Hi all,
I have registered for the purpose of asking this question, a friend has found this site very useful. I would like any opinions on this situation I am having with a man at work.
Please let me state first that I have no interest in having any form of non platonic relationship with this man, I am very happy with my Partner and don't want anything else eat all.
So there is a man at work who I sit near who I am very similar to in tastes, humour etc and we get on very well. Lots of joking, chatting and laughing etc. We all work in a close environment and we all get on very well. This man however, I'll refer to as P from now on, is one of my closer work colleagues.
A friend mentioned to me that it seems as if he 'fancied' me and that he appears emotionally invested in me quite a lot. Examples include talking quite seriously to me about him and his wife/ insulting her a few times in quite an extreme way and in a way that he doesn't to anyone else at work. Other examples include some touching on the shoulder or neck, I have never seen P touch anyone else at work before and when he does he could just as easily speak to me. There is nothing overt but I have lots of male friends and there is nothing just different with this man than any other of my male friends / colleagues. It is mainly in body language and talking that this appears to come across and the amount of personal things he talks about, it just feels charged!?
I feel really bad about this and I am awful when it comes to seeing if people are attracted to me / flirting, I am the metaphorical brick wall . I am a talkative open person by nature and I am worried that if this is feeding into this supposed attraction / emotional affair that has been mentioned. Or it could be that I'm being completely wrong and it's just platonic! What my friend said has got me thinking and I don't want anything to come across as I really don't feel that way at all/ would never cheat on my Partner.
What do you all think? Does he fancy me or am I being clueless!?
