Theater people, would you consider this a date?

Question

This weekend, one of my friends from acting class is going downtown with me to see our Musical Theatre teacher in a musical. He's driving, it's a Friday night, it's in Chicago and we will most likely be getting some dessert afterwards. We are just friends, and we met about a month ago when we were in a play together. But I would kind of like it to be a date, because I kind of like him. I got a cute little sun dress to wear and adorable sandals to go with. Do you think he will get the idea or will he just think of it as a friends night out? I know that it is sometimes hard to read people's emotions in the theater world, so I'm kind of nervous/worried.

Answer 1

I wouldn't consider it a date, and if he doesn't consider it a date, I doubt a cute dress and sandals will open his eyes. Guys are kind of clueless at subtle signals. You might have to blow in his ear or something! J/K!  Just go and look your best and be yourself and have fun. If he has fun as well, it may dawn on him that he should ask you out on an official date!

Answer 2

well, like all things like this, see what he thinks of you, and read his body language in the car, during the show and when you go out afterward. if he's leaning into you, trying to make you laugh or singling you out from everyone else, he's into you. if that's the case, i would send him a cute little text like an hour after you get home asking him how he liked the show or something generic like that...if he answers back, take the conversation wherever it leads you. good luck!!

you know you love me. xoxo, gossip girl ;)

Answer 3

Sounds great and good luck! I would wear your cute outfit, have a great time and keep it casual. If it goes anywhere, great. But I wouldn't look at it as a date because it might make you uncomfortable. And as far as him getting it, guys are dense, don't count on it, LOL, even theatre guys.

Good luck and have a great time!

Answer 4

It certainly sounds great. Since it's just been a month, I wouldn't think he would really get the idea. But who knows. But if you want it to be a date, don't push it on him, he needs time to react, not in a bad way. So take it slow, subtle, not big stage movements!

Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

I totally undertand this since you can never tell with theatre guys! Decoding hugs are the hardest!I think you should just play it as it comes and try to pick up on how conciders it. Don't forget to have fun fun watching the show!
