We are now on facebook and have been talking on and off (cause I've been busy) for the last 3 days. He then mentions that hes been really interested in learning my lamguage but he can't find a teacher... He adds, "hint, hint" with a winking face at the end of that statement.I like this guys, but don't want to get ahead of myself while things are still new. Is that him indicating his interesting? Or is he generally only looking for a real teacher? Does he want to meet again or have a date?All I said was that I don't usually mentor, but I could definitely make an exception. With a winkey face too ;)

 My 'take' on this guy is he's not real savey on the old "hint-hint' thing and that can have a double meaning. I think he just wants a teacher and you may be trying to read something else into it. Lots of luck.

 If what he actually wanted was a language tutor, he could easily hire one. Sounds to me like he's flirting with you.
Your response to him was perfect because it's left the door open for him to ask you out on a date if that's what he's after. The ball is in his court now, so wait and see what he says.
Good luck and best wishes!

It sounds like he sees the tutoring as a way to spend time with you while getting to know you better. Plus your language will help develop a common interest.
If it were me, I would agree to set up a tutoring session for an hour and see how it feels with him. Take the time to get to know him better before jumping to see where things could lead.
Don't worry so much about whether he wants a date or just a teacher. If you're interested in him, go for the opportunity and see where it leads.
Good luck!
