why did he make such a statement
there is this guy im somewhat close to at work...but he isn't a co-worker but we talk all the time....I guess u can say we are just building friends.....well I was eating my lunch (tacos to be exact) and he came in the breakroom teasing me as usual and he says you always eatin I said yup, he was like I see you got tacos, I said "yeah, I deserve this" and he said with seriousness in his tone/face "I think you deserve a little bit more than a taco dinner" and he repeated himself again, smiled at me and walked away...... I didn't say anything, i just kept eating.....can anyone decipher this? Thanks

Yeah im gonna agree with dangernerd here. He said it a certain way because he was looking for you to say "well what are you gonna take me out and buy me something better?" or something that effect and when you didnt say it, he took it as a rejection on your part.
The only way i can think of salvaging this is by making a joke of it with him the next time you buy tacos and then when he walks into the break room or where ever you are, laugh and say "hey look i bought tacos again!!!" keep it light and then say the thing about him thinking you deserve better.
Then if it ever comes up later, just say when he said it that you didnt immediately pick up on what he was really getting at. ; )
Ask him to come sit down and eat with you so that he knows you still like him on some level and see if he'll do it. Openly inviting him and saying something fun like "hey you gonna come sit with me and eat or what??" with a big smile will make him feel welcome.
good luck!

Well, it sounds possible he put himself out there to see if you would let him take you out to eat someplace nice... he even made the offer twice, and you wouldn't even respond.
If that was the case, you can expect a different attitude the next time you meet. People don't like rejection, which is why he said it the way he did.
At the very least, you know he likes you, because he thinks you deserve better things in life.
If you like him, you might think about trying to salvage this, and if you don't, then just let it go.
All the best!
