Decoding this guy...

have yet another classic case of "what is up with this guy?". Ok, this is a guy who I see on and off on my daily commute to work and I had noticed him watching me, then it graduated to smiles, and Hi and Bye. This went on for a maybe a month or 2. A couple of days ago, we fell into step walking to work and walked that way for a couple of minutes, not saying anything. I thought the stony silence was pretty ridiculous, since we had exchanged Hi's and Byes' before, so I said Hello, and when we got stuck at a stop light, I made some other general remark about the traffic. The conversation ensued from then on, he was eager to introduce himself, ask me what I did for a living, where I lived, where I worked, etc. and also shared a lot of info about himself. He was chatty and attentive and did not seem eager to hurry on (I am a very slow walker). When we were about to separate for our respective offices, he said it had been nice to finally meet me, and not to be a stranger and that he'd to see me around (whatver that means).
Well, this morning, he was a little ahead of me, walking to work, and then fell back a little...it was obvious he'd seen me, but didn't really make an effort to catch up with me, I thought. Again, we were stuck at a light, during which time he said Hello, and the conversation again started and flowed quite naturally and easily till we reached our respective offices. I am not sure if the guy is shy/ interested - or just being friendly and polite. He has not asked my number or suggested a coffee or anything, and I don't want to keep pushing this - or hoping for something that is just not there.
Oh - I might also add that there is a cultural/ racial difference here, I am South Asian, he's White American and I am not sure if the cultural differences make it harder - which is why I broke the ice and started conversation the first time.
Any thoughts, ladies? :o)

However, he's NOT pursuing more...and only "receives your attention" when it is available without any effort on his part.
He's not wanting to date.....if he did he has had two good opportunities that most men who did want to date...would have taken to ask you out.
