Jim and Overrnbw, thanks for your responses. What makes you think he's interested? I just can't tell if I'm imagining that he was looking for a reason to call or if he's just a motivated colleague who wants to tackle work. The only part that seemed more explicit was when he pointed out that he's single...either he was saying it to be nice so I didn't feel bad about him doing more work or he wanted to let me know he's single. Anyway he just called me a while ago from the airport but we just talked about work and he said he'll call again later when he lands. Regardless of his intentions our project will end tomorrow so we won't be in touch after that unless he reaches out. I'm planning to go to his native country next summer so I may at that time ask if he's around and meet him if I'm single by then. Otherwise I'm so lost when I think about being single. The thought of meeting a guy like this one is appealing though. Not practical, but perhaps it's the first instance since my husband left that I could even imagine ever considering anyone else.
