DU Guys - Halp!

[NashVegas]

I'm dealing with a divorced (for one year) father of two who's been sending me all kinds of mixed signals. Oh, and a Southern Gentleman to boot. ie, acts like he wants to be romantic one day, friendly the next. Driving me batty.
Do I:

1. *coughs*

Gee, sure got quiet in here.

2. I vote "Grab him by the nads" but gently and say

"I live you would you like to go out on a date?" or kiss him no mix signals there.

3. "...romantic one day, friendly the next..."

That's how people are. I wonder if he knows that he mood is being interpreted as signals. I assume that by friendly, you mean simply sociable.

5. Sociable But

*highly* sociable, but physically unapproachable, on those days.

4. Where's "Walk away from Confused Guy"? nt

6. I'd Rather Take the Risk

Of falling on my face at this point. Who said he's the only person in the equation with some baggage?

7. Guys usually appreciate it when a woman is blunt

about what she wants. Guys can sometimes very easily miss what a woman thinks is an obvious hint. So, just "grabbing him by the 'nads" is something that will most likely work if he is interested that way.

8. And If He's Not?

I don't even want to think about that.

11. at least you'll know for sure

instead of being filled with doubts

9. divorced one year? not long enough.

it takes about 3 years to get over that mess, and until then they are QUITE ambivalent. i speak from experience... build a friendship, because he is not available emotionally.

but what i would do is ask, just outright ask. not in an offensive way, but just as a conversation. keep that friendship in mind while you're doing it.

good luck!

10. Thanks

I posted the poll last night, and this morning had pretty much resolved to do just what you've said. Whichever way it goes, I'm thinking it'll be a relief. If it doesn't go my way, sure, it'll be a bummer, but it's better than wondering.
