A wink is like a silent message being passed between two people when the situation is not the best for passing on any spoken words. It is also the things you;ve already been told by the other advisor.
Here's one of my experiences of having a strange/unknown by me, man wink at me. I was a young mom early thirtys and on the escalator coming down, holding one child in my arms and two others I was watching closely to make sure they held onto the rail, and coaching them again how to step off at the bottom. All of a sudden I felt eyes watching me and looked up to see a man on the up escalator who'd been watching me interact with my kids and he gave me a wink.
I took that as a compliment, him choosing to give me kudo's for even venturing out into a dept. store with 3 kids in tow to begin with, for doing a good job keeping my chattering girls in control, and also maybe a bit of the personal compliment,"You look really good for a mother of three. It made me feel good, made my day.
Now on the other hand, some people don't use the wink correctly. I have seen it used on dating sites. There is a button to click on that means you are sending a 'wink' to the other person. It is not an in person wink of the eye. This written 'wink' message that shows up in your dating inbox simply means that the guys who sent it were too chicken to write to you but liked your looks. Rarely do you get winks because they read your profile and like you for who you say you are inside. Don't pay any mind to these kinds of winks either. A guy really interested on a dating site will write a good long letter to you instead of "Hi, I think you're really hot looking." or "Are you there? Can we talk cus I think we'd make a great match, when he has no photo and nothing written in his profile.
Another wink is the kind I'd given my husband when a child who put her tooth under her pillow and got nothing left by the tooth fairy comes running up to tell us. As I spin my tale in explanation, I wink at the husband cus he now knows I forgot to put money under the pillow last night...its my job and I am saying "Well, the toothfairy must have had more kids to visit than she had time. I'm sure she'll come tonight, just put the tooth back. He and I can't say anything out loud cus of the kids, but the wink is the untold sharing of the fun of pretending to be the tooth fairy and having messed up.
So as you can see, it can mean just about anything. If you are wondering if it is a serious form of flirting...no it's not. A guy who is truly interested does show some definite signs, body language that is mainly all subconscious thought driven, not intentional like a wink.

That he acknowledged your presence. He may like you, he may be flirting, he could be making a cheesy joke, he may be saying hello, or he may be giving you the "go" signal for a secret mission you forgot you'd planned with him. He doesn't dislike you, but don't read toooo much into it, it's not a marriage proposal.
