What do you think he was looking for? Do I even need to respond? He was looking for a reaction back from you. Not much of one either, maybe just kinda play around back with him. Nudge him back, it's not a big deal...
In response to your first question: He likes you. I'll answer your second question with a three-fold question of my own: If he was looking for a positive response (and I think he was), A. How did YOU want to react? B. Did YOU react the way you wanted to react or did you not? C. Why or why not? The reason why I'm asking this is because you're asking me how you should have reacted if he was expecting a positive response, but you didn't say what kind of response YOU wanted to give him. Did YOU want to give him a positive response or did YOU NOT? I've seen similar posts from you before and the impression I always get is you keep trying to analyze this guy's behavior, but somehow you don't want to take the responsibility of making your own decisions about the matter. So he likes you. Do you like him? If so, then what do YOU decide? If not, then again what do YOU decide? If you say you like him and want to be with him but you can't because he's married - then the question is still, What do YOU decide? Because only you can make decisions for yourself, and only you can live your life. Peace, Musikero
Play your own game, not his. The dude's obviously trying to mack you. So if he is, what are YOU going to do?
