Any thoughts on this?

I was thinking you lovely cancer people could give me some advice about a cancer guy I know.

Ive known him for a few years but as he's been abroad it's only in the last few months that I've got to know him much better. This has been initiated by him getting more involved in an organisation we are both members of. I saw him at a social event last year but don't really remember talking to him much (although I must have done). But then he came to another event a couple of months later when we talked the whole evening. What surprised me is that the next time I spoke to him was when he phoned me. I'd organised a regular event but could not make it and he phoned me from it and then we talked on the phone for ages. We then started to work together more closely and he started to phone me a lot and when he's phoned we would talk for a long time. I don't really initiate the contact. The phone calls have become very much focused on personal views about things and talking about our lives rather than to do with the organisation. We seem to have an awful lot in common. He has said he will have to show me things (he mentions) and mentions speaking again soon. We are guaranteed to see each other anyway because of this organisation, but he says he will talk to me before we see each other at known events. He has in the past checked to see if I am going before committing to social events and he wanted to extend the last one we went to because he was late. Ive also caught him looking at me a few times when Ive turned away. But it's not that he is catching sneak peeks at my cleavage like other guys, but seems to be studying my face.

I'm flattered by all this attention and Ive always liked him well enough. Of course the attention is making me like him more than maybe I should. After all we are just friends and perhaps he is just being friendly because we click. The thing is when I mentioned it to a couple of friends they said that he sounds like he is romantically interested. Is that reading too much into it? I really do enjoy talking to him and spending time with him. Im not planning to initiate anything, but just wondered what your insights were. Ive been out with a couple of cancer guys many years ago but those were almost immediately turned to romance so I'm not used to this type of scenario....Any thoughts?

if he's checking to see if you're going before he decides to go i think that's a big indicator that he likes you. he's calling, trying to get to know you as a person and wants to see you outside of the organization. i don't think he's just trying to be friendly.

Ask him out!
Has he mentioned some place he likes to go, like for coffee or a walk? Call him up some morning and say you're going to head to such & such place for coffe, and would he like to meet you. See what the vibe is....
