A married coworker and I are beginning to be friends, but I don’t want any rumors to start in the office with people thinking we’re more than friends if we hang out a bit at work. I find it easy to VERY innocently flirt with him, bu then I quickly take a step back from that, as I don’t feel it is appropriate. He does the same. I get along so well with this guy so I find it easy to tease him like I do with a lot of my female friends. I don’t want this to come across as overly flirty. I can tell he feels the same, so this stops us from developing a friendship. He very innocently flirts with me, then pulls back. I have turned him down twice for lunch, as I think it is inappropriate to go to lunch with him. How can I become better friends with him without us crossing the line, yet having a blast joking and VERY innocently flirting with him? Should I email him and explain how I feel so that we can safely pursue our friendship? Thx.

ive been with this guy for 9 months (all while he was w/ his previous girlfriend. i know, im an awful person) he has a 2 year old w/ this girl & that is why they stayed together as long as they did. during the 9 months he would tell me how they dont get along & he cant stand her & how he planned on leaving her. about 1 month ago his gf went on vacation & took their son. he & i went on vacation too & in my eyes had a blast! when she returned she told him that she didnt want to be in the relationship anymore. she then left for an intership for 1 month where she is right now. OK so heres the email part. the other day he was over my house & left his email account open. when he left i couldnt help but look. there were emails from when she was on vacation. 1 said how he missed her & how lonely he was, 1 said “love you guys” & she recipricated. my question is, should i tell him i saw these emails to prove hes been lying or let it go since i for some reason still dont wanna lose this guy!?

Ok, this guy that i like sent me a message inviting me to go camping with him and his friends.. I don’t know if he likes me back.. I responded with this email, “How r u? Hope you’re enjoying ur week.

So… you’re going camping for Labor day. sounds nice! I actually have plans for Labor day already. Thanks for inviting me though I know yall will have a blast Make sure you take lots of pics while ur there, so I can see.

Alrighty, enjoy the rest of ur week!”

Did my email scare him? I have not heard from him since i sent it…

I dated a nice man several times about a year ago, we then lost touch. He was very honest and let me know that he liked me, but he was so recently out of an engagement that he needed to not be with anyone at the moment.

We parted ways…and then low and behold I hear from him about a month ago…he wrote an email basically saying that he had been single for a year and that he wanted to write me even though I was probably angry. He said I was the one who got away.

So we talked several times over the past month. We had a date that got cancelled due to a familial illness. His mother was sick so I backed off so he could handle that.

A week and a half later he called and invited me on a date. We were supposed to go to a movie. Well I worked late and when I called him…he had plans to go to his friends house but invited me along.

So I met his friends who were really nice and had a nice time…however I probably only had an hour total of time talking to him.
Now Im an independent girl, and I dont need a babysitter..but after not seeing someone for a year..wouldnt you want to talk to them after they’d come out to see you?

He called twice the next day, and I was busy so didnt get to talk to him. I called back yesterday and we talked and he told me that he had a great time with me and that I looked great. He told me that he really likes me and was glad I got along with his friends.

Then he invited me to come out and watch his band play next Sunday. So in other words, itll be another non-date date. I appreciate him trying to I guess include me…but Im looking for a little romance I guess.

Any ideas on what this guy is thinking?
