He danced with you all night, but kept his distance
Not only was he as excited to dance as you and all your female friends were, dragging you out onto the dance floor, but he was good at dancing. And not once did he grind on you or try to make out with you. He genuinely just loved to dance.

He freely complimented all your female friends
In front of you, he told your other female friends that they’re gorgeous, or have a great sense of style, or an amazing body. But he didn’t seem to be hitting on them…just very comfortable acknowledging the beauty of women and leaving it at that.

He ordered white wine
Instead of ordering the usual beer or whiskey drink, he wanted white wine because it complimented his fish. Oh yes, and he was ordering fish.

He wore a neon tank top
We’re talking bright as a glow stick, cut out on the sides below the belly button. It was a hot summer day, and he wore this with regular beach shorts and flipflops an you got unnecessarily concerned.

He used occasional French words
He said things like “that’s so faux pas” and “Madamoiselle” and you didn’t know how to appreciate the French tongue.

He ordered a salad because he had “too many carbs yesterday”
At a lunch date, when you suggested calamari, he said “Ooof, just salad for me” and patted his “bloated” stomach while explaining the giant pasta dish he had the night before.

He told you your outfit was “cute”
He didn’t tell you that you looked hot, or that you took his breath away. He looked you up and down, maybe twirled you around and said, “Your outfit is so cute.”

He had a dozen female friends
He was surrounded by women all of the time who he was not sleeping with—not even a little. Female friends called him constantly to share gossip or ask for guy advice.

He wore a small bathing suit
Not a speedo or a banana hammock, but definitely smaller than the usual board shorts. Think 70’s style shorts, that fall just between the knee and thigh.

He didn’t make a move when he so could have
When you were obviously giving him an opening for a kiss, or to come upstairs, he kissed you on the cheek and said goodnight.
