Why is he winking at me?

You could ask him why he's winking.

Went on a date
Got ghosted by him
He never texted again so I stopped texting him
Now I see him and he has suddenly started saying Hi
Now he's also winking at me. He has winked at me before too.

Hi there

If he ghosted you it's likely he's only resumed trying to get your attention to be closer to one of your friends/acquaintances or for his own personal gain. It could be possible that he regrets how he ghosted you but this I very much doubt.

I personally would be polite but maintain my distance.
Best wishes.

I see we're back to "please read the mind of someone that you don't know" again.

We don't know. We can't possibly know.

I can't ask him

Well, sorry but we can't just make assumptions on what's going through his mind. That's all we can advise.

I'm don't put my trust in people so easily so I'm likely to be over cautious at times.

As others have said, it's difficult to interpret the meaning of a wink in your situation.

You can guess and then give advice???

You want us to guess, and then give advice?

Okay, he was telling a cheeky joke to someone he was with and looking in your direction when he winked to punctuate it. Not much advice I can give, unless you can be within earshot in future and join in. Take care and all the best.

No he wasn't. He was alone and coming to the building by himself .

He's got something in his eye?

Feeling bad over what he did and now trying to be polite?
Playing games to keep options open?

One out the two is the answer I guess but you can guess from it which seems more likely ?

You seem like you know the answer, so I don't think I'll guess.

I dont that's why I listed 2 options. Which one would you guess?

I'm sorry but what importance would our guesses have to you. You may as well make a poll, if you're looking to survey us on the potential rationale behind his actions. That would be more logical and save time.

To decide what to do next . I can make a poll but it will be a duplicate post so
