Occasionally when I send him texts he will reply with a double entendre, it depends what it relates to.The last couple of times I have spoken to him I have had to borrow an axe off him to chop down some trees in my garden. Apart from saying he would love to see me doing that (I am a good aim so think he was taking the mickey out of that) he started to refer to the axe as a chopper and says 'you want my chopper do you with a cheeky laugh'. The last text I sent to him was could I borrow the axe again from him and he replied with this 'Ah...so...you want to get yer hands on me chopper eh!...My what a great tool it can be when used well and in good hands, be sure to have a firm grip as we don't want any slip ups now do we!..... should be at workshop all day tomorrow but call before you c*m. Just in case.I told him when I saw him that I liked the text and he laughed but made no more comment other than for me to delete it. When I picked up the axe from him he just say 'you have got my chopper in your hand now'. I like him alot obviously but don't want to take his texts the wrong way if they are jokey and there is no interest there. I assume it is just an innocent jokey text with no meaning behind it.

Life is short, just go for it. The worse that can happen is he is not interested and at least you can both remain friends as you have been doing for the past eight years.
Ask him over for dinner or drinks sometime. Or ask him to come help you chop down a tree and grab some beers on the way there and make it a day and go with the flow and see what happens. Just do it! Good luck.

 LOL...He is cheeky:))) I don't think men and women can truly just be friends. All of my male friends (single and married) have flirted with me one time or another in a similar fashion...testing the boundaries I think to see how I respond and what they can get away with.
Flirt away! Have fun! If the both of you are single, I hope a great relationship comes out of it.
