When a guy likes your hat, why do he hit my hat and then stroke my arm?

Doesn't make sense... and there's no context to work with. "When a guy likes your hat" isn't the same as asking something common like when a guy smiles at you or something. He sounds like a weirdo.

Sorry, I give you more understanding about it. He came up to me and started talking to me and when he said he liked my hat, he basically tap my hat. Then he stroke my arm And we starting talking about hats and have a good conversation. I told him I liked his hat on social media. he said he needs to get himself another hat.

Plus, He is 41 and I am 28. He kelp looking at me, then he squeeze my hand and holds it before. He gave me a very tight side hug. Then, it was times that he stood right next to me and stood there. To have my arm touch his I guess. Plus, he kelp sitting in back of me or close to me but, not to the point we was sitting next to eachother. Now, last last Tuesday, it seems he wanted to speak to be but, turn quickly out of the blue. So, today he look at me a lot but, when I look at him he stand next to the pole so I don’t see him or something. Then, when we talked he tap my hat and then stroke my arm.

The lack of context is terrible for me, but I suspect bowenw is on the right track

That's much better with these infos thanks, so this guy was a complete stranger, is that right?

[LUSHABLU]

No I knew him for almost about a year

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

ha lol I will get my full context, I will get it, slowly but surely 😆

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

so, what do you want to know, if you know this guy really, what is the mystery you are looking at?

[LUSHABLU]

I really want to know does he like me. He is 41 and I am 28. He kelp looking at me, then he squeeze my hand and holds it before. He gave me a very tight side hug. Then, it was times that he stood right next to me and stood there. To have my arm touch his I guess. Plus, he kelp sitting in back of me or close to me but, not to the point we was sitting next to eachother. Now, last last Tuesday, it seems he wanted to speak to be but, turn quickly out of the blue. So, today he look at me a lot but, when I look at him he stand next to the pole so I don’t see him or something 😂. Then, when we talked he tap my hat and then stroke my arm.

Finally, you give me the full context, now we're talking right ! Do you see the immense difference between your super short and blurry initial question and now? That's two different worlds ! :D

Okay, so I think bowenw was totally right in assuming this guy is flirting, playfully. To me, this is a seduction process where he sends you physical signals, regularly and politely, to make sure you notice his interest in you. I've seen myself using this non-verbal method, when I didn't know how to voice my interest, so I used gestures instead, like this. This is adorable 😊

But... Don't take my word for it, and most of all, are you interested in him?

[LUSHABLU]

I am actually am

[LUSHABLU]

Sorry, I am

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Then I wish you good moments with this guy, you are both interested in each other. If you really want a confirmation, starts doing exactly what he does, his formula is simple, just replicate it. Send signals for him the same way he sends signals for you, peacefully :)

I think it was a way to be playful and flirt.
