No, He Really is That into You
You think it is just a casual drink, he thinks it is more. Here’s what to look out for.
Before ‘the date’
It wasn’t a mutual decision to catch up, he asked you out for ‘drinks’. In a man’s mind this means, ‘we are going to drink, but if you laugh at enough of m jokes then I’m going to make a tragic lunge come closing time.’ Men want to look after women they fancy, so he will have booked a table or hunted for a decent new bar. Before the drink, he ends each text with a new question to keep the banter going. And if you’re newly single, this is definitely a date.
During ‘the date’
He listens too intently he nods over-enthusiastically, even when you’re describing the pashmina you bought your mother yesterday. “Brilliant! Amazing.” If he took the piss out of you in the office, he isn’t now. he has sat you in a booth and makes a show of leaning in when you speak, even though there is no need. He buys lots of drinks and always fills your glass. His laugh seems odd, self-conscious, as if executed by a model in a Gillette ad.
After ‘the date’
He insisted on ‘putting you’ into a taxi to showcase his gentlemanly skills. His goodnight kiss was a little too close to your mouth and you get an unnecessary, perky text the next afternoon.
The upshot
Men don’t go out for drinks with women for friendship. They already have mates.
