 Well you answered the question. He flirts, you like it, he continues. Not rocket science really.
A
female
reader, anonymous, writes (22 April 2011): I'm the OP. YES he flirts with me and YES, I welcome the attention. He also told me he won't know what to do with himself while she's away...

The reality is this. Nobody on this site was part of the conversation. Nobody but you I mean. It is impossible to know the context of the statement or the tone. It is also impossible to know what he is actually thinking. In the end, it only really matter what you do with it. Does he flirt with you? Do you invite the attention?

 It depends on the type of person he is,the tone of his voice, and the look in his eyes.

IT'S JUST INNOCENT.(A hinter would add... "So, what are you doing while my wife's away? Why not stop by later and we could chat some more?")

 Wife's away and Cat wants to play. But, as Eyes said, the real heart of the matter is why this is important to you.

I say he's dropping a hint...he wants you to get in the sack with him.

A
reader, anonymous, writes (18 April 2011): Context OP, it all depends on the context. You'll find out soon enough what he meant. If it was innocent then you won't hear about it again and he won't invite you for some "coffee". If it wasn't then you may find yourself waking up next to him after agreeing to meet for "coffee".

 Either this guy is terribly naive to not realise how his words could be interpreted by you (not to mention the other women he may have repeated this to) or he has all the finesse of a scolded dog on heat.

A

A
reader, anonymous, writes (18 April 2011): Depends, he might want to know if you're free to water the plants or feed the cat while she's away...in case he forgets!

 my first thought is you WANT it to mean something.
my friend telling me his wife is away for a few days means "oh do you want to come for dinner"
a man I want to have a thing with telling me he's home alone for a few days means "oh baby let the good times roll"
why does it matter to you?

 I hate questions like this. Oh please help me figure out if I can become a mistress... wtf.

 Is there a reason why this matters to you one way or another?

A

Could be a variety of reasons but we need more details....has he flirted with you before? Is he a hermit? Is he a player confined to a marriage that he constantly disses at work?
I mean if you are already bugged out about it then your intuition is telling you something.

 It could be either. He could be simply stating a fact, or implying that he's interested in partying while she's away. He could be coming onto you, but that's not a very smooth way about it. He may just be excited to have the house to himself for a few days and is sharing that with people close to him.
