A male friend of mine (who I indulge in plenty of mutual flirting with) sent me a text message a couple of days before Christmas that went something along the lines of...
"Hi gorgeous, gonna ask you something after Christmas. Hope you say yes, it's really good I hope just waiting on some good news"
I asked him what it was but he wouldn't tell me and said he was waiting for this good news first and that he wanted me to say yes.
It's now the 9th Jan and he hasn't said anything. It's driving me insane. Is he winding me up? If so, why? Should I mention it again or just leave it. Oh for God's sake. Voice of reason and logic please.

Was this in lieu of a Christmas present?
If so, could be that he didn't have anything, wanted to buy time, and is now scrambling to figure out something that lives up to the advance billing...
It does seem pretty specific, though. Maybe the good news he was waiting for didn't materialize?
Re: Is He Winding Me Up Or What?
Well, just guessing, but what he was going to ask sounded like it was contingetn on "some good news". Maybe it didn't materialize. Go ahead and bug him about it. Good news may be irrelevant, and he just doesn't know it.
He hasn't said anything about what he was going to ask you, or he hasn't said anything?
He just hasn't said anything about the thing he was going to ask. We have spoken plenty of times since about other day to day stuff.
He already bought me a few Christmas presents so I don't think it's that.
I will ask him again.
Yep, go ahead an bug him. Something along the lines of hoping to be able to say yes to whatever the question is.
I know, let's play guess the question... here's my guess:
DP, I've got the keys to an apartment on the Riviera for a weekend in March, will you join me?
I think he was probably drunk when he originally told you this, and was planning to ask you to sleep with him. Then when he was sober again, he chickened out.
In which case the good news was a clean std report?
aaah, another fantasy situation to add to the thousands I have been envisioning as you can imagine.
It's probably gonna be something like, "will you look after my dog while I go on holiday with the lads?"
"The doctor told me I could stop taking those antibiotics."
I think you may finally get laid depending on the results of his HIV test...
I'm going with the waiting on word of a raise / inheritance/ refund so he can ask you to clean his apartment... He'll pay you.
I just asked him again and he said
"I will tell you very soon, hold on to your knickers, won't be long."
I hope the knickers (panties for you American guys) reference isn't a metaphor for the std issue.

I will gladly clean his place for the appropriate amount of cash. I'm skint.
Skint. Another fine term for me to know. I just learned ming on another thread and plan to employee it generously.
If you like all things "mingin'" there's a funny website called "mingers.com"

btw - it was a weed-smoking excursion to Amsterdam with his mates that he decided not to invite me on because he thought I would be "bored".
I think I am definately sending out the wrong signals.
You really couldn't make this up could you?
What?
Has it already happened?
He didn't ask you to wtch his dog, did he?
Maybe an "I'm never bored when I'm with you" would work?
What was the good news he was waiting for?
Maybe permission from his friends, and he didn't get it?
(Possible reading: They wanted to be wild and pick up chicks and do drugs and be, well, lads. [Did I use that right?] He wanted to do something special for you. They said no, not on our trip. He tried to convince them. He lost.)
