So I went on this date with a guy I met online, and I have to say it was one of the most awkward things I went on. As soon as we met, the guy asked me if I was a surfer, and I said no, that I wouldn't call myself one. I surfed when I go to Hawaii to see my uncle, and that I wont do it here because the water is crazy cold. It really didn't seem to be that big of a deal, and I don't make it out to be a surfer on the site that I met this guy or anything like that. We still talked, me asking most (all) of the questions, and I got one-word responses from him, which made me think that he was either uninterested, or really shy and awkward, because he is an engineer. I have some engineer friends and my step-father is one, so I know how some are. After a while, I just ask him if he was shy. He said no, asked why, and I mentioned that he really doesn't ask me any questions or go into too much details. He said it was because I asked too many questions. So I paused for a bit, and the first thing he asks was "So your really not a surfer?" I told him no, and asked if it was really that big of a deal, and he started laughing. We talked for a bit and then there was another pause, so I sort of broke the ice and said that he has me scared to ask questions now. He laughed again, and said that he should probably get going. We got the bill, I was gonna pay with my card and he just gave me cash, so I told him he could leave if he wanted too (as when I want to get out of a bad date, I try to get away ASAP.) He said that he would stay. On the way out, he gave me a hug and I told him it was nice to meet him.
I usually would think someone like this was uninterested, however he did seem to be very shy and socially inept, like failed to make eye contact and so forth. I mean he made me feel really awkward just being there, and I tend to be very friendly and outgoing. Its hard to do that, so props to him I guess but it also kinda confused me. After debriefing with my friend, we concluded that he was awkward, introverted, and possibly uninterested but not really sure. Hence why I am consulting the great board of RealJock.
Any advice guys? Im sorta leaning to the send him a funny message and if he is introverted he would reply, and if he was uninterested he wouldnt.
