About a month ago this man showed up at the local club where I go. He was an acquaintance of the friends that I was with. He come and sat at the table by me. He said very little. He would get up and leave and then come back, still never saying much. After I left he told one of my friends "I don't guess she liked me, she wouldn't talk to me". !!

A couple of other times he came back to the club (he never had been coming there before the first time I saw him) and he just stares. He finally approached me the other night as we were leaving. I told him that we were going to eat breakfast, did he want to go? "No, I have already eaten, but thank you". Awkward pause, "See ya later".

Okay, this man is in his early 50's I have been told that he is shy but, OMG! Is he interested or WHAT?

Yea he is interested..scared of rejection..he is playing hard to get..so he will not get burnt..never dated a guy in his 50's but I am guessing they still play the game..even at that age.

i don't think he's playing a game. he's just shy and afraid of rejection and making an idiot of himself. if your interested you might help things along by saying so. some people need a verbal ok to take the next step. i at times get mixed signals and need that at times, it helps. so good luck with that.

I agree with Cinderella here. He is interested, just afraid to make a move, and yes, even at this age guys can be afraid to make a move. Talk to him, see what he is like, and go from their.

Ugh sounds like my nightmare. Yes he likes you, no he probably won't make a move unless you do. I know..I am a shy guy, well I was...I'm a little better now. Just do it the opposite way - you approach him, make a move. He's just a bit of a panzy.
