Guys do you ask the same girl out occasionally because you like her or enjoy the friendship?

Someone please enlighten me, I am a bit confused.

There is a guy I met in my office building (does not work with me). He was nice and asked me out twice 1. Starbucks 2. Dinner on two separate occasions.

We laughed and had good conversations, I thanked him when we went to Starbucks and Dinner (just gave him a hug (nothing more).

This guy text's me (small talk or to see how I am doing) sometimes calls me when both our schedules are permitting.

Well he asked me to go out again this past week (hang out again).

My confusion is I treat him as a friend because he has never mentioned anything about dating me or a relationship so I assume we are just friends.

Why would a guy keep asking the same girl out ? Is this what guys do with there female friends?

Mature answers (p.s. he pays for everything dinner, etc whenever we go o

Update:

@Ben: Yes he compliments me (my hair, clothes, told me one time that I always look beautiful, yes all that you mentioned).

I never thought anything about because he was such a gentlemen when he would mention remarks to me in a nice respectable manner. A person cannot always assume that a compliment means being interested.

    He's probably interested in you. Does he flirt with you? Does he compliment your hairstyle or your pretty new blouse, etc? Does he reach out and gently touch you at all (on the arm, shoulder, back)? Does he smile when he sees you walk into the room? If yes to any of these, I'd say definitely interested. Dinner is usually a date move, especially if he pays, but you can't assume that 100% of the time. If you're interested in him and you really want to know for sure what his motives are, find a subtle way to get info about what kind of girl he's attracted to. For example, comment on an attractive female and gauge his response. He'll likely show his hand at this point and say something like "she's got nothing on you" if he is interested. If he responds by saying "do you think I'd be out of her league?" then he probably just wants to be friends with you. But ultimately, its sounds like he's got an interest in you.

    Source(s): I have more female friends than male friends, so I've learned some of the little tricks to decipher the difference between "hanging out" and "dating."

    Yes, that's what most guys do with their female friends. However, the fact that he is paying for everything, I think that signals that he likes you. The only time I've ever paid for something for one of my female friend's was if they really didn't have any money. So.. I think he likes you.
