I work with a lovely man. He's kind, considerate and I have started to look at him in a different way than just friends. We socialise with other colleagues outside of work.
This man is quiet and tends to keep himself to himself in work and outside of work apart from the odd social event, but we have developed this close friendship.
We haven't seen each other for two months now due to lockdown but he texts me daily, multiple times a day, usually led by him just sometimes asking me things he definitely knows the answer to but he pretends he doesn't, and I know he doesn't text other colleagues including those he directly manages and is also close to. We've only been working together for six months and as I say, he keeps himself to himself, he's quiet but when we're together we come alive and we laugh so much!
Just before lockdown he asked to take me out to an event and he said he would take me for a nice dinner out too, both of which were cancelled. When I asked if we should invite other colleagues who are friends of us both he laughed and said, no way, it's our date night!
Also during lockdown we have been doing lots and lots of conference calls for work but he's never been on the same one as me as we manage different depts. This was until this morning when we were on the same conference call and we had a moan about it afterwards by text and he said that it was really nice seeing me on video link after so long.
He has also mentioned about the two of us going for a walk in a park now restrictions are lifted.
He's generally such a good support but some of his actions make me think he might like me in a romantic fashion. I would be really keen to pursue things slowly if so, but I don't want to embarrass myself by imagining he likes me.
So aibu to think there's a tiny chance he may fancy me? I feel like a teenager writing that!
In his presence, he doesn't give much away, but I feel this chemistry. I can't explain it.
