He is 32 and I am 22. He flirts with me, a lot. Am I being played or is he trying to see what happens first?

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have become attracted to someone and I know at least the physical aspect is mutual but I'm not sure of his intentions.

He had a bad experience with another woman a few months ago and I just broke up with my boyfriend recently. I know neither one of us is ready for an actual relationship yet, but I'm not sure that he just intends to get in my pants or use me for rebound or something along those lines or if he just wants to take it slow and see if I can be a big girl and work out my problems before he makes the next move. I do have a few other than my ex.

There is a lot of sexual tension between us and he occassionally makes innuendos.

He also looks for excuses to touch my cheek, hug me, brush a hand against my shoulder or even stroke or squeeze my hand.

We have a lot in common personality-wise. Everyday, we open up to each other a little more. He takes me out to lunch too.

Today we somehow got onto the subject of my getting a boyfriend and he said that I needed to get my life together before I get one- which I agree with- though I don't entirely understand why he brought it up... Yesterday he was saying tha he is usually straight forward with a girl when he likes her and that he is always misinterpreted as liking a girl when he's just being polite.

I'm not sure what's up. Am I being played or is he trying to see what happens first. He is 10 yrs older than me and I know my insouciance is appealing to many people so I am bit confused.

So_Very_Confused agony aunthe told you that he is straight forward with girls when he likes them... he's not telling you that to see if you like him... sounds like he's setting boundaries.

I'd treat it as just a friendship.

do you work together? I'd be very very VERY careful about getting involved with a co-worker especially if one or both of you are on a rebound, recovering from a prior relationship.
