So theres a guy who i see once a month due to work and he will flirt and so on just with me even though we have a big group.

Today i emailed him internally stating: i've had a really naff day!are you free for a drink after work?I can ask ..(a mutual friend) to come to. i understand if you cant.

He did respond quickly saying: hey hope your ok, sorry i have got a few things to do with family later but hopefully soon we could arrange something.

Hi

Its a waiting game, you made first move now it is up to him to make the next one. It was short notice so he probably did have plans.

k_c100 agony auntErm not too sure really - it wasnt a flat out no but then again you didnt make it clear you were asking him out on a date either. You said you'd bring someone else along (the mutual friend) so that made it seem more like a group of friends going out for a drink, rather than a date - so he might have missed your point entirely.

I think you've got 2 options really: either dont email him back and see if he does eventually email you to re-arrange, or email him saying "no problem, let me know when your next free and we'll go for that drink".

You will have to leave the ball in his court for a while - he's not massively keen on you if he isnt making an effort to see you outside of work so I dont think you've got that much of a chance with him to be honest. Might just be best to move on and forget about it.

Could be.

The true test is what he does in the next few weeks. If he was really busy with family and he is interested, he'll make his move.

But, more than likely, he just not that into you (not that there is anything wrong with you, just the way things go for any and every women on planet Earth) because if he was, he would have made it happen. Just saying, don't hold your breathe for this one.

Good for you for putting it out there, now you don't have to wonder. And if he has any taste at all, he'll know what's good for him:)

Do you know if He has a wife or girlfriend?

I would leave it at that for now, if he's interested he will follow up.
