 Now that you have explained the situation regarding why he has to wait before going out with you then it all makes perfect sense. He does like you and he is flattered (took it as a compliment) that you asked him out. I'm sure he'll keep to his word once the trial is over and he's free to get to know you better. ;o)

 I think you've won. You made your point, he knows you're interested. Now, you have to respect that there is something holding him back at the moment. Perhaps he's ending a relationship. If so, you're lucky. You've met a man with integrity. Afterall, he could ahve just told you no. He was polite and flattered. Flattered means it made him feel good that you took notice of him. We allenjoy that. It validates us somewhat.

I think you will have to take things slowly at first so that you both have time to work ou twhat you mean to eachother. You say something about a "Certain Situation". Could this situation lead to problems in the relationship later on? I don't think anyone can say what he meant when he said he was flattered... it could mean two completely different things. I think you need to talk to him and spend more time with him to work out what he specifically menat.all the bestxxx

 Flattered means that he appreciated that you asked him out for a drink. If you think about it; when you asked him out for that drink, the gesture says "I think you're a nice person and I would like to spend some time with you", and that's one of the nicer compliments a person can get.
Now, I'm afraid that he may not have liked you "that way" (or he felt it was inappropriate to go out with you because he's in a relationship already), because what kind of situation can keep a person occupied and too busy for drinks for MONTHS?!
Still, kudos to you for asking him; I don't know what kind of person you are, but for some it's really difficult to work up the courage to ask someone out.
