There was someone at work that I asked out but he decided against it due to the fact that we worked together, however it started a mutual friendship. The thing is that he left work for another company and I thought our frienship was growing but as soon as I ask him out, which was just a casual catch up, he has barely emailed me since. I have a lot of platonic male friends so I couldn't see why this would be an issue. When we worked together he would act shy around me, he would often initiate emails and we would continue to email all day, but then other times he would seem distant around me ie if a group of us were going out to lunch and I was there he wouldn't go yet if I didn't go he would. I'm really confused as to whats going on inside his head but how do u ask someone why they are acting weird without causing offence?

I like that last reply. Be honest. Be earnest. Just walk over next time you see him and say "What's up?" If you're not embarresed by the topic of conversation, chances are that he won't be either

I don't think he's being weird as such, he seems more to be staying clear of giving you any indication that he's interested in you. You say the second 'asking-out' was casual but he may well have thought that you'd want more, given your history. You may well have platonic male friends but that's got no bearing on how he feels about a friendship with you. To be honest I think you wanted and perhaps read more into your relationship with this guy. He doesn't sound particularly keen even on being friends. That's not weird, I'm afraid, that's just his choice. But there are other people who will respond to a friendly person like yourself so put your efforts into meeting them instead.
