[quote=Anonymous]I met someone that I really like, which for me just doesn't happen that often! We have lots in common, similar relationships with our families, etc. We met through mutual friends, who told me that he was interested in me. Things seemed to be starting out kinda slow between us because we were to both be in our mutual friends wedding and the bride basically forbid us to make it "weird"!

Anyway as time went on it was clear that we both liked each other and he and my friend, the bride to be, had a heart to heart where he stated that he wasn't just interested in hooking up with me but wanted to date me. After that I took some initiative and asked him to a football game. It was fun, totally didn't catch on to the fact that he doesn't like sports (he wore a jersey and had done research!) Once I found out from his friend that this was way outta character for him, I thought it was sweet that he made the effort. I was kinda hoping he would feel comfortable enough asking me out after that but it didn't happen. Then I was holding out hope that he was just waiting till after the wedding to make a move, well that was also a bust. He left early before the reception ended, blaming it on his roommate- who was avoiding a drunken bridesmaid that was all over him. In the discussion we had before he left, he mentioned something about how he and his roommate were similar, in that if a girl they liked held a gun to their head they still wouldn't make a move.

I felt like he was basically trying to tell me that he is never going to pursue me, and felt a little dejected. He wrote me a couple days later- talking about how is roommate was kicking himself all night over the girl who was all over him and that he (the guy I like) and I should play matchmaker. So here is where I go back and forth, I too am shy and it is hard to breakout of your comfort zone and risk rejection, so I get that... but I also think I deserve to have someone pursue me, not just tell my friends he likes me!! I guess I am just disappointed that this thing didn't turn out to be anything, I know in the end if it was meant to be it would have happened by now, right? Or should I try harder based on the possibility he is still interested but doesn't know how to move forward?

Sorry if this post was confusing, I don't feel comfortable confiding these feelings I have with our mutual friends at the moment and feel like maybe I need some perspective that I am not seeing about this...
