Does he want me or not?

So this guy at work is talking some strange talk and I have to wonder, does he want me or not? What do you think?


He wanders over to my desk at least 3 times a day
He asks me if I missed him when he's away from the office
He asks me if I would consider dating an atheist given my Christian beliefs
He looks at me with eyes that could melt butter but says nothing
He asked me if he would feature in this new blog I'm writing
He wants me to go to the movies with him sometime
He sent me a picture of him in non work clothes
He asked me to lunch with his friends
He sent me a text on my birthday at 10am on a Sunday!!!!


Yes, I know, I know but I guess I can't believe it because:


I'm black and he's not
I don't understand why he's not intimidated by my weave and my make up (which gets everywhere)
He hasn't asked me outright on a date
He has seen my Bible  in my bag and on my phone, is he not afraid?
He didn't invite me on his holiday which he is taking next week (ok extreme I know)


Why do we women look for love in all the wrong places? The light here is as green as green can be but


I can't let go of my fantasy of a strong black man
Even if he started going to church I would feel light years ahead of him having been a Christian for so long (over 15yrs) and I wont be able to resist correcting him and nagging him to pray in tongues
I worry over stuff like how he would run his fingers through my non existent hair
How will I indulge my penchant for non-english Nollywood?
Can he deal with my extended family and what they really think of people from his part of the world?


These, ladies, are precisely the reasons why I pray I don't die alone because if I have this much baggage is it any wonder I can't let love find me?


What do you think I should compromise on in list #2?


What would you compromise on if it were you?
