I've been in my new job for around 2 years. Love it. Love my team etc. Things are going well etc. I have a colleague who is senior than me who I work quite closely with. He isn't my manager or part of my team but my role requires working with him alot.

We get on brilliantly and work really well together and became friends. We don't see each other a lot outside work though so it's more of a work thing. We text each other all the time.

On Friday he suggested we go out for lunch, all normal, we regularly do that anyway. He basically told me he has feelings for me etc and wants to the things further. All fine except I'm married! Why would he even suggest that? I was quite stunned and didn't really know what to say. I told him it couldn't happen for obvious reasons but now that I've had more time to think about it I'm really pissed off at him and I'm not too sure about him.

Also i know things are going to be awkward on Monday. How long will this awkwardness last. I really enjoy working there and with him too and now he's messed it up. Knob.

Can't you just act with a bit of charm and grace and say you'll both just forget it? From reading your message anyone would think this was an extraordinary situation, whereas it has happened to me and most women I know. Feelings get heightened at work. Just drop it.
