Can you PLEASE explain this behavior & your thoughts on this?

A guy started at my work— he’s gorgeous, not gonna lie. Like physically exactly my type from head to toe. And he’s NICE. Confident. Driven. Motivated. All the good stuff ‘on paper’— he’s got it.

I’m a receptionist and when he started at my company, every. single. day. he went out of his way to come up to my desk to chat with me either on his break, lunch, or when he was leaving. There are 2 exits so he would never have to pass my desk if he didn’t want to. He would pick up a heavy-ass sofa coach (prob 70 lbs??) like a feather and move it 3 feet forward up to my desk so he could sit and chat for 5 mins. When I was in a room, he always boisterously got my attention to say hi and ask what’s up, he always clocked where I was (you just know when someone is keeping track of you), he made sure to make lingering eye contact, and he would double take to let me know he saw me.

Cool, so he did this for about a month— never talking about feelings or going out (however he did once comment “ahh so we could grab wine together then” because we discovered we liked the same type of red wine).

AND THEN, I went out of the country on a planned vacation. For 4 weeks.

When I got back, he didn’t pay any attention to me anymore. FUCKING BUMMER.

Now I’m not about to chase a man who doesn’t want me, but I can’t figure this shit out.

Is there a way to covertly and non-obnoxiously get him interested again? I’m not willing to chase him, but I don’t want him thinking I wasn’t interested (if that was the reason why he stopped?) I don’t believe he’s dating anyone as he just moved here and he keeps himself busy, also nothing to show on social media, but who knows honestly.

I was seriously in denial that someone so good looking could be interested in me, but I mean... with time to think about it, he wasn’t “just extroverted” like I chalked it up in my mind to be.

Any advice is welcome. I’m not desperate for ANY man’s attention so if he truly doesn’t want me, then f*ck it, PASS.

BUT if maybe I fucked it up somehow by not reciprocating or something, I would love a chance to redeem myself.
