Hi,

There is a guy at work whom I have liked for a while. I am on a dating site online, and one evening, I saw a photo of a guy on this site and clicked on it, and it was this guy I work with ! Shocked at seeing his profile, I didnt initiate contact at all, but then he sent me a message via this dating site. We started conversing and after a while he relinquished his mobile number to me. I texted him and we started 'getting to know each other'.

At work one day we were flirting heavily and we ended up kissing in the company kitchen, it was electric and clear we were really into each other. After a few days, and more texts later he asked after a date, and I said that would be good, we arranged an evening, then before the time we were to meet I asked where to meet him and what time, he didnt have a clue. He was being very sketchy with comitting and didnt cancel our 'date' he was merely being elusive. I guessed he didnt really want to meet.

So after this I ignored all his texts and then finally I asked 'why are you still texting me when you are clearly not interested' he apologised and said we both liked each other and that we should arrange to go out another time for a quiet drink as friends and take it from there. Im so confused, why he was so full on one minute and telling me we had chemistry to nothing.

I think you need to ignore and move on. I would personally feel alittled "played with". I think he is wasting your time. I'm not your boss but I think the kissing at work is a REAL bad idea.

Good Luck!

Hi CMMP, I have not answered his texts as any questions I've asked him, he totally ignores. I also didnt want to appear desperate so I thought I would back off a little and give him some space so he didnt feel pressured or overwhelmed.

Because its hard to have feelings and relationship at a work place with a workmate.

I think your both not ready then It will not work and you might end up hating each other if you continue considering dating or seeing him. unless, he really step up and man up about it.

And its not just all up to him. its also up to you.
