I wonder if anyone can offer any thoughts or insight into my situation please.
I’m currently divorcing my husband, aged 43. I had a couple of relationships before him but I’m not particularly experienced. I always found men to be a bit of a mystery to me.
So the divorce is very amicable. I have now found myself attracted to a guy at work. He’s 10 years younger, very handsome and I think pretty special. Before we properly worked together we had a few bumping into each other moments, both blushing, big smiles, etc.
Anyway, I very subtly asked a friend at work about his relationship status and she said he’s gay but keeps it private. I wasn’t massively surprised but still it was a big deflation.
Since then we have chatted, spent a bit more time working together. He always seems interested to come and seek me out. I actually find him quite flirty. Tonight we had socially distanced drinks in a group and he looked at me and we held eye contact for an inappropriately long time.
So what is this? A gay man after an ego boost? A bisexual man?
I’m terrible at reading signs. What does it all mean?
