Mixed signals

One of the wonderful things about living in a house of girls is getting to hear all of their dating stories. Both good and bad. And I know you guys tend to appreciate these stories too.

Now not to make this sound like a man-hating kind of blog. But seriously, what is with all of the mixed signals you guys give us? I thought men were meant to be the ones who gave straight forward responses? That is basically the whole concept of 'he's just not that into you'.

Maybe I am overlooking something. But my roommate came home today after going out for drinks with a guy and we are both completely confused as to how it went!

Maybe if you are a guy and reading this you can shed some light.

SO.

They had been talking online for over a week and he asked her to go out and have drinks. The date started at 4. Which was okay because it is a week-day and he has work tomorrow. So I drop my roommate off and two hours later she comes home. Like. Two hours on the dot.

I was not expecting her home so soon!

My immediate reaction was to ask what happened.

Apparently nothing? The conversation was good. They had quite a few things in common. He was driving so didn't drink. Which makes the whole 'lets go for drinks' thing a bit silly. Then randomly he was like, "do you want to go for a walk?". They went for a short walk then he drove her home!

So my gut reaction to this was that maybe he didn't feel any connection? I said to her "you know it's probably nothing you did. Maybe there just wasn't anything there". We can't all be a perfect fit with each other. He's just not that into you.

But then he messaged her to say he had a good time!
And then messaged asking for her phone number?!

Say waaaaaaahhhh?

Why would he want to be home at 6 if he was having a good time? Why would he cut it so short!?

I said maybe he had diarrhoea and had to get home. hehe ;)

What do you think?
