i met up with an old falme on saturday night for a quick drink, but now im getting mixed signals. How can i tell if he actually likes me or just wants to be friends...? after meeting with him i went out with a couple of girlfriends, i texted him thanking him for the drink... he said " my pleasure, sorry i couldnt stay longer, have a good night "x i said maybe i can buy your a drink next time" he said yeah i think u should lol x

the next day we exchanged text's and he asked if i met a guy that night while out or if i got any guys numbers... to which my reply was no.

A few weeks ago i went on a date... and he seemed to quize me alot about it... like did u have a good time, are u seeing him again etc..!

Does his interest in my personal life mean he is interested...? how can i know if he still finds me attractive...? Ive hurd on the gratvine that he is seeing someone.. whe asked he doesnt really say anything although he said to me that he is no where near the settleing down stage..! What do i do... is he playing me...? for the record we text or email nearly everyday too (",) x

DrPsych agony auntYou say this man is an old flame and I assume you have had a relationship with him in the past that didn't work out. You have to think long and hard about rekindling this flame because it fell apart in the past for some reason. I also think he is being evasive about his love life. There is a huge difference between stating he is not ready for settling down and not verifying if he has a girlfriend. He maybe saying he is not ready for settling down with anyone, including you, and is just out for some fun. Reading between the lines of your post I would think you like him a great deal and should take extra care that he doesn't use you for a bit of adult-fun and then move on. You have also got to think about his definition of acceptable behaviour if he really has a girlfriend. If you were dating him and he was communicating in a flirty way with another woman...how would you feel?

I think he is interested. But you need to take it slow and continue to get to know him to be sure, because just now he's seemingly insecure and you've heard he might be seeing someone else. Just take it slow.
