Met this guy in one of my college classes when we had to get into groups of 2 or 3. I was going to work with this other guy and then this guy decides to join us. So we’ll like cool scoot your desk over here.

So all semester we talked, and I personally began to think he likes me. He started to walk with me out of class,even though I go the opposite direction as him. He would hug me and he casually asked if I was single which I am. When I changed things up and went the way he usually goes because I needed to buy some scantrons from the bookstore he waited for me while I stood in line and afterwards asked me if I wanted to get food with him since I was just gonna head home. So I had lunch with him.

Anyways! Last week I brought my laptop to class with me and he called me out for working on an essay last minute which I wasn’t. I told him I’m taking this jazz class and had to do three live performance reviews and have to do one more. I was working on my second one! After asking me what you do at a jazz club/ bar, and I said buy drinks and food, he said he’s “always” wanted to know what one of those places are like. He asked if I’d mind if he went with me to the last one. I told him if he wants to, sure. So he told me I better text him and that he’ll be disappointed if he finds out I went alone. So then all class I was thinking if I went with him, would it be a date? Was this just an easy way for him to ask me out? Like he’s willing to take like an hour long subway ride to go to a jazz bar with me??

So. Now why I’m hesitant to text him. One. I just feel like finding a video online to review and say that I went to that instead of going to a bar to listen to live music. It’s the last week of the semester and I’m tired af. Two. I found out a couple months ago that he’s 28. I’m 21 so that’s a huge age gap for me. I didn’t know his age until I looked him up in social media. And I don’t know if I’d be interested in a possible relationship with him because of that so I don’t want to send him the wrong message by gong with him. After all, jazz bars are intimate settings perfect for date night! Three! I don’t necessarily want to take public trans at night by myself. It gets dark at 5, which is still early but still... And I would only Uber back home since Uber is expensive af and I most definitely don’t want to take public trans after 8.

What do y’all think? Should I text him to see if he’s still interested in going with me? Or should I just pass on it!
