Friendly or flirty, how to tell the difference?

Question - (26 April 2015) 3 Answers - (Newest, 27 April 2015)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hello there

I have been a member of a Facebook group for a few months. The group is for people who are interested in history and has a couple of thousand members. It's a great place to chat to people about our interests in history, share photos etc etc.

Recently there was a bit of a problem with the group and the admin team asked for the support of the members. So I (along with hundreds of other members) gave my support. Happily all is resolved and the group continues.

The day after everything had been resolved, one of the admin team messaged me to say thank you for my support. I replied to say that the group was worth supporting and told him how much I enjoyed the group. He then messaged back and told me how much he appreciated my comments on his posts (which are on a particular subject that we're both interested in). I told him how much I enjoyed his posts. I didn't expect a response as it felt like the end of the conversation.

However, the next day he messaged back - a long message about how much he appreciates members like me and talked about his role as one of the admin in the group.

We're both in our late 40s and both UK based. I am single, which he knows. But I don't know what his relationship status is as his profile doesn't state.

My question is: Do you think he's just being friendly or is he flirting with me? He's seen my photo, so he knows what I look like :-)

Thank you all for your help.

Hello, the OP here.

Thank you for your response, Honeypie. I think you could be right and he may just be being friendly. I just wasn't sure.

A group of us are arranging a visit to a medieval house this summer, and he's coming along. So I will look forward to the visit and assume that he's just being friendly.

Honeypie agony auntI forgot to mention:

He sticks to talking about the posts and Facebook not about his private life or yours.. THAT is why I presume he is just being friendly.

If he started to comment on a new hairdo or picture (that has nothing to do with the Facebook group) or he asked you out, THEN I would presume interest in YOU as a person, not a "group member".

Honeypie agony auntSo far? He is just being friendly.

I would not read more into his messages for now. Now IF he asks you out for a dinner, lunch, trip to museum.... then I would presume there is more of an interest there.
