I'm slight confused by my most recent interaction with James. Last Sunday (two days after we hooked up), James and I went to dinner. Let me back up and explain how this dinner came about. Sunday afternoon I was doing some Christmas shopping at the mall near James's place. I sent him a text message saying that I was doing some shopping near his place and I wanted to see if he would like to grab something to eat. After an exchange of text messages, we met at Fridays a few hours later. While waiting for our waitress, we chatted about the rest of our weekend and our holiday plans. Before we ordered I asked James what he was thinking of getting. He said he wasn't hungry since he ate at 4 (it was now 6:30), so he was just going to get an appetizer. If he wasn't hungry, why did he agree to join me for dinner? Our conversation the rest of the evening was very first date-esq. We talked about family, friends, work, sports... very casual. We finished our meal and the waitress asked if we were together for separate. James didn't respond. In a panic, I said separate. I wasn't going to say together because I wasn't sure if we were, in fact, together. I didn't NEED him to pay for my dinner, I can pay for my own chicken sandwich.
Anyway back to my story... we left the restaurant, walked to our cars and began to part ways. I fumbled around my extremely large purse searching for my keys. During the fumble (sidebar: I knew exactly where my keys were), he said if I wasn't doing anything tonight that I could come over. I said yes. I followed him back to his place to watch a movie.
Well, a movie turned into three movies and me spending the night (no cookies). During the movies, we talked a little. He asked me how I felt about the other night and wanted to make sure we were ok. I said, would I have texted you today if we weren't? I should have asked, but I didn't, why he responded to my text if he wasn't hungry. We also had the "we work together" talk and both agreed our co-workers (especially those who like to gossip) don't need to know anything. I left the next morning and said see you at work...which I did. I texted him on Tuesday before I felt town, wishing him safe travels and a happy holiday. He responded, thanks. You too.
My question still remains, was Sunday a date? Does he like me? Was it just a one/two night thing? I know I'm asking lots of questions but I'm not looking to put my heart in this if he is just looking for friends with benefits. If you recall, I just got rid of one of those. What are your thoughts?
