hi guys!!!!!!!!!

There is this guy at work who I know has had feelings for me in the past, the first time he had feelings for me I had a boyfriend so nothing ever came of it. The second time he had feelings for me I was totally oblivious until my co workers said he hangs around me a lot (I work in a supermarket canteen and he fixes machinery around the store), he would help me out whenever I asked and he would also strike up conversations with me about how he was ready to settle down!! Despite this I was still oblivious! When my co workers told me he liked me I realised I had feelings for him too!!

When I found another job we swapped numbers and we started texting each other all the time, but he wasn't asking me out, after a while I asked if he was interested in me and he said that I am an attractive girl and I am nice to talk to but I don't seem to think that about myself!!! I then asked if he wanted to ask me out and he said 'I am interested but it's not a good time at the moment, give me some time and we will sort something out'. He never got back to me after that!!

Anyway I kinda forgot about him for a bit as I assumed he wasn't interested, it turned out this new job sucked and I hated it so I managed to get my old job back after 5 weeks of not being there. I saw him again and my feelings came back a little bit, I have talked to him a bit, he always starts the conversation and when I first saw him he seemed to look at me a lot, he looked at me from where he was sitting! Although this afternoon he did seem a bit off with me! I'M CONFUSED!! Do you think his feelings could return too? And why did he not get back to me last time?

sorry this is long but I wanted to explain

love *emzy*

bemused agony auntI think I have come to believe that if you have to ask..yes he could be interested but his mixed signals have you confused...how much fun is that. He could be he is shy, a late bloomer, slow starter so to speak but he is putting you on a bit of a romantic roller coaster ride too . He tells you that he is interested but it is not a good time right now...that would confuse anyone. He has noticed you but believe me...if he was REALLY interested you would know it. He would be be pursuing you and you would know it. Two can play at this game. I would desist from wondering or thinking about him for the time being and make other things in your life your priority. I know you like him but try to dismantle those feelings and get out and have fun. I would not even think about his feelings 'returning' as you never had a relationship in the first place and he does not owe you this. I would take a deep breath, calm down and move on. Hope this helps.
