Backstory - at my 25th HS reunion and talked to a ton of people I didn't necessarily hang out with in HS - we had a class of 700+ so I definitely didn't know everyone.
I became FB friends with some of them, including this one guy. We don't talk a lot, mostly "like" statuses or comment on a photo, etc. He's divorced with kids, but dates pretty regularly, not sure if he's dating anyone right now.
So....last night he posted about passing some exam for work. I said "Congratulations". Someone asked where he was working now and he said a town close to me. So then I said "hey, that's near where I live, nice area to work in".
Then....on my timeline this morning, he posted something about maybe meeting for lunch sometime since he's in the area and finding some good restaurants, etc.
I wouldn't be crushed if he's not flirting, because he's a great guy and I'm happy being friends with him. But, he's cute as can be so maybe I'm reading into it because I'd like it to be flirting? I'm not expert - you don't get to be 43 and single by being good at flirting! LOL

Maybe.... Maybe not. If this was a female class mate, you wouldn't think twice about it.... So go with an open mind!

I'm not an expert on flirting either. As someone who has been married 24 years, anything I ever knew has been forgotten!  I wouldn't concern myself too much about whether he is flirting or not. If you would like to meet up with him for lunch, I would message him on FB and say that having lunch together is a lovely idea, and casually suggest which days would suit you best. See how it goes. |

I don't know if that's "flirting" per se (to me, flirting would be something more along the lines of "lucky me!"), but he made the overture. Ask him for lunch!

Maybe he's testing the water himself by posing it in a "Well we are near each other and each have to eat anyway, so how about getting together" way. Go, and have fun. Who knows if something will develop.

I don't think it was flirting. But I do think that at the very least, he could be a good friend. I would have lunch with him and see what happens.

That's a nice invitation, he wants to get to know to see where it might lead.

It doesn't sound like flirting to me. He does seem interested in seeing you by asking if you wanted to meet for lunch sometime. My advice is don't rush it and let it unfold naturally. If there is a spark there you will know it soon enough.  |

It's so hard to tell from a Facebook post. Ask him out to lunch and see where it goes, flirting is much easier in person.

That sounds like conversations I've had in the past and I really hope guys on the receiving end didn't think I was flirting.

Probably too soon to tell, but... he did make an effort to go to your page and post - to me, he could have just said that in a reply comment....

I would suggest a great lunch place and go with no expectations other than a nice lunch. He's likely just putting his foot in the door and testing the waters.

Well, were you flirting when you noted he now lives close to you?
I"d suggest a place for lunch and reserve judgement about flirting. At this point it really doesn't matter.

I'd say no, he wasn't flirting. That said, go and have a good time catching up with him!

I do not consider it flirting. But, I am also one that would ask a friend to get together for lunch if I was going to be in their area. I am happily married and I would hope that if the friend happened to be a male, they were not reading anything into it other than lunch.
If you are both single, go to lunch, enjoy each other's company............then you can see if it leads to anything. Maybe you will have a good friend....maybe more, maybe less.

I agree with the others, it doesn't sound flirty but it does sound like he's definitely interested in seeing you again.Enjoy

I wouldn't think it was flirting, but I'm so out of the habit that I could be wrong. Let us know how the lunch goes.

I'd say its putting you both in a position for FUTURE flirting. Preliminary  Go out for sure, at the least you might get a great new actual friend. Who is a man. That has great value too. |
