Search Results: flirting over text

It sounds silly but he’s in his late 40’s and recently divorced….
He seems to flirt back, been complementing me more recently. He called me smart and then his cheeks went red and he looked down.

He seems to enjoy my flirting (he has a big smile on his face when I flirt) and he’s been blushing a lot around me lately… and conversations have started getting deeper. I dunno.

What’s the chances that he likes me back?

I think I am too young for him though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also he’s not conventionally attractive and a bit out of shape so maybe he hasn’t made a move because he doesn’t think I actually like him? Not sure. Or maybe he’s not interested?

I also tell him a bit about my sexual experiences and funny sex stories and he’ll happily sit there and listen with a smile on his face… surely he would’ve said something if I had crossed a line? Or changed the subject?

He’s a very sweet man and he sometimes seems quite nervous around me. I’d also say he’s sensitive and a bit submissive. Which I find adorable. 🥰
But something strange is that he calls me mate over text… hmmm…. Is he trying to make it clear that he only sees me as a mate? Or would he just call everyone mate?

My best friend [19M] and I [18F] are pretty close. He actively makes plans to meet up, stays on call with me throughout the day (initiates it himself, always) for no apparent reason, teases me, compliments me, sends cute flirty reels AND we flirt quite a bit over text too. In a lot of ways, he treats me like he's my boyfriend.

He often sends me couple reels/memes that say "when my girlfriend..." etc, but today he followed one of those up with a text saying "so you're my pretend girlfriend till i find an actual girlfriend to send relatable memes to." Why would he say that? Was it a dumb way to flirt since we have no labels, or was that him setting a boundary?

He was nice to me. He would cover me for breaks without asking when we first met. He initiated every conversation but didn't initiate conversations with me as much as he did with other people. blushes and smiles, with eye contact when talking (but he blushes around everyone) he told me twice that he missed me when i missed work. Avoided looking at me when around each other sometimes, but then would stare at me and smile at me other times. Tried to touch my hand when grabbing the same thing, i think. I felt like there was tension when we were around each other. He was a flirt, but he flirted with everyone. Would text me first and ask to play video games together (online) offered to hug me as an apology (over text) when i mentioned he did something that was rude. At one point, he was super dry over text, but then he started being more effort when texting soon before he quit, making me thing he wanted a friendship outside of work. Called me his friend. When i would talk to him with his friend around, his friend would smirk at us.
Then, It was his last day of work. I didn't want to make him feel bad, so when i was saying bye, i had nothing to say. he said i looked happy, but i told him i wasn't. He offered me his work shirts, and then before i could respond, he drove away really fast. I texted him and told him i would miss him, and i enjoyed working together and to text me anytime. He said that was sweet and "you too" then he started being REALLY dry over text and taking like 3+ hours to send a one word response. I thought he was just busy, but i got a weird vibe. I ignored that feeling until he decided to stop by where we work, and he waited until i got off to stop by. I texted him about it, and he was dry again. The next day, his friend was VERY standoffish around me. My friend told him i missed him and he said he didn't believe her, and then said "that's nice" Did i do something wrong? So confused
