A few weeks ago we spent the day together with a social group and he got really intense - sticking really close to me, leg touching under the table, holding eye contact way longer than normal, touching my arm all the time, and saying he thinks I'm amaing.Once I got over the shock (he really likes me? But he's young and fit.....) I was thinking this could be the start of something good, but since it happened we've barely seen each other and its like nothing ever happened.Why?!! Is he shy? Embarrassed? Regretting it? Waiting til we get some alone time? Or was the whole thing just a wind up? Aaargh!

They like to play and flirt with them in order to reach some sort of approval or reciprocal response...it boosts their self esteem especially because it comes from someone who seems "off limits".
Look, men and women a like do and say what is really important to them. If he doesn't call or email you it means that he is not serious and just enjoys the occasional flirt and reaffirmation of his esteem. Because of what you have said I doubt he wants any sort of relationship, just testing the water.
I am sure the next time he sees you he will continue to flirt with you, or he may even flirt with someone else in front of you. It is all about fun not commitment.
Sorry to say...but move on...you can do sooo much better.

We've emailed in the meantime but its been all business and I've been too afraid to come straight out and ask in case it was just a wind up or he's wishing it hadn't happened!
