Hi everyone, I have a question. There is a man that I have been quite attracted to. We had been flirting with each other for some time now and I told him that I am interested in him a little while ago. Well, I didn't really get any response from him when I told him that, so I just decided that I should maybe lay low on the flirting since he's not interested. Well, I reduced my emails to him quite dramatically and stopped "hanging" out with him more and more.

 

So now when I do email him, he makes an effort to let me know that he enjoys it when I contact him. He tells me that it's nice to me, he compliments me. When I do see him in person, he generally flirts even more than before, or shall I say non-verbally lets me know that he's interested.

 

His birthday is on Monday and so I emailed him and said, "So you're gonna be a Birthday Boy in a few days! Are you excited?"

 

His reply was: "Yeah! What are you going to get me for my birthday?"

 

I said: "I dunno... what do you want?"

 

He said: "Ummmmm..................... You can just buy me a drink sometime. How does that sound?"

 

I said: "That sounds good! Let me know when you want that drink."

 

So, I saw him shortly after that and he asks where his present is along with making sure to start a conversation. I told him that it's not his birthday yet and that I couldn't bring a "drink" to work.

 

So, I was wondering if this is a gesture of him asking me out for a drink one night??? Cuz if it is, I am excited and would like to go out with him sometime soon since I have had this crush on him for a while.

 

Also, do you think it is appropriate to send him a special greeting on his b-day?

 

What do you all think?

It's really hard to say. He may still just be flirting with no real interest. He may actually be interested. He probably knows your interested so the fact that he hasn't asked you out is probably a bad sign.

 

Its not inappropriate to send him a special greeting. Everyone likes to be remembered on their birthday. It may score you points.

 

Good luck but I would not put my eggs in one basket with this guy.

I would say he is testing the water with you. Stop calling him at all and see if he contacts you! Guys love a challenge and you have to let him know you are worth fighting for!

I would say he is very interested but the more keen you seem the less of a challenge it will be for him. Dont you mention the drink and see how this progresses and let us know of any updates

Good luck
