    He asked me, “So I do have the event tomorrow. Ultron on monday sound alright?” I have no idea how to respond correctly. I want to be enthusiastic but not desperate, and I’m hoping whatever I say will necessitate him wanting to talk more. Any ideas?

    I finally messaged him back, and of course got no response. I’m trying to say of course because after I tell him that works for me, there’s not much more to say at the moment. I know we’ll see each other for work this weekend and I know we’ll go on Monday, so I’m trying not to take it too personal or whatever. I’m just going to give him space like he asked. Haha it’s just hard when I’m so paranoid and when I want to talk.

    Just say “It sounds like a plan :)” It is short, sweet, cute, and to the point! So it shows that you are looking forward to it but at the same time it isn’t too enthusiastic!

    I just ended up telling him that sounded good to me and my schedule is open on Monday. No response or anything from him, although like I said, there’s not much to respond to there. I’m just nervous about what to expect from this movie meet-up…

    I honestly think you just need to relax when it comes down to it! You’re going to have a great time as long as you make it that way! Like I said, make that decision within that night to whether or not you want to bring up slowly dating! No rush!

    I know I probably ought to, seeing as he’ll need some time to think about it after I propose it most likely. I wish I could propose it and he’d know instantly he wants to try that, but that seems like getting my hopes up. I guess I’m just really sick of wanting to hug him or kiss him and not being able to, even though we’re practically dating. And I’m sick of being scared to ask him to stay longer or of wanting to text him but being afraid to look to desperate. I just want to be able to act how I want to act without messing things up.

    That’s always the hardest part.. Acting like a robot is what I like to call it.. That is what you are basically doing and it sucks! But as of right now, you have to take it slow 🙁

    I know I do. I don’t even mind being by myself or not talking to him so much, as I know we need a break from each other sometimes and we’ll have time to talk later. I just hate how disingenuous it feels to have to act like someone I’m not just to try and make this work. I’m sure you know what I mean.

    Oh yeah I completely relate.. It isn’t something that I like to do, but it is helpful.. However in the long run, it’s not 🙁

    I don’t know what’s helpful and what’s not in the long run. I’m just trying really hard to play it cool and to not bug him until the point that we go to the movies. And hopefully from there, something more concrete starts to take shape. I’m not feeling overly optimistic, but we both know that’s just kind of how I am 😛

    I know! I just think you need to be more optimistic now!!

    I guess I’m just so far in this situation that I can’t see it from an outside perspective anymore, so I don’t see any of the positives.

    Ours just feel so similar to me. That’s where I’m struggling. Feeling like I’m too optimistic. No offense, obviously, as I so desperately want things to work for you.
