Email flirtation

I've recently met someone through a work event and I sensed a bit of chemistry between us. I fancy taking it a bit further and we've been emailing back and forth. He send me this email below, but I am stumped. Do you think he wants to meet me or no??

"I am glad you didn't mind me emailing you. I didn't want to overstep the mark."

The night was great, really, though I did have a few more questions I didn't want to hold you up because I think time ran over. Maybe next time....

What do you think? Am I looking too much into it and should I just go pour some wine...

Of course he does. Suggest you meet over a drink.

Thank you Emageddon. Will email him back though obviously not ona Saturday night because I want him to think I am more interesting than watching eurovision in my pjs! Ha.

Course he does! Email him back, don't play it cool. I remember one very cool guy who I texted on a Saturday night and finished up by saying "speak soon, I guess you're out and about at the moment" and he replied within the hour and said "No... in tonight with a beer". It didn't make me think less of him, it made me think more of him that he was comfortable enough to not pretend when he could have done.

I'd say to your guy "Sure, happy to chat, can meet up for a coffee if that's easier?" (i.e. easier than waiting for the next work occasion. Or you can say drink if that seems more natural but coffee is slightly less date sounding if you are still feeling your way, even if it does end up being drinks not coffee).

He’s kind of asking you in an indirect way if he’s overstepping the mark....he wants guidance from you.
