I've just been to the dentist's, the one I've been going to for years. As we were chatting, we ended up chatting for a good 25 mins. about my recent break up and although the guy did not spell it out it seems he's divorced as he said he got over his experience by reading books and not going to therapy and suggested where I should start hanging out to meet divorced men. At one point he had to stop the chat as he had other clients and told me we could chat over a coffee. All I could say was good idea!

The man is attractive and intelligent and I certainly wouldn't mind having a coffee with him. I have his mobile number. Should I just forget his coffee invite as a casual remark or send a text and act upon it.

Would I basically be making a fool of myself if I did? Any advice welcome as I'm really hopeless at this sort of stuff. Please help.

He already made the invitation... you are merely responding. Text him, of course!

I should text "They say the coffee at X coffee house is good..."

Like that, if he doesn't reply you won't be embarrassed next time you go to the dentist - and if you go and it becomes clear that TALKING is all he wants, you're still cool...

Because I don't know if he really meant that we should go for a coffee or it was a casual remark. I really don't want to make a fool of myself. I mean it's bad enough I spoke about my private life with my dentist!

Hi C wave

It can do no harm to send him a text & say something like ' can we still meet for that coffee ' You will not be making a fool of yourself at all. Good luck hug

If you're interested in him, go for it... take the chance, you won't look foolish. Even if he's not interested, he'll probably be flattered anyhow, and it will be just a coffee

Seriously now... I disagree with the text strategy and suggestions... it feels like she is scared. On the other hand, a confident woman is a huge turn-on. JMO handshake

and: added to that: live up to your own quote on your profile: "Would much rather regret doing something than not doing it."

Go for it.

But if I were you.. I would choose a different approach.

Take some time.. may be another couple of days and see if he contacts you... if not, make up a stupid enough reason to go back there saying your "tooth still aches" or something dunno

And casually.. but firmly make a slight remark.. like "hey...great we didn't have that coffee, it would have been much worse" rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing ..

you know.. something funny and a bit stupid all to-gether.. and still if he doesn't pick up on the clue.. move on... either he's not interested or absolute dumb (which you would be better off in the first place)


Hope that helps.. thumbs up

Apparently he has some interest in you. If it were me I would not jump on that right away to keep things more casual until you see what his intentions may be. cheers

Did he give you his number after the coffee suggestion?

And would you be interested in more than just coffee?
