It's someone I work with, I sense he may be interested, but I'm not.
I'm normally the type to just say 'im sorry but I'm not interested ' but he hasn't asked me out/said he likes me so he could easily turn round and say 'Oh I only wanted to be friends.'
We have nothing in common, we've both been to 1 or 2 of the same countries, that's it. I mean we don't have any similar interests.
He knows nothing about me, apart from my age. He's never asked anything about my background, interests etc.
He asked me once where I live, then forgot and asked the next day.
It's not even like we're having really interesting or fun conversations, it's just small talk but he keeps forcing it. And I can't cope with the constant use of was instead of were 'What was you gonna do' and the use of your instead of you're.
He went on holiday and sent me a picture of his feet to show me sunburn? Like why on earth did I need to see a pic of his feet, I barely know the guy.
This is my fault because I started chatting to him on the basis of friendship, but I've clearly given the wrong impression. I've also noticed his closest friends at the office are women with long blonde hair under 25, and he's 40.
He hasn't done anything wrong and I know I'm being harsh, I just don't see the point of this constant inane, forced chat on WhatsApp.
I don't like slow fading, I wouldn't like it done to me. What to do?
