What does it mean when a guy keeps telling me he's single?

Question

In every conversation I have w/this guy he throws it into the conversation that he's a single man. He flirts w/me only when we're directly assigned to the same duty post or when he passes through my work area if no one is around otherwise he won't acknowledge that I exist. Has his friends constantly mentioning him to me in a relationship sense. He's changed his route home so he could see which way I'm driving. Then tells me he's always busy. What the heck does he want?

He's interested in you, but he probably doesn't know if you are interested. He probably also realizes that making any kind of a move towards a woman in the workplace is borderline suicidal. Like seriously; the shit storm that would rain down on him if he made a move on you is totally not worth the effort. If you want to date him, you need to get after it and be ready to document the hell out of the everything (keeping records is something I've started doing, simply to protect myself from women I've dated). Also, you really should tell HR if you do start dating. By telling HR, you're protecting everyone involved.

Sound like he is actually married and wants you to have sex with you but is afraid of getting caught by a Superior officer is why he only flirts with you when you along so there's no eye witnesses that would be able to Collaborate Any accusations should you report him to his Superior

He's trying to get you to date him. But now that he sees it's not working, he now wants to play hard to get to get you to now want and chase him. Let him play those games elsewhere. If he doesn't get that you're not interested then the problem is not you, it's really him. But maybe, it is sorta your problem by not telling him. So yeah, do just tell him. But be respectful at least. I don't believe he's a bad guy, but he is not respecting you either. And besides, if you working together that is a big no-no. Why flirt in private but not in public? I don't agree with flirting but that is a red flag.

Duh! He likes you and is Interested. What else would he be wanting? It's pretty obvious what he wants, you're either Just in denial about his Interest or you already know. These questions that you are continuously asking are meaningless, they're too obvious and you know the answers to them already is what I bet. He keeps telling you he's single because he wants you to know that he's available, why else would anyone keep telling you that they're single persistently like that? He's making himself pretty clear in terms of hints and you already can't tell?

SarahsSummer · Answer

He wants YOU to want HIM.

Petra150 · Answer

Could mean a lot, but be careful to jump to conclusions. But the opposite also can be false, I always tell pretty fast about my fiancee, as many guys usually get me wrong, as I'd love to flirt, and love the attention I alway get from especially guys. But I know were to draw a line.

cunnilinguist · Answer

He likes you but takes it slow to build up tension while he's figuring out what exactly he's feeling or how strongly, while at the same time allowing you to choose your reaction - if you feel something for him you should show SOME SIGN.

Iron_Man · Answer

He wants to date you but wants to play it cool so he doesn't look, desperate

ivbnlknfru · Answer

Sounds like he wants you for some side action... He probably has a regular girlfriend, but its not a committed relationship so he considers himself single... id brush him off when he flirts... see how he responds... make him chase you aka work for it...

el_Te_de_la_Rosa · Answer

What do you know about him?
Do you like him?
Would you like to date or have a relationship?

You can tell him what you like and ask him to be honest. If he really likes you, he should reapect your wish. Set your rules, girl.

foxrider77 · Answer

He just likes your personality, oh he wants to hit that booty, oh I mean he’s a hard working young man, oh yeah he would like to get with. I’m sure you two could go for coffee. I forget to tell you he just wants to hit it.

slatyb · Answer

Would you date him if he asked? Seems a bit cowardly that he hasn't asked you out already. If not, then tell his friends that you aren't interested -- they will tell him.

"He changed his route home" -- that seems pretty creepy to me.

ArrRenn · Answer

One of two things: He’s single. Or, he’s not. Begging the question, why so often? Is he trying to place a suggestion? or does he think you’re not listening?

Johnson7319 · Answer

RUN!! He's an immature fool that's so afraid of rejection that he won't approach his infatuation of you front on and like a man I would avoid this "man".

Truthatanycost · Answer

He's just a tease, and a flirt but probably has no real intentions. He just enjoys the tension and may be a little obsessed. The idea of you, is more attractive to him than the reality of it.
