You've all heard about this guy I like. So, we are going riding Saturday, with the group. At least we intend to, baring anything unforeseen happening. This is motorcycles, by the way.
I've read all the advice from everyone. We already have coffee together twice a week, a meal out with the group once or twice a week, depending on the weather and whether we are riding. We have a lot of fun together, inside the group. Which is why I've been hesitating, because if he isn't interested, then I risk feeling uncomfortable around him and possibly the rest of the group.
So, I'm going to say, "Would you be interested in coming over for supper some night next week? Maybe throw a couple steaks on the BBQ?" I have a nice back deck. I can set the patio table for supper and we can eat outside.
What do you think?

Good for you! I understand your hesitation and possibly feeling uncomfortable if he isn't interested. If you really like him, I guess you have to decide if it's worth that risk. If you don't ask though, you might always wonder 'what if'. It sounds like you have a good plan. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Thanks for the positive note Angel. Todays the day! I'm just getting my daily courage-booster and we're all meeting for breakfast at 8, then heading out for a run. I'll be back with how it went. Keep your fingers crossed I don't embarrass myself!

I just read your posts, and I hope things go well for you. I never asked a man out; I can't imagine how much courage that would take! I think you have a great idea that sounds like a fun date. Hopefully you'll be back with a positive update.

OMG, well if I wasn't six shades of red, I don't know who has ever been! There were 10 of us on the ride and we all stopped for lunch. We're sitting around the parking lot after, shooting the breeze, waiting for everyone to be done eating, using the washroom, whatever. My friend and I are sitting together. I just up and ask him if he'd be interested in coming for supper some evening. He raises one eyebrow and asks if he's going to get lucky. I expected it. He talks that way and I'm never sure if he's serious. I said if you call a steak and a salad lucky, then you will be. No sex? No. Oh, okay. How about Tuesday? I'll be hungry again by then. So, I think I have a date.

Congrats, that's aweseome! It sounds like he has a great sense of humor, and maybe he's just joking around whenever he mentions sex. Even if he really thought he might get lucky, at least this way there are no expectations. And you can enjoy the evening more because you know he's aware that you didn't invite him over for sex.
Oh, and that was a great reply to his asking if he was going to get lucky!
