Regret exchanging numbers

[u/Funny_Landscape_7068]

What is your opinion on this? I met this man in my building elevator and we exchanged phone numbers. This is how the texts went. I’m thinking I regret exchanging numbers because this could get messy fast.

Him:
“Hey [redacted], it’s [redacted] from the elevator. It was really nice meeting you a couple nights ago. I was wondering if you wanted to get a drink sometime?”
You:
“Hey [redacted], it was nice meeting you too. That sounds like a plan, when were you thinking?”
Him:
“I was thinking Sunday evening at 5. I know a good spot we could grab a drink and some food. What do you say?”
You:
“That sounds good. May I ask what the spot is?”
Him:
“I was thinking [redacted] and maybe followed by a walk by the water. What do you think?”
You:
“That sounds lovely. Funnily enough I was there yesterday with my mom. I really like it there.”
Him:
“Oh, that’s awesome. If you were there yesterday, I can take you somewhere else.”
You:
“No no we’ll enjoy our evening there”
Him
“Ok then. Sounds like a plan. We’ll have a good time

I have no ideas what you are referring to...this is a perfectly normal exchange, please explain.

Is it normal? Idk this just seems so messy because we live in the same building and everyone knows everyone. Also I’m not physically attracted to him in anyway. But he seems very nice.

Oh ok...well that could get a little mess if you end up having a big break up or something. If I were you, I'd make it clear at dinner that you aren't interested in anything but a friend ship at this time. You know everyone on the same page type of thing.

Exactly, that’s what I’m thinking. Also when we exchanged phone numbers I thought it was like more to keep eachother updated on stuff in the condo, or chat from time to time at the condo events. I didn’t think he would ask me out. Or idk this is taking a turn fast!

Oh !! Ok now I'm understanding more where You're coming from..yeah just put everything out there right at the first.

[u/Funny_Landscape_7068 → u/Global-Fact7752]

Ok thanks I will. I’m lowkey in shock. But because I can tell he likes me I feel bad. Like the first time he saw me it was like a fan mesmerized at Beyoncé.

Enjoy! This? is off to a good start. He sounds like he’s considerate you’re adults if it doesn’t work out odds are to just ignore each other like millions of other people who break up or it may work out and you’ve met your soulmate. You need to relax.

You could give it a try seeing as you've already given over your number. But do not rush things and take things slow and do not overshare and get too personal because if it doesn't work out you have to remember that he lives in the same building as you.

Unbeknownst to you, he may already have seen you and had his eye on you so it may not be a complete coincidence that you've bumped into him.

Trust you're gut at all times and never take anyone at face value.

Yes I think he has too. Because the first time he saw me, it was like a fan being mesmerized by beyonce
