Was This Weird? Did He Like Me?

This really only takes like 3 minutes to read. I know this is SUPER long and that this board is for men chasing women, but this is about a man possibly chasing me so maybe that works. :p

Last night I was at a prom. I was the fill in date for my best friend Mary's friend (Bob) who I'd met once. Mary was with Tim, who said he knew nobody there except her. Tim's like a brother to her. I was talking to Tim at the start of prom when our dates went to see school friends, and we hit it off instantly.

The group of us sat at a round booth. Tim and I were beside each other. Every time he wanted to point out something funny non-verbally (like this guy had a horrible tie), he'd tap my leg with his. It was a funny night, and he must have done that about 20 times literally. He never did this with Mary though. It was like I was the only one there. A friend of his walked over during it (although he said he knew nobody there) and said hi to him. He said hi back and she left.

He left to go to the bathroom, so I moved out of the booth and sat on the other side of it. When he came back he could sit beside Mary or me, and he sat beside me. Obviously I'm not going to read into this a lot, but just saying. ;D Mary's school friend came over so Tim and I were talking and joking alone until it was time to move to the dining area. He kept winking at me too (which was so damn sexy can I add) when he was making me laugh. My date had disappeared to go for a smoke during this.

At dinner we were beside each other (they had large round tables, so Mary was the other side of him). We were talking a lot to only each other. Afterwards Mary and Bob were getting drinks, so Tim asked me did I want to dance with him, which was great. He was still making me laugh. The four of us were together from then on, dancing and talking. Except for about twenty minutes to half an hour during the prom, Tim disappeared and when I saw him he was with the girl he had said hi to earlier. He came back and explained to Mary where he was, but I was still up dancing so I didn't hear what he said. At the end of the night, Tim and I ended up dancing and rapping for two verses of a song together (we turned to our friends during the chorus). Now the thing is, at the end of the song he shook my hand? :/ What the..

There were two buses to bring us all home. When we were going to the bus, we ended up by luck walking out alone together. He offered to carry my bag, so I let him. We were talking and a worker at the place asked was I drunk enough to find him attractive yet (as a joke), so we both laughed along as if we were each others dates. On the bus he sat beside Mary (she saved him a seat). I sat with Bob who had saved me a seat two rows ahead. During the bus ride Tim checked if I was okay, made a joke comment thing (it's a funny Irish pick up line) which basically said I looked good, and later when the seat behind me was free he moved there (so I was in front of him and Mary behind him). When we got off the bus it was freezing, and he offered to take my bag again. Holding it close kept me warm so I declined. Then he offered both myself and Mary his jacket (we both said no, but thanks). He still took it off and put it around me, but it got caught in my hair so he took it off incase it hurt me and he gave it to Mary. We kept laughing and talking as we walked down the road, and when we got a taxi he offered to pay for it. Obviously we didn't let him but still. As i got out of the taxi he said something about getting my number, but Mary was talking at the same time so I didn't catch what either of them said. I said bye and all that, and that was it!

This morning I added him on Facebook. It said he's 'in a relationship," but earlier in the night when we (the group) were talking about relationships he never said anything about having a girlfriend. He said him and his old girlf were broken up for a while, but nothing about a new girl! So I looked at her picture and she was the girl at the prom!

I'm finding it weird that:

1. He seemed into me (maybe I just liked him lots and convinced myself of that) with the way he made me laugh, the way he touched me to get my attention all the time (for photos, and the leg thing), the way we danced together, he kept winking at me, etc. Like even him giving me his jacket, carrying my bag, and he didn't see his girlfriend after he disappeared that one time.

2. He said he knew nobody there on multiple occasions throughout the night although his girlfriend was there. Surely it would have come up in conversation that they were both going to the same prom?

Thanks for reading if you did!

Welcome, IrishGal.

It's funny that the only other Irish person on here turns out to be a girl. A lot of Irish guys could use a bit of info on this site since the whole "dating scene" just revolves around shockingly drunken hookups and guys with zero experience, but I digress...

I think long story short... he at least likes you.
There's really no way of telling about the GF but from what you said it sounds like they were friendly to each other but not really engaging? In that case I'd just assume they were broken up or on a break or something. People are funny about the whole FB relationship thing, I've heard it before, nobody wants to be the first to "break" and change their status. I just avoid even having a status but again, that s a topic for another day.

If you like the guy why not just meet him again. Your FB friends so he knows you can see his relationship status so just ask him and go from there. What else can you do?
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Thanks! Yeah, the Irish dating scene is horrific! I hate it. I know it's dramatic, but seriously with people kissing god knows how many people a night, who knows who you could be kissing and what diseases they've got! I'd rather to date someone the old-fashioned way, which never happens really in Ireland it seems! :p

Thanks for the hope! :p Yeah, I probably should have added in that they put up that they're in a relationship at the end of last month, and the ex he talked about was with him for a few years so that definitely wasn't her. :/ Like seeing as the night lasted about eight hours, he spent twenty to thirty minutes with her.. I thought that was odd!

Mary was talking about possibly having a party soon, so I'll try to remind her about that and make sure she remembers to invite Tim to it! :p
