The first time we all met as couples, he looked at me and said we should all go out sometime. I said to him "just pick a place and we'll figure it out." He followed us to the door and said to me "know -- you pick the place." Then the last time my husband had a business dinner with him, this person asked about me and said he wished I could have come. Recently, I ran into him unexpectedly at his workplace, a hospital. He was on his way to see a patient. He came up behind me and nudged me in the arm....when I noticed who it was, I was embarrassed but flattered and kind of smiled and said "hey" and nudged back....kind of friendly but interesting because like I said we've only met twice so we're not on long-term buddy terms and he had never touched me before. Anyway, he asked me how I was, made some other small talk and then asked me how I was a second time. I felt like a high school girl and was kind of embarrassed because he is a busy doctor and I knew he had more important things to do than talk to me. Does this sound like flirting or just being friendly to a co-worker's wife?

I talk to males all the time but rarely do I second-guess the interactions like this....I know I should stop thinking about it but it just has be curious about his intent. Not that I would ever act on this in a million years, but at 42 years old, it would just be nice to know if I still have something that is interesting to the male species. I love my husband and would never be unfaithful but I do enjoy being around the rare fun man who can flirt platonically in a joking manner. Just wondering why I'm obsessing over this brief innocent encounter.
