I have admired this painter working at my workplace for several months (the oganization is undergoing a remodeling project).  We have had a few flirtatous exchanges, one of which I invited him to join me for coffee sometime.  Two days passed, and no coffee break.  On Friday, I asked him, "So when are we going to meet for coffee?"  He said, "Sometime soon.  I'm not going to make any promises about when, but what is your number?" I gave him my number.  He did not give me his.  This was a hasty exchange as we both did not want to be seen by others--my work mates, and the construction crew.  He wrote my number down, and that was it.  No call from him all weekend.  What does this mean?  I suspect he is in a relationship, but am not sure.  I know nothing about this man except we are making intense eye contact when ever we pass each other by in the building.  How should I react when I run into him on Monday?  Keep smiling and be stoic?

Yup. And wait for a fortnight. But if he does call after THAT LONG, do let him know you were expecting him to call yah earlier than that!

Be careful, I've been in this situation and it didn't work out.  \n\nI think guys that do this aren't sure what they want, or they know that they really like you, but kind of want to store you for later, when they want a proper relationship.  Or they just like a bit of fun when they are out, but nothing else.  \n\nWhy do you keep waiting to meet by chance if he's texting you to meet up?  Why don't you meet up with him and see what happens.  Or say I'm busy, but we could arrange to meet up just the two of us on a different day.  You just don't know what will happen, unless you put yourself out there.

Well a lot depends on the type of personality he has in my opinion as far as how things will go next. From the way you explain things it definately sounds like he is interested. The question really becomes is he arrogant, confident, shy, intimidated... etc. These things will predict how he next acts. \n\nI for one am a more shy type of guy, and easily intimidated by women I don't know well. I guess I lack a certain confidence level. So, in my case, it might take me longer to use that number until I felt assured Iw ouldn't be making an idiot of myself.\n\nMy friend however if much more confident to the level of being slightly arrogent. He would have no problem calling you, but would need to fit you in his schedule. Seeing that you would be around each other at work often, there would be no need to call to maintain your intetest, just to make the date.\n\nWell I hope this helps... just my opinion...

If he didn't give you his number and you call him might think you are needed (or a stalker). Give him time, nothing less than 2 weeks. Then maybe get you Godmother to help you out. Ask her to call him and CAUSALLY bring up that you asked about him, and see what she says.

I cannot tell you "no" or "yes" without really knowing more of the details of the situation.\n\nBut the very act of you asking this question and wondering whether you should or should not probably means, "nope." Wait a while and give him time.\n\nPlus, if he was charming, he would have you GIVING him your number without him even asking. Or have you asking for HIS. Heh, I wouldn't give in so easy to ya! :)\n\nWait a while till you get to know him. He may be a fantastic guy! Or he might be a rotten egg. And, make sure that you two live within an "okay" distance so you two can easily meet if it does come to that. There is really no sense of him calling and chatting and adoring you if you two cannot physically be together.

I would say too soon.  In my single days, I never shared my number until a few phone coversations with the other person!  I always asked for their number and blocked mine when I called.  I would wait a few weeks or even a few months...but that's just me.\n\nMy work doesn't even have my home number, just my cell - I'm very secretive about that.  :P

I think you are reading too much into it.\n\nMost people say 'take care' because they want you to be alright, and often don't even think 'I'm gonna put that in there so she knows I really like her'. More often it's just a means of closing an email politely.\nIf he stopped he might be rushed in writing the emails, or doesn't feel he has to be so formal with you now. Either way, I doubt it means anything.\n\nIf you like this guy, you should tell him.\n\nGood luck, and take care!

Calling you in a regular basis is not everything. He is a busy person. So, it is possible to be tired after he finish his job. That is not a perfect time to call you and he might feel that if he starts talking to you at that time, you will be dipressed at his condition. So, he likes to avoid this situation. Is it wrong? I don't think so!\n\nRemember one thing, keeping you in his heart always is far better than paying attention to so many girls - no matter how much time he is being able to give you!

I can't really tell you yes he is into you, because I don't know how he acted around you, and I don't know him. What I can tell you is that if it seemed like he really had a great time and you both had fun, then maybe there is hope. I suppose if he called you to let you know he was home safe, that's a plus, because if he didn't care at all, he wouldn't of called at all. Now, about him waiting to call you, maybe he was nervous, busy, like the other person commented, maybe didn't want to seem desperate. Just give it time, and if nothing becomes of it, let it go, there are a ton of men out there waiting to meet ya! ;)

I think its really cute...love indeed is sweeter the second time around. Perhaps you can start talking to each other like ordinary acquaintances and then just ask him/her if she/he wants to go for some cup of coffee or tea. You can gauge by then your next moves...maybe a movie or dinner. Have fun and i hope everything goes well with you. Cheers!

If you recently met this guy you have to be a liitle patient and not just enter a relationship with him. Do you personally know why he travels so frequently? You ahve to be careful when its comes to this type of situation. All I can say is to be a little patient and do not rush into anything.

NEVER move too fast with someone you work with. If he throws lines like that he is weighing to see if you are available, laugh and say, yeah, high time you found someone steady so you won't have to look around every week. \nDON'T let him know on your first evening out, play it cool, show you like him but not too much.\nMen like women they can chase, let him know you are not easy, but you are into him, let him take you out a few times, do sweet little things for you, when you know you can trust him enough not to discuss what you both do at the water cooler, go ahead and indulge!\nREMEMBER, you don't wanna be known as "an easy lay" in your workplace. Best of luck, hope he is as nice as you hope he is!

Sounds like all talk and no action. I wouldn't wait around for it. If what he says is true then he would have done something long before now. Don't wait around for him. Do your thing and let him do his. If he is into you, he will make the move. That shouldn't be you job, especially if he claims to have liked you for so long. You didn't miss any sign, because he failed to send you one.

Sounds to me like he got a lil flaky on you and his attraction for you is wavering because of a: You not responding and b: maybe it'st just his thing. The tables have turned so if you really want to persue this relationship, go and do more then just call him up. Meet with him and discuss things.

it sounds like you have what I call a "non-date" on your hands. This is super awkward, and you wont know what it is until the end of the night, hopefully! Basically, if he pays, tries to kiss you, or makes any move...you're in. If not, he is either shy as hell or just wants you as a friend. good luck. you sound like my life.

Sounds like he likes you a lot if he is willing to move closer to your or work closer to you.  Sounds wonderful, why do you need help?

He certainly sounds interested, but not quite certain enough of what he wants (unless he is just looking to use you when it's convenient for him.)\n\nPerhaps he thought the visit that didn't work out was your way of politely trying to put him off?  If you think his intentions are honorable, you should just call him, so he knows that you are still thinking of him.  If that isn't enough to get him to invest more effort, then perhaps he's not worth the trouble.  Listen to your heart, but proceed cautiously.  Good luck!  :)
