Ok I have to tell ya this part before I can get to my questions.

An old High School friend that I used to be close with from 6th grade till graduation stopped into the place I work. One of the clerks recognized him and knew that we were good friends up until we graduated where we gradually lost contact. She told me he was there an where as I was busy I jus told her to tell him I said hi.
She passed the message on, an he asked before he left if it was possible for him to see me an tell me hi in person, she rang me to come up front an when I did he talked with me for about an hr. or so (His dad was with him an so I met his dad as well)

He ended up giving me his number an asked me to call him later so he'd have my number and we could keep in touch, he talked about how good it was to see me again an told me he'd love to get together and hang out and maybe do somethin.

I text him so he'd have my number and we text back an forth for the last few days Nothin major jus chit chattin. He offered to come an see me today an I said it sounded like fun, so since it was my birthday my family made some last minute plans for dinner and a movie with me so I went thinkin that there would be enough time to do that an catch up with him later when he was free.
In the middle of the movie He texts me an asks if I'm free I told him I was sorry, that I went to a last minute movie an that I'd be free a couple of hrs from then, he pretty much asked for a rain check an said we'd jus get together some time this week an hang out when we both would be free an have time.

Now I'm thinkin that this is jus us bein friends an catchin up on the last 8 yrs.
The others that seen us talkin in the store, asked bout the texts that we been
sendin back an forth seem to think its somethin else on His part.(comments like Oh I seen him flirtin with you an no matter what i said they insisted that it was more than what I thought it to be.)
I dont see that and I am wonderin if I'm jus blind? Or is this jus what I think, an its a friendship deal jus like all through school?

I know that I can sometimes be blind to a man's attractions to me an I want to be goin into this friendship with the right frame of mind.

Am I jus bein naive? Or could it be that he really only wants friendship like I think?

I figured what better place to come an get advice than you wonderful people here at eH advice.

First off...Happy belated Birthday!

Now to your post.

It's hard to say what he wants because I can't actually see him interacting with you. Based purely on what you've said, I would think he's just interested in being friends. The only thing that causes me to pause is what your friends are saying about seeing him flirt with you. Granted, sometimes friends just like to tease, but there could be some merit to that. But there's different kinds of flirting, too. What does your gut tell you? Has he been acting like his old self, or is there something more to his interactions with you? I'm thinking the only way you're really going to find out is to spend some time with him.

Good luck to you!

The only thing that matters is does he ask you out on a date, and how soon after does he ask you out again.

That's it. Pretty easy, isn't it.

So, did he ask you out on a date, and if so, did he make plans for a second right away?

First, thank you for my birthday wishes

Second I've decided to not stress over it since thats somethin
that I would have done back when I was in school, an not somethin
that I would do now, I'm going to write the stressin over it off to
return of those dreaded high school nerves and 'what if's'.

He wants to get together this week to hang out. I dont consider that a 'date'. I'm jus gonna sit back an relax, if he wants more than friendship then we'll jus cross that bridge when we get there. (if)

He's a wonderful guy, always has been. He was also there for me
when I needed a friend the most. So no matter what comes of it, I want to always put our friendship first.
Its not like there arent other men out there that want to date me an
I'm pinning away for some old flame. lol

I'm grown, he's grown, we'll jus play it by ear.

Thank you guys
