We’ve only met once but I like him 🥺

In December 2019, I met a guy while out with my friend at a bar/club. It was the end of the night and my friend Shadae was talking to his friend and because him and I didn’t know each other we both awkwardly stood in the background as our friends conversed.

I don’t remember who initiated the conversation, but eventually him and I started talking, than exchanges Snapchats. I thought he was cute but because we had had a short friendly conversation about real estate, I didn’t think he was interested in me. After that night we’d converse on Snapchat time to time.

A few weeks go by and I post a photo of myself on my story and he responded saying something flirtatious. I was caught off guard because 1. I didn’t think he watched my snaps and 2. I didn’t think he was attracted to me.

As time went on our surface conversations became more than surface conversations as we got to know each other. In conversation he mentioned taking me out on a date when he was back in town (he’s in Mexico, he’s been living down there since December 2020, because he’s a snowbird).

In conversation I mentioned that I am celibate and cultivating my relationship with God and he applauded me for doing so.

I’m really attracted to him and really like him but I feel so weird because we’ve only ever seen each other once in person (the day we met) and the rest has been via Snapchat conversations.

He’s coming back home to Toronto next month and I’m super nervous as to whether or not he’s going to follow through with taking me out on a date because we hadn’t spoken in 3 weeks.

Should I initiate the conversation when I know he’s back in town or should I let him initiate the conversation and bring up the date? I feel so weird liking someone I’ve meet once, please help/send advice 🥺
