Is he actually interested...?

if that guy really likes you….he will not mind your physical appearance…........

It sounds like he is interested. I wouldn’t worry about you looking like that, I know that good guys can generally see past that post-workout grime and can prefer to see girls without makeup on. It can actually be more attractive to some guys that you aren’t so worried about appearances that you are happy to nip to the shops like that. If you aren’t happy to nip to the shops sans makeup etc. that can be an unattractive trait to some guys thinking that you might be a “princess” type girl and overly high maintenance. Not a cool trait to have. I would hate for guys to think that I’m so precious that I wouldn’t nip to the shops in gym gear, its good to be practicle and from my experience nice guys like that. It will also mean you can relax around him more and he can relax around you.
He still asked for your number didn’t he? Looks aren’t everything! Remember that! He must have enjoyed your conversation and still found you attractive. You wouldn’t want a guy that only liked you for your looks would you? It sounds like you’ve got a good one, next text maybe ask him for a coffee or something. See what he says. Then maybe when you meet up you can stun him by looking better than he remembers but still looking casual!

I don’t think he would have asked for your number or called if he wasn’t interested.

Most people, who are mature enough, can see though the messed up hair, the work-out clothes, to see who you are and find that attractive or not. You are not your clothes or your make-up. Remember, some (I’d say most) men are also able to disregard the make up and clothes and still find a woman unattractive because of her attitude and personality. He probably saw your eyes and your smile and perhaps your wit as you flirted and that was enough.

Have fun getting to know him.

Very few peole get “foxed up” to go to WalMart. Haven’t you seen People of Walmart site?
He has already seen you at your worst and was still interested. Great! Go for it!

(Unless he’s 2x your age, then skip it. He might just be trolling.)

Hey, Thanks for the input. Ü
I guess it’s just harder to see that there might be some actually decent people out there. I just moved from a little town in AZ to freakin huge Miami, and where I’m from none of the guys would pay attention to me. Let alone ask me out or start a comvo with me. So it just makes me wonder if the guys here are just more forward or if they’re just trying to get in my pants. Cause there are some guys that just want that one thing.

@Eroundy12 – I think that you are in a good situation now. You know that he liked you even though you were not prettied-up when you first met him and you now have the opportunity to show him how much nicer you can look when you have put some effort into it! I would just recommend that you meet in public places during the getting-to-know-you phase, because you really don’t know anything about him yet, from a safety perspective.

That’s for sure @answerjill. Unfortunately I’ve learned this the hard way before. I was going out with someone thought to be a pretty decent person even after weeks of talking to each other, and I later found out he was a psycho during one of the many dates we went on.
Nothing happened but It could have been a horrible experience if I would have responded in a different way that I had.
So since then i’ve tried to be careful with those I don’t know completely.
That’s probably another reason why I’m hesitant to meet up with him just yet. I think in the back of my mind I’m still concerned that I will get trapped in a similar situation again.
