Hello Don Juans.
It's been awhile since I posted but I really need this question I have anwswered.
Tonight, I met up at a resteraunt/bar to see one of my guy friends and hear his brother's band. My friend was running the sound board most of the night but he stopped by my table to chat briefly with me a couple times.
Well after the show, I stayed behind as he was helping his brother pack up the equipment. At this time I was the only girl hanging around and there were about 5 guys that were helping to put up the instruments. Anyway at one point my friend was folding up a cable and I was just watching not saying anything and he smacked me with the cable just above my knee. I was taken by surprise because he's never done that before. I looked at him and asked him what he was doing? He ignored me and a few minutes later when I wasnt watching did it again.
Now I should note that he had been drinking a few beers during the show.
Finally, everything was all packed up and he invited me to join him and two other of his guy friends to go with them to a bar downtown. So I said sure, but he said he was going to walk there. I told him I wasnt going to walk bc I didnt want to leave my car at the resteraunt.
So anyway we get out to the parking lot and we're standing around with his two friends and out of nowhere my friend, smacks me on the shoulder playfully.
I was again taken by surprise. So I asked him what he was doing and he balled his hands into fists smiled and said put'em up. I was like what are you doing. At this point he punches me in the shoulder with one of his fists. I could tell he was playing but at the same time it was a little rough. It was a light punch but it still kind of hurt. So I told him that it hurt and to quit, and he did it again. So then I got a little pissed and told him I was ready to slap him. His friends chimed in that he should get slapped.
So I moved toward him with my hand up and he copied me and smiled. I told him I wasn't playing and that he had hurt me. So I moved toward him again and he dodged me and ran a circle around me lauging. I told him he wouldnt think it was was funny when I decided to kick him in the groin. He laughed and said that he could protect himself. So anyway he leaves briefly to go back inside the resteraunt. When he comes back out I asked him if he was going to walk me to my car and he was ****y and was like how about us three guys walk you to your car. So I was like fine. I don't remember what we were talking about as we walked to the car but my friend was running in front of me acting like he wanted to play some more. He was like I can kick you you know, but I was like I am a girl why do you want to do that to a girl.
I should note that this guy is 22 years old and should be mature and this is the first time he's ever gotten playfully rough with me. It was quite a shock and I am not sure if this is normal behavior for a guy.
Now, I should also point out that I have playfully teased him in conversation before tonight that I could take him if he touched me. But he's never acted on that comment before.
So my question is why did he go there? Is this some strange way to flirt with me or does he see me as a guy now? Please help me out here!
