Date #17 "The Toy Boy"

So I phoned a guy I was talking to a while ago thinking it was a work colleague (I had neither of their names recorded in my phone) and when I realised who it was we got talking and agreed to go for a drink.

We met at the pub in Greenhithe and I thought he looked cute - I felt a bit nervous, but we fell into easy conversation - him over a beer and me over a sparkling Jacobs Creek Rose - the perfect drink for a summer afternoon.  I thought it went really well...  we laughed, talked about a lot of things and got on really well.  He was 28yrs old, had a good job, was interesting and funny and I really wanted to see him again despite how much younger he was than me.  He was not looking for something casual as most men his age would be - he genuinely wanted to find someone he could settle down with.  He gave me a hug as we said goodbye and said he'd message me.

That afternoon I got a text saying "So...thoughts?" and I replied saying "I had a nice time, you?"  No reply came back very quickly.  I knew he was at a BBQ but after a while I couldn't resist texting "or are you going to keep me in suspense?" to which he replied "Lol, sorry... yeah I had a good time too."

Me being me and can't stand the power games, I asked him if he wanted to see me again.  His reply was "Yeah, possibly..."

What is that?  After we both had a nice time and he hugged me and texted me he then is ambiguous about whether or not he wants to see me again?  I had to draw the conclusion that he just wasn't that into me and so I didn't reply and have left it at that - but pretty disappointed.
