I feel like I've tried my best

I have gotten discouraged, thinking that he must just be friendly with everyone, cause he never even called me by my name. Then finally, a month ago, after major stress on my part, I got the nerve to invite him to an open house party for Labor Day. When we gave him the invitation, he immediately smiled and seemed happily surprised but also told us that he had to work, which didnt surprise me because it was a busy day for him. But just the fact that I kind of started something by giving him something that says lets do something together, outside of work, I felt was a big move. Of course, it would have been nice if he came, but I wasnt surprised that he couldnt and I didnt take it personally. Actually, I think he is very friendly with the general crowd, but think maybe he is shy with going past that. I dont know, I could be wrong. Anyway, after we gave him the invitation, the next time we went in, he called me by my name! in a kind of mumbly voice, but he did! That may sound very insignifigant to readers, but it was something. So, now here comes winter, and I probably wont be seeing him much, and feeling sad. I do believe he is interested in me and he really likes my daughter too. I just dont know what else I can do. I cant ask him out. I just feel sad about it. I kind of wish I could just forget about him, but I don't think I can.

Someone just gave me sound advice. If you like him, go for it and don't wait or you'll deeply regret it. Life is too short.
Would you should do is just continue to be friendly when you see him and expect nothing. Just continue to smile and be friendly and approachable when you see him. If he still can't get the courage to say anything more to you then maybe it's not to be. It's not the end of the world and I'm sure there will be others you're attracted to and who will be attracted to you as well and you know what? We won't be on any message boards wondering how he feels or wondering if we should make a move or not because his actions will be clear enough.
Good luck, Pene. I'm sure we'll get there one day. Don't give up even if he many not be the one.
