An older guy is giving me some signs but I'm not 100% sure if he is flirting or being nice/playful. I had a chance to work with him in a project and he has been always respectful. This guy has been divorced for at least 3 years and does not have an official girlfriend as far as everyone knows. Here is the story: when I worked with him on the project , he suddenly leaned into me, like trying to show me something in the computer... Very close to my back. I disregarded this. Then, I would send emails - work related- and got no response from him. Then, on a Christmas gathering I was standing in the corner and suddenly he looks at me, winks and says hi. Sometime goes by and he is passing by my office and asks me how my holidays were, and he disclosed to me that he has one daughter who will be graduating from college... Etc.. Without me asking for that information. Then, he leaves shyly after that and I don't get to talk to him but some months later when we had to work on another project. I felt a bit ignored since he never replied to my work related emails and tried to behave very formal with him. To my surprise, he was very friendly with me when he saw me, was talking to me and again winked at me and smiled... Then pretended he could not hear me well and placed his hand on his ear for me to get closer and talk to him. He proceeded to squat down and talk to me in that position- at below eye level even though there were plenty of chairs he could sit nearby. One thing I notice is that he stares intensely sometimes when talking to me.. It makes me feel like he is trying to analyze me or absorb my words...it does intimidate me when he stares like that. Sometimes, he looks at me and smiles with a grin and a sweet smile and sometimes he is serious and business like. The last thing that happened was that I ran into him suddenly and I sort of startled and he proceeded to apologize and touched my arm at that time. Is he being playful, friendly, or just trying to test me or flirt just for the fun of it??? Guys and ladies, what do you think he is trying to communicate here?
Thanks for your replies ��

Reason: .
Sorry, I agree. Seems like normal human interaction. Nothing particularly flirty here. Wait for a clear signal, like a invitation to a date. Otherwise, you are just trying to attempt to read his mind.

Sounds like a nice, friendly guy with good boundaries.
Some people are also just shy. You might want to try to ask questions to find out without actually saying what you think.
