Dear Lucia,

I'm interested in the guy who teaches my dance class. He's a really confident and talented dancer. He has female groupies that hang around him. I'm pretty sure he's attracted to me by the way he makes eye contact and I feel sparks fly when we're dancing together. I've seen him outside of class and he always comes up to talk to me.

I gave him my number a month ago, without him asking for it, yet he hasn't called. Does this mean he's not into me? Alle


Dear Alle,

You’re so focused on everything that he is, that you don’t see what he isn’t. What he isn’t, is interested.. If a guy is interested and available, he doesn’t let a month go by without calling. Most guys call within 2 days.

It’s possible that he’s interested but he’s seeing someone. There’s also the possibility that he’s gay.

I would not have suggested you give him your number without his asking for it. People sometimes take the number just to be polite. If you wait until someone asks for your number, then you don’t have to sit around worrying whether they’re “into you” or not. Let men be men and ask for your number if they’re interested.

I suggest you continue to act friendly and mention nothing about his not calling. If he becomes available and he likes you, he’ll call. If not, say: Next!
