I was at a friends engagement party (dinner for 24) last night and sat opposite a lovely guy. We chatted most of the night but in our group of 4/6 not just the two of us. He offered to walk me home to make sure i was safe in the evening and was a total gentleman. It was a lovely walk home laughing and joking no awkward silences. He did not hit on me or try to kiss me. We had been talking about music/films all night and he offered to burn me a dvd of some stuff. So I said excellent get my number of our mutual friend and when he dropped me off he gave me his business card and said its a bit formal but at least youll have my email. Hugged me goodbye and left.
1) i have emailed today to say thank you for walking me home and for the offer of the dvd - when shld i expect a reply
2) Do you think he is interested in friendship or more?

What are you like ?. .. .i really understand why you have choosen the handle confused.
I'm referring to all those questions which are essentially the same.
I know you really like this guy......don't know how I can tell ???!??!!! It's not exactly obvious ???!!!!
However you just have to take one step at a time.
You are head over heels......slow down please.
In my last email I wrote
"But remember one step at a time, do not make too much of it just gently make the next move building your relationship. He will probably respond and try to take turns in taking the lead."
there is no need to say anymore.
But anyway, no more kidding you need to slow down so next time you see him your head doesn't go completely hazy from the romantic overdose you are giving yourself.... otherwise you may not show him the real you.
Take my word for it, he seems a nice guy, if he likes you he just wants to see the real you.
Slow down girl, commit to him as you get to know him.
and good luck
p.s: you better not be looking at wedding websites yet, if you are take it from me YOU are in serious trouble !!!!

It does sound as if he wants more than friendship, but if it were me I would question why he only gave you his business number - has he something to hide by not giving you his mobile/home number? Alternatively, it could be because he was being cautious until he got to know you better. Depends on the bloke when you get a reply - if he is busy at work probably not for a few days. He could also be shy. Why don't you bite the bullet and email him in a few days if you havn't heard from him and suggest going out for a drink/meeting somewhere or whatever. That way you will know if he is interested. In the meantime why don't you ask someone who was at the engagement party whether he is single or not.

He sounds like quite a nice guy, fairly genuine.
If he is going to reply to your email, I believe it would be in 24-48 hours, depending upon how busy he is with his job. If he's mega-busy, he may not even get a chance to reply, and you may get a phonecall in a few days.
And as for the question of the 'friendship or more'? Well, it's a tough question. He may be interested, but didn't want to scare you off too quickly, so kept it low-key.
My suggestion is to discuss this with your mutual friend, but be subtle. He sounds like a nice guy, and if nothing else, you may get a great friendship out of it. Just be honest, say how you feel, and you can't go too far wrong. Try not to play games. :)

Expect a reply within a few days, if he is a business man he will be checking his emails regularly. As for the second part of the question its to early to tell, just go with the flow and see what happens if he is interest in more than friendship you'll know.

initially I had my BFF of 12 years being my Maid of Honor before my 2 sisters. After a falling out, I promoted the two one among my sisters as my Matron of Honors... i'm closer to the only than the different, yet I in basic terms could not p.c.. between sisters. whether, my oldest sister (the only i'm closest to) will do all of the duties of a Matron of Honor. So, why not have 2 suited adult men? My fiancee has a suited buddy and an in basic terms brother, yet he immediately made his brother his suited guy. His suited buddy could be suited guy #2 (when you consider that I definitely have 2 now, he has been debating over it) yet initially became in basic terms a groomsman. It extremely does remember on the guy and who's there for you the main (which looks like your buddy). that's not such as you have been friends for in basic terms some short years.. So, he crammed the spots your real brother could not. i don't think of your brother could be injury... i'm able to ascertain your mom getting disillusioned, yet that's YOUR wedding ceremony... And YOUR selection. Do what's on your heart :) there's no incorrect or precise answer.

It is too early to say. Take it slow. If he doesn't like you now he may get to like you after a few more meetings as it sounds like you both had a good evening together. He may be busy so give it a week before you email him again. Either way he did walk you home and give you a business card so whether its friendship or more it sounds like your a winner regardless.

It sounds as if you have met someone very nice and had a lovely evening.
1. Its good that you emailed him to say thanks for the offer of the DVD. If he is interested he will be in touch with you, I would guess that the more interested he is, the sooner he will contact you!
2. Time will tell if he wants friendship or more ..... don't rush things.

Mmm tricky one, they never seem to give much away do they? Think he must have some sort of interest to walk you home and to know you got home safetly?
Try not to expect a reply too soon, it may not look good on his part to reply so quick. If/when he does reply see what his response is and how he plays it, perhaps you could offer to hook up to collect the dvd he is going to burn you! Good luck

If you e mailed today give the poor chap a chance. If it was his business e mail, then those will come first. There are probably many of them after a weekend away from his desk. He will get around to yours tomorrow or even later today. You sound a super girl with good manners and a nice outlook on life which is quite refreshing. If I was him I would be in touch with you in days or even hours.
Best of luck to you on this one

1) you should email him, it can be a bit nerve wracking ringing someone you don't know that well for the first time, email gives us a bit more courage. From the sounds of it he really likes you, it didn't sound like the kinda scenario where he could kiss you, you had just meet...definitely email him, if he doesn't email within 2days, hes probably not interested.
Good luck
