Clueless about getting back into the dating game

I just broke up with my boyfriend which I'm fine about. It's been a long time coming and we ended on good terms. However, I have never really dated and now face the problem of communicating with guys on a more-than-strictly-friends basis. I like a guy who comes into the pub where I work part-time and can't figure out if he likes me back. We chat and smile, and do what I can safely assume would constitute as flirting but while on some occassions I am almost positive he likes me, on other occassions, he barely says hello. He's extremely hot or cold and I just don't understand his behaviour. He doesn't know about my ex, so he would assume I'm single. I don't want to risk asking him outright if he likes me as I know his friends and it would cause endless embarassment to me if he didn't. Would a guy make an effort to talk and flirt with a girl if he didn't like her, or does he just see me as 'sport' as I pull his pints? Any suggestions or advice would be so helpful!

Give him your phone number written on a napkin :smile: its what i did when i liked the barman behind my regular pub. Its then up to him to make the next move, just as i was walking out i asked him for a pen, scribbled my number on a napkin and left.

Dont be scared and just go for it.

Why would he assume you're single? Most people aren't.
