I was tired of the scenario and offered an olive branch. He took it. He's not on there often but we have slowly begun to talk to each other. The unfortunate part is that I've had to initiate everything.

I believe I said in my last post regarding him that the next time I saw him (November 18th at his last show; his band broke up so he could earn his masters) that I would finally confront him. Well, I did. Wait, I guess I didn't. There was a confrontation however. He saw me first when I walked in. He managed to say,"hi! how's it goin'?". His body language said it all. There he stood, in the middle of a semi-circle of his onlooking friends, his eyes wide with excitement, hand over his heart, looking taken aback. That message seemed pretty clear to me. I had never seen a man clutch at his chest like that. He still seemed pretty aloof but friendlier the rest of the night.
Then I hit him up on the ol' FB. I told him I was tired of the scenario and offered an olive branch. He took it. He's not on there often but we have slowly begun to talk to each other. The unfortunate part is that I've had to initiate everything. That's normally a problem for me but he is eager and excited when I do. I found out through his best friend (a female; she messaged me via FB) that he's been consistently interested this entire time but felt rejected. Her exact words were: "He's a total chicken shit when it comes to you". So, I wrote to him that I wanted him to come out to a show with my friends and to get to know him better. He gave me his number and wants to get together.
It just goes to show that I should trust my intuition. I always got the impression that he was cautious of me for he seemed to have a strong emotional reaction, which led to avoidance, when I was around. He knows I have a bf. He knows I'm committed. Yet he's still interested in pursuing a friendship with me. A breakthrough at last!
