does he like me or is he just a sweet guy?
there's this guy who i worked with last summer. we were in the same training group and ended up sitting next to each other in the office until I left to go back to uni for 2nd year (he still works there now). All of the group talked about staying in touch with me after I left but he's the only one who's bothered to. I've been out with him a few times-for dinner, drinks etc-as friends but i'm not sure if he'd like us to be more. He's quite shy-i spoke to him first on training because he wasn't really talking to anyone and looked lonely
He always texts/emails/sends me messages on facebook thanking me for going out/saying how nice i was to see me after we've been out, but I get the impression he kind of feels a bit awkward when we meet up-and that makes me feel a bit awkward too! Last time I saw him we hugged before leaving and he seemed to feel even more awkward. A couple of weeks ago he asked me if I wanted to go on a night out with a him and a group of his friends but I couldn't make it on the night they were going anyway. When I had my birthday party he had to work late so couldn't come for long but he came later on just to give me a present.
He seems a really sweet, genuine guy
He's older than me and a lot more experienced relationship wise. I'm 21 and have never really been in a serious relationship-he's 29 and has been engaged to a girl-before she left him for someone else
So...this whole going out as friend thing with him seeming a bit awkward has been going on for almost a year...is he just a sweet guy and am I imagining it? or does he like me but is too shy to do anything about it?

Sounds like me, lol, which would mean that he is just way to shy and wary to make a solid attempt at asking you out - especially with that ex-fiance doing that to him.
Although some people think guys should make the first move, there's no reason that you can't make the first move here (assuming of course that YOU want something). If you are interested, ask him out, even if it's just to the cinema. Something where it'll just be both of you.
And if you can't figure him out for certain then, there is one solution that's worked on me before - get him really drunk and then alone. Inhibitions will be minimal (if not completely obliterated), and then you might get something out of him.

He seems to be shy, and most likely, after being engaged and dumped, perhaps a bit wary of getting involved again.
As he is as you say, a really nice guy, maybe all he is looking for now, is just a good friend, for dinner and a night out.
You may just have to accept that this is all he is going to be, in your life. Next time you meet, with him, it may be time, to ask him about his feelings for you.
He also maybe concerned about the age difference, but as you are both in your twenties, that should be no big problem.
Just be prepared that if all he wants to be is friends, that will be it.
We can never have enough good friends, so just let it be that, and start dating other guys, and hopefully, you will find, that special guy for you.

It sounds like he is shy and is wanting you to make the first move, afterall he got burned once so I think he is a little cautious of getting hurt again. The fact the he asked you out is good--even if the timing of those events was bad. Go for it!
