Okay I just met this guy who turns out to be athlete... of course I knew nothing about his status until my best guy friend caught me up. He was a first round pick and is supposed to be a hot shot. So we met and then haven't seen each other since but he makes it a priority to text good morning and call right after practice. We barely see each other because he has a curfew for mini camp but he promises me that when its over he wants to see me ASAP. I haven't really told anybody because its too soon and I don't want negativity and stereotyping involved. He shows that he thinks about me with the calls,texts and Skype dates BUT what if he is doing this to everyone else should I take it seriously and pursue him?

If he is a football draft pick then he will have been very busy with mini camps. However, that should be finished no until the end of July when training camp starts. So he should be able to date you until then. But once training camp starts don't expect to see him until the season ends in December or January.

But, by all means pursue it, just be careful.

You are smitten by your good fortune but I doubt he cares like you do, so respond accordingly, and let him chase you. Then you will know, because no doubt he has others who chase him, or will.

Truth is its much to early to just put all your eggs in his basket. Relax and see what happens and don't get carried away, or be to eager at this time until you know a lot more about his TRUE character. Easy to be attracted to what he does, and not who he is, but don't see texts, and Skype as anything other than a very early starting point to what can develop later, in person.

Thanks its very helpful I just needed an outside opinion. Sometimes you can't go to your friends because they spread negativity of stereotypes BUT I also know me and I can become very smitten quickly no matter who they are. It just so happens this person is an athlete. So yea I don't think that is the main reason as to why I like him because not trying to sound vain but this isn't my first time with this situation as far as meeting an athlete but it is the first time being interested in one. I don't want to seem eager but I do want to show some interest. How do I do that?

I wouldn't say I was smitten because of my good fortune of meeting an athlete. Truth be told this isn't the first time but this is the first time I have been interested. I do have other people I talk to but I guess my real question how do you still show interest without becoming eager.

Continue to keep in contact with him. Ask him about his experiences in camp. Show enthusiasm for what he tells you. Tell him you hearing about his experiences. Get more info about his schedule.
