RETREAT!

I went on a church retreat with friends this weekend. We spent the weekend in the country, mostly just relaxing and playing games and enjoying a time of intentional restfulness.
While on the retreat, I met a new guy who I hadn't seen before. We were chatting and going through the usual get-to-know-ya questions.

We were out on the porch and I turned to look out at the pasture and take in the beauty of the outdoors. He was sitting in a chair behind me and I realized I was standing right in front of him, blocking his view of the scene. I quickly stepped to the side and apologized to him for blocking him.

He gave me a huge grin and said he didn't mind me standing in front of him as he had been enjoying the view from behind and that I was welcome to stand in front of him any time.

Now I ask you, how does a girl even respond to that?

Danger!!
while a girl can't help but be flattered...it's so inappropriate!
he needs to learn nonsexual ways to flirt and compliment.

although... once you get married...make sure your husband says lots of stuff like that to you!

I hope you responded with something along the lines of, "hey buddy if you wouldn't say something to your sister, don't say it to me and we'll get along just fine."

I like what anonymous said. That's exactly how I feel about the situation. You should have said "Um... I have a brother."
