Anyone had a male friend talk to them every day?

It's a colleague, hardly see him in work but he messages me virtually daily, unless I message him first.
We're the same age and have a lot in common. We're going out with a few people from work tomorrow (we used to be in the same department but not anymore, but have mutual friends)
Anyway it's hard to understand his intentions. I'm not used to having a straight male want to talk to me so much unless some sort of interest.
We talk about anything, films, hobbies, travelling etc . It's not like flirty or inappropriate, but sort of banter sometimes.

If you are interested why not just ask him out?

Unless you've known them for years and years men don't tend to phone you every day unless they're interested IMO. Not to say they can't be friends but this certainly sounds like he wants more. Have fun tomorrow!

I have a male friend who phones me pretty much everyday. I don’t always answer though. He has a wife, whom I know really well and love to bits. She constantly tells him to stop bothering me lol.

We talk about football and music a lot and he likes to tell me all the gossip from where he lives. He has recently retired and he is on his own a lot, as his wife still works, so I think he is a bit lonely and bored. I suspect he is also a bit depressed . If I don’t answer, he will phone someone else.

I do make the effort to talk to him at least once a week, as I know his situation. It’s lovely to catch up with him, just not as often as he would like.

There is definitely not anymore to it and we absolutely don’t fancy each other.

I have a texter from work. Well, I had - I eventually took a step back.
I'm sure he fancies me but his lack of initiative made me lose interest. I gave all the nods to arrange a pub evening for us but he never did. Sure as hell he'd come for a date if I arranged it... But it doesn't "do" it for me.

So I'd say - give him a green light but if he takes no heed then I'm not sure it's worth pursuing.

I love a good romance story.

You can't not tell us the comment!?
