I'm new to the dating scene as I have been in a long-term relationship for a number of years so I need some help please to understand the signs.This guy told a mutual friend that he had been "trying to get with me for months". After a few drinks in the pub I plucked up the courage to ask him if he meant this. However, it was very busy and I ended up simply saying to him that I wanted to ask him a question but that it would keep for another time. He asked me if it was personal and I said "yes" he replied "The answer is yes". This took me aback and he noticed and said "look you've gone all shy again". What could "yes" mean? He had no idea what I was going to say, so it's difficult to know if this is a positive or negative reply. How do I bring the subject up again without looking foolish if he's not interested? I know this sounds trivial but I would really appreciate some tips on how to proceed.

he probably thought you were going to ask him to be with you, and his answer was yes. but to be sure just ask him, and you dont have to think you will sound stupid or anything, bc if he thinks you sound stupid then he isnt worth it.

 Uncle Phil you will make the lady blush!!!
I think when we know what we are looking for we don't beat about the bush the two of you seem to have a mutual attraction i think he knew what you were going to ask and replied with a yes because he wants to see you again look don't be shy we are only going to ever get one shot at certain things don't blow it over shyness you go for it girl!! If he is not interested do you think he would have said YES??

Something like "Would you like to take me on a winter break to Bermuda?" (or Blackpool or wherever) or maybe "Would you like to get into my underwear?". The possibilities are quite endless.
If it's what you want to do, give him the come-on. Looks like he's willing!
