates or not, he was really shy. I assumed he was just enjoying talking to me, which I have been a supporter to his decision makings as well!

I am coming back to the US after a few months, I told him and I answered his question that I just go to XXX country for work, not thinking about meeting someone. He laughed. What does that mean?

Well first of all, are you interested in him? If you are then tell him, that will solve your wondering if he's interested.

It sounds as though this is a genuine mutual friendship, which is nice to have. Maybe you should just ask him sometime if that's what he meant, in as tactful a way as possible.

Don't need to read too much into it. But it sounds like he's happy to hear what you said.

If you are interested in him, just keep talking to him. But wait until you're back in the same town before you commit too much because long distance can be really tough.

But he does not live in the same state as I am in the US. I don't understand why he always initiates all conversations while we don't even live near. He said we get along very well and any man would be happy to spend time with me, I am a great combo etc.

I think he is special and has great potential to be more than a friend! but again he lives far away.

It doesn't matter what he says. That's just how HE feels.

But you still haven't really answered our question. How do YOU feel about him?
