So, after I called the BMB Monday, he never called me back. I saw him Tuesday when I was grabbing to-go coffee, and he apologized for not calling back, saying he'd worked late at a private party of some friends' of his (which, I later recalled, I had found out that he was doing when I met them last week) and was going to be doing that again last night.

I still can't determine if he's trying to blow me off, or if he's trying not to. So, for the most part, I have resolved to give up the pursuit at this point.

Here's the thing though. A couple of people have said, "Maybe it's too much to hang out just by yourselves and you should invite him out with friends." I'm not so sure about that. But, a few of us are probably going out later tonight.

So here's a poll:
[Poll #650858]

Note: If I go for any of the options involving inviting him, this will be the last time I'm making a move if there's not a positive response. Period and end of story.

A couple of people have said, "Maybe it's too much to hang out just by yourselves and you should invite him out with friends."

Unless you're going for the jailbait, I don't think he's in high school...I mean, surely he's old & mature enough to be able to handle a one-on-one date by now?

I voted just go out with friends, but I think it'd be OK to do the text-message thing one last try if you want. It's quick, easy, and leaves the door open for him. And you've not put yourself out there so far to feel like crap if he doesn't reply back.

That was exactly my line of thinking. And those two options are neck and neck right now, so that might be the deciding factor.

I agree on the maturity factor. This guy doesn't strike me as shy in the least, so I don't think that's what's going on here. Plus, while I get that my friend was saying "That'll make it more casual and less date like" my thoughts immediately went to my own weird quirks of "Oh no! I'll have to make sure everyone is getting along then!" Not to mention that if someone asked me to something like that I *would* be the person who would feel intimidated by a larger group of people I didn't know.
