What is he going to think about my question?

Question

We're in College. My friend told me that he is from a city where most people are white and are "rednecks" whatever that means. I asked him if his parents were very conservative, he said that they are fine but he knows many people whose parents wouldn't be happy if they dated a black girl. I asked him what he thought about interracial relationships, he said that for him, it is totally fine. I am black and he's white. Do you think he might think that I liked him because of my question? I mean, does my question implies that I was in fact asking if he could consider dating me, or maybe he may just think that i was asking a general question?

Answer 1

I realize you want to know what he was thinking, but it's not so easy from here.

If I were a guy and you asked me that question, I wouldn't feel like you asked the question just because were interested in me.  The flow of the conversation took a natural turn that way, so I'm 51% sure he didn't read it as "I want to date you".  

Answer 2

If I were a guy I would consider it as a general question.. you asked him several questions.. I am sure he likes you but I believe he is an open minded kind of guy and he would answer most peoples questions..  I don't think that it entered his mind that you propose to date him...he believes that you asked a general question...I would think

Answer 3

Amazing how asking a simple question can lead to endless bewilderment about how somebody will take it.

Why did you ask it?  This is all that matters.

Answer 4

well i , as a girl reading this makes me imply that you wanna know if he could date you. however he as a guy would probably be unable to see that. becuase they dont catch on to hints they need the obvious " i like you" haha so if you dont want him to think that then you're good. because he Probably wont.  but if you do .. keep bringing stuff up like that.
