julia, 32, from new jersey asks:

This guy was working at the record shop, we hung out a couple times a couple months back. Now he quit the shop. When I went in there a few days before his last day, he asked me out. We went out, had fun. He paid. He said we would have to do this again, before he leaves town for xmas. I went to the shop a couple days later, on his last day, he wanted to go out again the next week. He called a couple days later needing help, his uncle died and he needed me to watch his dog at my house and probably longer since he is moving back home and his parents said no dog. I say okay, he comes over we talk a bit then he goes home. He goes to funeral, he came back in town for a day before leaving for xmas vacation for a few days, he came over gave me a present for watching the dog, we went to the room where the dog was, let the dog roam, and we talked about different things. He always asks how I've been. When he left in a little bit, he said he wanted to go out to eat when he came back (since we didn't get to go because of funeral) to town in a few days. Does he like me?

VictorM's answer:

He keeps asking you out, you have fun, you dog-sat for his dog... I think you're heading straight to relationship heaven... unless... let me get this straight: he's moving back to his parent's who won't allow him to have a dog. OK, so what's going to happen to the dog? Are you keeping it? For how long?

He either likes you or he needs a dog sitter. Well, it could be both but how will you know? I sure as heck don't. I wouldn't rule anything out.

Hey, at least he didn't have a boa constrictor as a pet.
