He would also sometimes rub my shoulder. Although I was always polite and professional with him, I never showed an interest back because we work together. Well I guess I started to like the attention so one day I flrted with him back. His reaction? His face lit up and then he got this love sick look in his eyes, and then he looked embarrassed and walked away! I think I really freaked him out! Now he barely talks to me, but I still catch him staring at me and this one time he even stuttered around me. So my question is what is going on with him? And why hasnt he asked me out?

Some guys are great at flirting when they don't think there is a chance anything happening with it, and then the freeze up when they find out that something could happen.
Don't be upset with him, he's just a little shy. Be more subtle with your flirting and make him feel comfortable.

 I think this guy is shy, try talking to him and make him feel comfortable around you. I don't think he has gone off you, the likellhood is he was abit taken back that you reciprocated the flirting and he got scared.
After you have chatted a few times and you feel things are good, suggest you both go out and do something one weekend, i bet he will jump at the chance.
Good luck x

 Have you considered this guy maybe shy? Maybe you should just try talking to him more, or even ask him out yourself. Considering you dont talk much right now, you probably dont have much to lose. Take care xxx
