I met a nice guy online. We exchanged pictures and knew each other from seeing each other in the professional world (not the same industry exactly). Also I think he goes to my swimming pool. I don't think he is interested as he was friendly but brief in his exchanges. But I cannot be sure.
I would like to develop a friendship but taking that step of suggesting going for a drink or coffee is overwhelming. If he does not have any interest might he feel a degree of pressure or "oh, not this guy. I'm not interested" vibe.
I could wait until after lockdown but I may not see him for a year as we work from home now. I could resume conversation on the dating app but he may see that as a come on advancement.
Any advice? Be tough with me if I need to grow up. This is a challenge. Getting shot down is not easy. What could I say to make it clear that I just want friendship. I cannot even be certain that he wants my friendship.
