Met a cute, fun guy at a party. He was very friendly and we really seemed to like each other. At the end of the conversation I suggested meeting up again and he agreed. He said something like it's rare to find someone that you actually want to talk to again.
I asked for his email but he said he never checked it and asked for my number instead. We texted a couple times, and he called me "brother" a couple times - affectionate, but not sure if that means he's straight and just wants to be friends.
I asked a few days after that first meeting if he wanted to get drinks on a particular day and time and he said he had a work commitment around then but might be able to make it - could he let me know that day? I said sure.
Not sure where to take this from here assuming we meet.
Would a guy you met at a party who asked you out for a drink strike you as someone hitting on you?
I think there's a good chance he's straight and just sees this as friendly, but I also think there's some chance he's gay and/or bi / curious. I'm just not sure. I would definitely want to be friends if that's all he was interested in, but obviously I'd prefer more.
How do I play it if we do go out? Do I steer the discussion to girlfriends / boyfriends, or tell him I'm gay? Or do I just talk to him as if he were just anyone I was trying to be friends with?
I do not want to force him to label himself if he might potentially be bi-curious or experimental but unwilling to call himself "gay."
How do I show him that I'm interested in more than friendship and make him feel welcome to go further if he's up for it without being creepy if he isn't?
Advice MUCH appreciated.
