An update!
I tell you, I can't stop smiling. I've been grinning ear-to-ear all night. I spent most of the day in varying degrees of contact with my new love interest (see post below). A bunch of us all went to lunch together, and then parted ways. Then went to a show -- and finally drinks with just my friend, her actual husband and the fella.
It was so nice, and I just ... I really just think he's an amazing person.
I also, against all my natural hesitations, told my friend that I thought her cousin (the fella) was pretty cute too. I'm not good at putting myself out on a limb like that. But I have a lot of people rooting for me on this one, and that makes it easier, maybe.
I don't really know how to write how fun these past couple of days have been for me. I've really not been interested in anyone in almost a year now. I had one fleeting flirtation with a guy in a park about six months ago, but never saw him again. My problem is I tend to try to leave on a high note. I get in great conversations with people and find them really engaging but then... get intimidated and worried that they are getting bored and suddenly find a reason to dash off, and miss out on what could be something really neat.
But here I have someone who I believe at the very least finds me interesting -- we have a LOT in common (he ordered my current favourite wine when we went out for drinks -- that's got to be a good sign, right?), and I really want to get to know him better.
I'm just not sure where it goes from here. I will see my friend/his cousin regularly for the next two weeks, but not necessarily him. We definitely kind of went out on a date tonight, and he makes me all squeal-y but he didn't ask me out. That's okay, I'm not expecting the moon or anything, and to be fair I don't think word has gotten back that I'm interested.
But it leaves me with a bit of a question mark looming above my head.
I had a great night, a great day, and I want more...
But I don't want to go the Facebook route.
And I'm not sure where to go from here.
Dear internetz: what do you think?

Take charge and make your own future - one way or the other. Ask your friend for his phone number, call him up and ask him out. The worst that can happen is he says "no"...and he might say "yes."
PHONE HIM!!! DO IT!!
Yep, definitely call him. Tell him you enjoyed his company and see if he wants to go out again. Drop a few more hints with his cousin too.
Now go and phone him!!
Boring married gal here: GET HIS PHONE NUMBER!
