Hi guys, I'm very new to this whole dating thing, so this is probably a very green question, but here it is.

I've got this guy who I'm almost positive is interested in me as more than a friend. We met by chance at a restaurant about a month ago, had been talking online a bit, then recently a lot more, and then he asked me to go to a movie with him. I wasn't sure if he was looking for a buddy or a possible girlfriend, but last week we went out to lunch together (my suggestion), and he's been texting me a lot ever since. I've been trying to follow Mimi's advice and remain polite but indifferent, and it's worked like a charm to draw him to me. The movie's at the end of this week, but I'm kind of hoping we could hang out before then, as we go to the same university, and our dorms are right next to each other. It just seems kind of odd to me that he's texting me so much, kind of offhandedly suggesting that we get together sometime, but not actually saying, "Hey what are you up to? Why don't we hang out tonight?" or something. It seems to me that he's apprehensive about actually asking, but if I give him the bait he jumps for it.

I guess my question is, should I wait until he specifically asks me to do something (of course there's still the movie...) or should I suggest something first? Would it weaken my stance, or maybe help him as he obviously has enough time to be texting me constantly but maybe not enough nerve to outright ask me?

Thanks for any help from a total newbie.
