I was talking with someone on the way to wok about what I was gonna do when I turn 21 in about a month. Later on when I was working, a guy friend of mine came up to me and said I overhead someone has a birthday coming up. He then told me happy birthday and when j said not for another month, he said it's never too early and walked away. Is this supposed to mean something or is he just being weird?

I believe the guy was embarrassed that he didn't know your birthday.

Perhaps, he is saying that every day should be like a birthday.

I don't see any "flirting."

I've said the same thing when I was embarrassed that I incorrectly guessed somebody's birthday.

If you're a woman and you have a "guy friend", especially a "close" guy friend...then he is most likely interested. In most cases (there are some exceptions, though), guys won't hang out with women on a regular basis, unless they are interested in them.

He didn't say anything about hanging out just happy birthday even though it's like a month early and how he overhead about my birthday.

Maybe he was trying to find an excuse to talk to you, then. And went about it in an awkward, sort of high school, way.

I used to do this sort of thing when I had trouble talking to girls. It made me look like a fool.

I wouldn't call this "flirting," though he might be interested in you.

I ain't sure, since he seems to hardly talk to me and avoids hanging out with me like he used to

Do you hang out with him regularly, or is he just a casual acquaintance?

He could be trying to hint that he'd like to be invited if you have a celebration, maybe? It would be usually be considered a bit rude to straight out ask to be invited, which might explain the weird way of mentioning it.

Used to hang out with him often but for some reason lately he's been avoiding me seems like after he invited me to a party

Then probably he lost interest.

I ain't so sure he was before, he seems interested in things I have to say at work just never seems to make plans to hang out anymore so I feel like I'm being avoided
