We’ve all been out with somebody that we liked and wondered if it was considered a date or a just friends hanging out. Ambiguous invitations like “Want to get some coffee?” or “Going to happy hour?” can leave you grasping for clarity but afraid to ask. Some people call these “almost dates” — those in-between meetings that seem romantic, but you just can’t tell. This can be torture if you really like someone. But don’t fret! Look for the following eight clues that you’re on a REAL date — and not an “almost date.” If you can’t check off a few of these items, it’s not the real thing
1. He offers to pay
Men don’t open their wallets for just anyone. If he’s willing to shell out some of his hard earned money then he thinks you’re worth it. Granted, it’s not the only way a man can show that he cares but it is one way. Take note, and most importantly be appreciative. If not, he might think you are just friends.
2. He’s very attentive
This one is very important. Men show their interest by paying attention to you. If he’s giving you eye contact and NOT on his phone then he’s interested. His attention shows that his emails can wait, and for that moment you’re more important. That’s the kind of guy you want to be around. If he is texting and scanning the room, it’s not that serious to him.
3. He blushes or gets embarrassed
In order to be embarrassed you have to care about what the other person thinks about you. It’s as simple as that. If he’s worrying about stuttering or saying something stupid then he cares. If he is a bit TOO relaxed, it’s not a date to him, even if it might be one to you.
