Guys/Girls: I would like to ask your honest opinion...This guy I work with started a few months ago...I was always kind and friendly to him, never flirty...Now, since day 1, the guy sent me signals of interest, asking personal questions, wanting to know about my immediate family, winking, subtle touching ..(shoulder only of course), and always trying to suggest to go out with him. He asked me my e-mail, I gave it to him. He e-mailed me almost every day, with a friendly/flirty tone...I was kind of ignoring his suggestions, but then decided to give him a chance. I said yes to go out with him to have some coffee...Now, he said he had something to do the day that I suggested, so we rescheduled...he stood me up...texted me like nothing happened... what's up with him????

Sounds like he's playing you a bit.

I wouldn't bother anymore with that one.

Maybe he wanted payback for you ignoring his suggestions.

If he wanted payback it means he doesn't care about me ..I guess.. Men role is to try to court a girl, and if he is truly interested he should show it by being consistent... this guy is a bit older than me..may be he was playing...why???

That would make him a game player and a moron IMO.

I'm sorry honey, but you're about to get swarmed by many angry and bitter men on this forum.

I'm just warning you.

Is it now? Do you date often?

It certainly wasn't nice of him to stand you up. I'd at least see if he had a reason before pulling up the anchor. Maybe something legit came up. If he blows you off, he's not interested. There's really no need to know why since this was never really a relationship to begin with. Just be happy it wasn't five years into the relationship that he did this to you.

Why not ask him what happened with the coffee date?

Could be a million reasons.

He got sick
He just wanted to see if you would want him (ego boost)
Payback as I said before
Doesn't know how to court a lady
Immature
Changed his mind
Is a flaky person
Social awkward (he doesn't know what to do now that he has your attention)

Unless you ask him your not going to know honestly.

I just find it interesting that a girl who was annoyed by a guy being persistent and going out of her way to say how she wasn't really interested but gave in just for the sake and set up a date is out of her mind thinking about the guy because the said guy supposedly stood her up.

So what if he had showed up on time with flowers and compliments?
