This man situation

To set the scene, I've been out of the man/dating game for a looong time so I'm utterly clueless.

So I work in a restaurant and a lot of the customers are regulars and I get to know them well. I recently spoke with one of them about how my window wouldn't shut properly, just general moaning. The next day someone came in who I also engage in general chit chat with and gave done for months but hadn't seen for a few weeks and said he had heard I was having problems, he gave me advise how to fix it. It didn't work. He offered to come and fix it for me and I said yes please. He came round and sorted it for me. During the week he text and asked to to go out at the weekend but I had plans and said sorry but otherwise I would have. He then text back saying no problem but if I would like him to fix another home issue he would be willing to. I said I felt bad for taking up his time, he said its no problem so I said yes please. I saw him last week and he said he was getting the tools together and would let me know when. I said as long as he really doesn't mind, I will work around him and I'm really grateful. I do like him in a non friend zone way but it took me a while to realise as thisbis all foreign to me and he is so not my usual type. I suspected he liked me too but today he was standoffish and barely even said hello when he came in, I'm confused?!

Smile brightly at him. Laugh at his jokes. Keep us posted.

If he was standoffish then I'm sorry op but I wouldn't see him again. Give him a 20 for taking the time out to help you. Next time he is in the pub.

He was looking to date you and feels used because despite him saying it was OK, he clearly expected something from you in return. Therefore he is potentially worryingly entitled in thinking you owe him just because he helped you.

I'd give this one a wide swerve op.
