Okay I asked this guy that my company does business with out on Facebook (I had a hard time getting him alone because we were always around colleagues..). Well I didn't straight out ask him out, I invited him for a drink (just the two of us, no co-workers).

I'm not sure he got the hint that I like him...

He's from another country. Unfortunately he couldn't make it because he had dinner with clients that evening, although he said he would try to make it as soon as it ended (but I didn't want to wait.) And I can't ask him out again because he's thousands of miles away. He said he hoped to see me again.

Is it weird or desperate if I start messaging him out of the blue on Facebook? If he was interested in me he would have started a conversation with me already right? I'm really interested in this guy (I wouldn't mind moving to his country, even if we didn't get together so... i can tolerate long distance for now) and I'm torn on whether to continue probing and seeing whether he's interested or I'm just blind/not reading the signs that he's not interested.

His folks may have already chosen a wife for him.

Speaking from personal experience, just because a guy does not take the initiative with a girl does NOT mean that he's not interested.

I had a coworker who I could have sworn didn't like me. We worked together for five years. Then, years later he confessed to me that he had always had a huge crush on me but was too shy to do anything about it. I was shocked because he really didn't seem like he could tolerate my presence! But it turns out the nervousness was due to shyness, which manifested in a complete lack of action on his part.

Some guys just can't get up the courage to take initiative with women.

Just because a guy doesn't ask a woman doesn't mean he's not interested. Guys can be shy and afraid of rejection. If he's attracted to her, it will make him NOT ask her out.

Right. A really shy guy will RUN from a woman he's attracted to, rather than approach her.

I don't think he's shy, though he's definitely more on the reserved side. I'm not sure what's the case for non-shy guys.

Which country is it?

Are you saying you want to move to this country because of him or because you want to live there?
