I have a crush on a guy I met online. He has the same interests and we are both artists. I didn't know how to approach him, and to be honest I never approached anyone. But I did comment on his work and he was very nice.
I'm shy and I have no idea of what to say, how to flirt, and all that. So I did the only thing I know, I asked him if I could do a portrait based on his picture. He was flattered and said OK. I really didn't have my hopes up but in the end, he insisted to see my artwork.
I see it's never going to be easy for me unless the guy is seeking me, which rarely happens. But if he was interested he would do the pursuing. It sure is easier to start doing this online, other than in person, but it makes me anxious just the same.
It is hard to say for certain whether he is one hundred percent not interested in you but from the things that you have described it does appear to be leaning towards assessment in that it might have been a polite way of saying thanks but not now.
The reason however might not be because he doesn't find you to his liking it might be the case that since he is a devilishly handsome fellow as you have described that he might be already spoken for. Even if he wasn't and he just wasn't interested in you then let it be his loss.
Do not feel upset at being rejected because the right guy will be out there for you. He might even be closer than you think and it might be someone that you haven't noticed before. I'm sure that you will have to break a few hearts yourself before you find the right person.
Do not be overly concerned about flirting with guys. It serves it's purpose in some situations but in others it can just wind up being misleading and a mess for both parties.
Bottom line: You can bet that when a guy likes you and you give him just one ounce of an indication that you like him back, that he will do all the chasing. Hopefully he will read your signals right and comes over, if not then you might have to throw a ball at his head or something
Anyways, well done for your first effort at the dating game. It took a lot of guts and effort on your part and you did well despite the outcome. For more tips about winning dating game, refer to e-books in the series “ Relationships: Puzzles and Answers ” :
