Is he gay, shy, or just not interested in me?

Hope Answers:

Dear Dating Again,

There is Nothing Wrong with Avoiding Intimacy

It sounds as though he wants to take things slowly and not rush the physical aspect of your relationship, which I think is commendable.

Charlie He didn't regret coming over.

Maybe he regrets coming over and spending the night and is now trying to slow things down to a more appropriate level for two people who just met.

It could also be that he is simply not the hugging type. I know plenty of men who do not feel comfortable hugging, for whatever reason. Maybe he was raised in a home where affection was not outwardly shown, or it could be that he has other ways of showing affection, such as giving verbal compliments or simply being close to you and cuddling together. Or maybe he felt awkward ending the date, not sure whether to attempt a kiss. (The end of a date is usually the most awkward part!)

Mr. Sensitive Hoo boy! I remember all to well the angst at the end of a date.

Regardless of his reasons, I wouldn't be too worried yet, as this is only your second date. There are plenty of men out there who are willing to take advantage of women and use them for a physical relationship. I applaud him for having more integrity. Give it some time and be patient, and try to appreciate his respectful attitude!
