Is he flirting or friendly?

[Aliceband]

I collected my daughter from her friends tonight and her (divorced) dad asked if I wanted a glass of wine. He is nice. (I am divorced) was he being friendly or flirting?

It sounds quite flirtatious to me - why would he ask unless he wanted to get to know you better? I'm an old romantic and might be wrong, but if you like him, why not invite him round or suggest you go out for a casual drink on an innocent pretext and see what happens? If nothing else you could make a valuable friend. Maybe he's shy, or perhaps he'd just like someone to talk to, there's only one way to find out.

Sounds promising! Keep up your friendship and who knows where it migh lead?

Hi sorry to put a dampener on things but just be careful incase he wsa just being polite and trying to be friends with his daughters friends parents so that he can assess who is daughter is hanging around with and if they come from a good family! If he is flirting tho, you go girl!

Hi Alice. I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't take this as flirtacious. I'm not saying he doesn't like you, 'cos he may well do, but it may have just been a nice gesture as hectic suggests. If the situation arises again then it means you've made a good first impression and he enjoys your company, so just relax and see where it takes you. If you like the guy then give out subtle signals and then sit back and let him come to you. ;o)

If your good looking and slim, he was probably flirting.
But if your ugly and fat, he probably wasn't.
Hope this helps.
