I received a text from someone along the lines of "what would you do if someone told you they had feelings for you? Would you stop talking to them?" I was like wtf and didn't reply for a while. I finally answered with feel awkward exactly like I do right now.

They are now telling that they were asking for my opinion. If that was the case surely you'd give context first. I work with this person, they are older than me and I am similar age to their daughter. I have 0 feelings for this person. I am in a long term relationship. I do tend to get on with men more having been brought up with more male influence. I also used to work in a pub so tend to ignore inappropriate comments.

I'm unsure what to do tomorrow? Do I carry on like normal or step back a little from this friendship?

It's not a friendship, not to him. Friendly but not friends is how I'd manage it.

I just hope he doesn't bring it up. I will do the speak if spoken to situation
