Hi. I'm really confused.

I'm married and this guy at work asked me out. I've seen him around for the last few years and we talked occasionally. However, I was really surprised that he asked me out. I rejected his advances and then have been avoiding him ever since. He then passed a letter through to me which was really romantic and touching. My husband could never have written a letter like that! I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to avoid this guy forever.

I'm starting to think that I might like him in return - or I'm certainly confused about how I feel towards him. Perhaps this is exactly his plan - his last throw of the dice? I guess his only crime was fancying me and he's paying the penalty by me not talking to him ever again. I'm not sure how long I can keep this going though. Perhaps I should take the initiative and ask him if we can be friends.

Would make my working day a little bit easier wouldn't it? Or would it make it more stressfull i.e. would it give him false hope? I don't want to lead him on. It was a lovely letter after all. Once again, I really am rather confused!

Forget it. If you become 'friends', he'll still always try to seduce you. And if you grow to like him enough, then an affair might begin. Best just leave things as they are.
