Last night I went out with Joe again.
Originally Jon was supposed to come into my work to make plans with me, we decided this Wednesday. Once I established Joe was a babe, I decided I much rather hang out with him Saturday night and together we came up with a bullshit excuse to tell Jon.
So Saturday night rolls around and Jon never even shows up at my work. So I'm thinking this gives me a perfect excuse to cut all emotion off with him- plus I didn't have to lie to get out of hanging out. I run home, tell my mom where I'm off to and she asks about Jon- right as I'm telling her the whole shpiel, Jon calls.
Jon: yo, what up?
ETP: not a lot, you?
Jon: oh man, I'm really sorry that I didn't come visit you tonight. I got backed up at work and ended staying way late. What are you doing tonight?
ETP: Oh well, because you never showed up I made other plans. (a bit manipulative, no?)
Jon: Ughhh, I'm so sorry. What are your plans?
ETP: (slightly annoyed) welll, I'm going to see a movie with a friend.
Person in background of Jon's current location: YO WE GON' HAVE A PARTYYY!
Jon: Yeahh so maybe if you wanna show up with your girlfriend or whatever you can.
ETP: uh, maybe. I'll call you if I'm up to it.
He actually sounded really stoned on the phone. I've decided I'm not nearly as interested in Jon as I am in Joe so I think I made the right choice in blowing off Jon.
Joe picks me up, meets mom (She highly approved of him "oh hes just so cute and friendly"- this makes things so much easier. She's a real pain in the ass if she doesn't like who I'm dating) and then we're on our merry way.
We go to the movies and decide the only acceptable thing to see is Beowulf in 3D, but it didn't start until 10:10 so we went over to get pizza in the meantime.
He paid for both my food and my ticket. The movie was okay and afterwards he brought me home. He said he had a great time, how he wanted to talk to me later on, and I said "Thanks for the great night!" I get out of the car and walk inside. Yes, folks. That was it.
Pizza. Beowulf. Thanks for the great night.
And the blue balls, asshole.
I looked so cute too. I mean really.
No hug, no nothing.
Now all of you have to think in an 18 year old boy's mindset.
I've gotten mixed reviews- some say he could just be shy/nervous, some say he could just think of me as a friend.
We have such great conversation! We laugh and have so much in common. I'm so attracted to him too.
I need an objective point of view here people so give me some damn feedback.
Also- I was nominated for "Most Pessimistic" and "Most Sarcastic" for superlatives. I was flattered.

Definitely, definitely the shy card. If he is anything like I was at 18, he's probably still insecure and extremely nervous.
But no hug? That's rookie!
He's interested. You're good-looking.
I'm with so@24. He's nervous about making the first move. Get him drunk.
So@24- maybe he just didn't want to do the awkward reach-over car hug thing. I don't really like them myself, but in some cases they're a bit necessary.
Doctor- haha I'm two steps ahead of you, we're going to a party next weekend=) and thank you!
OK, first off, you don't have balls, so they ain't blue.
More importantly, he definitely likes you. No guy is gonna pay for a girl's dinner and movie ticket if he just wants to be friends.
As for the no action bit, it was a first date. He could actually be one of those genuinely good guys whose not just lookin' to get in your pants. Maybe he did want to go further, but didn't know if you'd be receptive. Give it time, I think you might have a good catch here.
At 18, no boy knows what to do. Give it 3 dates. If he doesn't make a move in 3 dates, you're in the friend zone. And hell, even if you're in the friend zone, it won't matter -- most guys will still diddle with their girl friends.
No matter what, good luck.
Mortar- I meant figuratively!
Charming- our 3rd "date" could quite possibly be a party this weekend...does this count? There are a couple problems with this one- if we're both drunk, how the hell am I getting safely home? if we're not drunk, will we still have a good time? and finally, should our first kiss be induced by alcohol? I don't really see why not, but some might think it's a bad idea.
He probably just likes you and does not want to blow it. Not everyone is aggressive as me, but that is a good thing probably.
Though he could be gay. Eighteen yar old boys don't pay for pizza and movie for theid buddies.
So how does that make him gay? I'm taking Charming's and Mort's advice. Three dates= friend territory. In order to avoid friend territory make a subtle move. Does McDonalds count as a date? I'm not really sure. he paid! BUT it didn't last very long and it was the first time we met.
Because if he paid then he is not a friend. He might be a gay go who 'dates' girls, though.
I doubt it. I think he just hasn't thought you were ready for a move. Did you try leaning against him in the movie or anything?
well I guess we were close together but I dont know what the hell to do! He is so not touchy that it makes me be not touchy. Nah mean? I'll see him soon enough and then post more updates.
I think you're on the right track. At 18, he probably likes you enough that he didn't want to scare you off on the first date. After 2-3, if you're still not seeing more than a cya later, give it up and move on...
Good luck!
