I’ve had a client for three months and recently we’ve been texting. It started when he missed my phone call and whatsapped me instead to say he couldn’t talk but could message: I work in marketing so we have frequent communication, but over the past two weeks we’ve become more friendly.
It’s always about work or similar; nothing inappropriate. But I’ve started to develop feelings for him. He’s my type exactly and I love how driven he is.
I don’t think he feels that way about me - we were both off for the Christmas period and while he still spoke to me, it was just a couple of messages a day. There isn’t really either of us who initiate conversation as it’s just a rolling conversation. It’s only initiated if it’s something important and work-related.
I know I have three options -
To cancel him as a client so that I don’t continue to develop feelings
To simply stop messaging as much but knowing that we will still be in contact because he’s my client
He isn’t very active on social media but my friend is great at snooping and he isn’t in a relationship. Right now it just seems we’re friendly but I can’t help the way I feel.
It’s 3am so I probably won’t even get much attention in this post - but if anyone is awake, could you please offer your thoughts?
I did write on here the other day but have name changed again. I am autistic so I’m bad at reading into things.
