Question Posted Wednesday November 15 2006, 11:54 am
OK, I have been working at this one place as a cashier & the man upstairs always comes to visit & hang out with us after he gets off work. Well, we have been flirting & teasing for a while now. He is always staring at me while I am waiting on customers. He walks me to my car when I leave & we even stand out there & talk a little bit. Well, anyway, me & my friend decided to pay him a visit at his apt. one Saturday night. He seemed very happy we were there & we were drunk & I could tell he was a little drunk. Well, that night he was very openly flirting. He told me I was pretty & constantly kept touching me. Not in a groping way, just arm around me, hand on my back, you know, that sort of thing. Well, everything was fine & we finally left & went home. The next work day came & he come over as usual. But, this time he was a little standoffish. I mean he was staring at me some & smiled at me too, but he wasn't teasing or acting like he usually does. It was almost like he was a little shy. So, what exactly does this mean? Does he not like me anymore? Also, what can I do to rectify the situation? Thanks for any help.

BitsandPieces answered Wednesday November 15 2006, 5:04 pm: He may be confused about you, also. When he was flirting, did you respond or just laugh? Maybe he was unclear or you are because of the drinking? You should ask him to go to lunch with you or for a bite or drink after work sometime just casually. Don't start acting weird or overthink it all because of this. Continue to talk and laugh and get to know him. I would avoid showing up drunk, again. Gay men have seemed very flirtatios with women on occasion, but that does not mean that they are interested in a sexual relationship. Are you for certain that this guy is straight? Also, he might be shy now that he thinks you are interested in a relationship and he is not sure how to proceed. With so many possibilities the thing to do is keep the relationship going until you know for sure and give him a chance. Remember, friendly as before and if you don't act weird, he will probably stop acting weird, too. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

Or maybe he thinks he did something else when he was drunk?? Just actually try asking him, or a friend about whats going on, or make a little joke to him, and be like 'hey! dont' wanna talk to me anymore?!' He should go along with it, and you'll get your answer eventually. =) [ XkittyOkatX's advice column | Ask XkittyOkatX A Question ]
