Soooo. I've kind of liked this bloke for a while and kind of felt it was a mutual thing.

We work together and there has been lots of chatting between us. Lots of compliments from him, asking when I'll next be in (he works in a different branch etc).

This all cumulated a little while ago with me asking about the content of a presentation he was going to be giving and if it would be relevant to me. We basically had a bit of a...moment...where he said if I promised I'd come along he would make sure it was kind of tailored specifically for me. Lots of meaningful looks etc exchanged at this point and air quite tense etc etc.

Anyway, went to the seminar, got on well. He said that he could coach me privately if necessary.

Then. Since then....nothing. He's almost been 'off' with me. Almost as if I've done something wrong. My gut instinct now tells me that he's 'playing' me and backing off.

But I wonder if I upset him or felt I'd given him thbe brush off as the only thing that I could possibly have done to piss him off that i can think of is during a conversation I mentioned my relatinoship with x-dp and said I would still do it all over again. By that I meant still have my DC with him, but I wonder if he thought I meant I wouuld get back with him?

So, dear MNers, give it to me straight - is he playing me, or has he backed off because he thinks I still want my ex?

His behaviour, as written, and not having been there,sounds a bit creepy. Is he as helpful to the more junior men in the office?
