Spunky,
He sounds like a great guy. He sounds like he's interested in you.
So...how about you appreciate every warm gesture he sends your way and see where it goes from there?
As in, one day at a time.
Now...don't hate me for this, but take a look at this thread.
It's worth a read when you're feeling the way that you are right now.
