Is he interested...?

[summerlove22]

So theres a guy at my work who I really like. He works in a different department/building to mine, but comes into my office 1 or 2 times a week for meetings. I've noticed him for a year, but we've never needed to work together so only see eachother in passing and have only smiled at eachother. Until a few months ago, my friend was talking to him and found out hes originally from my home town and she told him oh rose is from there too! And so when she told me, I plucked up the courage to talk to him when I crossed paths with him again and we got to talking.

 

Since then, every time he comes over to our office, he always makes a point to come over to my desk to talk to me (doesn't talk to anyone else) and if I'm talking to someone or on the phone/in a meeting, he will always catch my attention and smile or wave.

 

Now, I don't know if he's just being friendly because we have something in common, or if he's interested in me. But I really fancy him, I think he's really friendly, cute and sweet. And for the past few weeks I've been hoping for our chit-chats to become something more.

 

The other day while we were chatting, he said why don't you take my number and we can go for drinks sometime, so I did (I think he was a bit nervous when he said it) But he comes across as a very confident guy anyway.

So I messaged him my number so he had it, because I didn't want to be the first one to initiate anything. But I didn't get a reply. A couple of days later he was in our office again, and came over to me and said oh so sorry for not responding I've been so busy, so I said no worries. He went off to a meeting, but on his way back, he came over to my desk and chatted for a bit, apologised again for not contacting me and then carried on making conversation.

 

I expected for him to have messaged me since then, but he hasn't. I saw him again this week, but I was so busy I didn't get a chance to talk to him much. We only spoke for like 5 seconds, he asked me what I was doing this weekend, and turns out we are going to the same festival (which is in the area he lives in). I was also a bit nervous/confused when talking to him because last time we spoke he gave me his number and mentioned drinks, and since then not mentioned it again! So maybe I came across as a bit off with him but it could have seemed that I was too busy to talk at the time.

I'm tempted to message him when I get there, but surely if he was interested he would do that if he knows i will be there? Also I don't want to message again when he ignored my last one

 

What do you guys think? Is he playing games, playing it cool, really busy, or just not interested? although it confuses me why he would mention drinks the other day, or even offer out his number

 

I realise I'm over analysing so early on, but I don't know if maybe I read too much into his actions. Maybe he only sees me as a friend? My friend at work says he always stares at me, and he always comes over to talk to me, and once when he said goodbye he called me beautiful. So why isn't he making contact? Thoughts?

He's either just flirting meaninglessly or trying to play it cool by not responding to your msg.

 

Either way stop obsessing over him. If he has any interest in meeting you outside of work he'll contact you within a week or so with an invite.

 

And in the meantime do not msg him again, especially not at the fest. He knows you'll be there, if he wanted to see you there he would have arranged that. He's definitely not shy if he gave out his number like that.
