Sounds like someone with a lot of baggage. I say stay clear. He has too much "noise" in his life and probably would not be attentive to you as much as you'd like.
My best friend dated a guy that was starting his own business. He didn't even have a child and she was often stood up for emergency meetings and whatnot and it left her feeling devalued.
With so many other life nuances you don't need that. Find a guy with a little less on his plate.

Maybe you should ask if he wants to do something this holiday with the kid....if you think that he likes you then you should get to know him better....start going out for lunch...coffee even if you don't drink it get tea or something else....then when he is ready then he will ask....if he never does and this continues then go for it ask him...guys LOVE it when girls make the first move. It could be that he does not realize his true feelings for you because he is still wrapped up in his OLD love life. What you need to do is bring him back to now and not let him live in the past with his ex.

The question should be what's up with you? Why are you wasting time waiting for a broke business obssessed guy who still has feelings for his now married ex to ask you out just cuz you think he asks gaga over you when you see him in social settings.
Find a man who is stable not still chasing his ex and actually ask you out.

Can I just give you an advice? This sounds sooo materialistic but -- let me tell you this.. A guy with financial problem and issues with his ex is something. In my opinion... You are better off being friends.. No offense or what but the current state he is in.. -- him having problems with his ex -- I don't think you are in the right position to be with him.. Yet... Let him sort this things out himself.. He may be emotionally unstable and you may be dragg in along..

Maybe he thinks you might not be interested in him and is afraid to ask you out for fear of rejection. Buy two tickets to a concert or something, and ask him if he'd like to accompany you. Ask him open-ended questions about himself, and then be a good listener. The more he likes you, the more time he will want to try to spend with you. Why? Because time is everyone's most precious commodity.

You want to get mixed up with this guy??? Are you nuts??? He has no money, he's inattentive, and has problems with his ex. Sounds like a winner to me. Stay away from him unless you really have a need to be on a sinking ship.

He`s evading the trauma he had then.Or else since he has financial problems, he`s freaking that you might become a tunnel through which the little he gets might drain.

He could be shy or fear rejection. If you are interested in him then strike up a friendship an dmove slowly as he may have alot of open wounds from his divorce.

Maybe he just needs time, he probubly has had a bad relationship, has all these problems, you cant expect someone to just get all into you in one moment, he probubly does like you. just give him time! and hopefully it ewill work out good luck!

Personally, I would not even want to get involved with someone who has as many problems as you list. Surely, you're not really that desperate, are you???
