Throwaway account. I’ve (20 f) been hanging out with a (42 m), but I’m not interested in him romantically.
I’m just barely in my early 20s, and I was in a situation where I hung out with a guy in his 30s. I never once felt disrespected or whatnot, we hung out because we both were gamers. I had a great time, and after a couple of months, he said he was into me. I said I wasn’t ready for a relationship, but the thought that he would continue to like me if we continued to hang out scared me, so I cut off communication with him.
Flash forward to now. Recently, I’ve been hanging out with this 40 year old, BUT again, I’m not feeling disrespected or anything along those lines. However, we do hang out more than I hang out with others, just because of proximity and other factors where I’m currently away from my closer friend group. We talk about a lot things, from current news to fandoms etc. and he’s a person who I can have dialogue with, not feel disrespected, but feel listened. Again, I have no feelings for him, just as a friendship.
Lately, I’ve noticed that he’s been putting his hands on my back when we’re taking photos, or him putting his hands on my knees whenever we’re talking in the car. Could this mean he likes me? He’s a very sensible guy, so I wouldn’t expect him to be “dating/interested” in a ~20 year old. I’ve met his friends, gotten to know his friend group, and they are all really nice people.
I just don’t want another friendship to turn into some he likes me I don’t like him let’s cut things off situation. I do not “use” him, in fact I insist on paying for things that I buy or whenever we go out to eat.
TL;DR Guy I have been talking to is making small physical gestures, could be a sign of friendliness or interest, really not sure.
