Ask A Very Smart Brotha: Is It Ok To Date Your Baby’s Father’s Cousin

NaToyia: A guy asks to take you out. States that there is something about you that he’s attracted to and would like to find out what it is. You give him your number, but every text is good morning or are you at work (we work at the same company in different departments), I try engage him in conversation but it falls flat on his end. He’s generally happy to see me at work, no question about it. Plans are designated to just Fridays as he has to be to work early (5-6 am) the rest of the week and he’s a single father. We haven’t been able to go out because of conflicting schedules, but I feel in between time we could at least talk and text to get familiar with each other. Is he really trying to get to know me or what?

DY: Because this is new, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt here. He sounds like a guy who just doesn’t enjoy texting very much. Now, if this goes on for months — with still no date — then something is definitely wrong. But, if you basically just met the guy, I’d advise you to relax.
