Men are generally straightforward, so confusion often comes down to one of two things:
He’s genuinely unsure...he doesn’t fully understand what he wants or what he’s getting into. When he says, “I don’t want any problems,” it could mean he’s uncertain or afraid of where things might lead.
Or, He may have misunderstood your intention. He might have taken your invitation at face value....just a casual hangout...without realizing you meant it as something more, possibly romantic.
The best way forward? Be clear and honest. If you like him, tell him. Ask directly if he’d like to go on a date...not just a hangout. Keep it simple. Clarity cuts through confusion. If he feels the same, you’ll know. If not, you’ll have your answer without overthinking.
