I work with a really lovely man and we have really hit it off in the last few months. I have known him for years but never felt anything towards him until recently. Mainly becauase I didnt know him very well I guess. Nothing major has ever happened between us although he was a bit groppy at the christmas party but I think he likes me and I definately like him. I flirt with him all the time and he is very flirty with me.

I texted him yesterday to wish him a merry christmas and he still hasn't replied to me Xmas Sad. Am I reading too much into it? Should I let it go?

Yes, a little, it is Christmas and many people don't pick up their phones, email etc. give it a few more days!

yes, let it go, I'm not on my phone every 5 mins over Christmas either.

I haven't even had my phone on for days, also my kids often pick up my phone and open messages by accident and I know nothing of them, or I completely forget about messages especially when I'm busy, sometimes I don't remember for weeks, he might have lost or mislaid his phone there are any number of reasons he hasn't text back. Calm down its only been a day.

eugh! he's a drunken sleaze! only showing an interest in you when he's had a few. you dont want to go there. aim higher! start with self respect and that means not obsessing over not getting response to messages. (fwiw the non response probably means he's married/engaged/seriously involved and cant sneak away to text you back while all the festivities have been happening)

Don't worry, when I go home to my folks I don't get a good signal so barely check phone, could be that or just that he didn't think your text needed a reply? See how things are in the new year!

How 'gropey' was he at the Christmas party?

sarahseashell · 27/12/2012 15:42

Crickey! You're a cheery old soul.

I needed to call home last Sunday on my way back from work. On turning on my mobile I found a voicemail message dated 3rd December. Blush Maybe this colleague is another old fart person who has not fully embraced modern communications technology.

SantaIAmSoFuckingRock · 27/12/2012 15:54

i am actually complex. i also say what i see. sometimes reality isn't cheerful. that isn't my fault. no point dressing it up if it doesn't look good.

Could he have got a new phone for christmas? Therefore not looking at his old one?

FestiveElement · 27/12/2012 17:03

Maybe he thought it was odd that you text him the day after Christmas to wish him merry Christmas?

digerd · 27/12/2012 17:14

He didn't send you any greetings first, so I suggest he isn't as interested as you are. In my experience, if you have to contact them first, they are not serious. Only happened to me once. Wait to see if you hear from him or not.

Hi everyone,

We're going to move this thread to Relationships in a mo, as we think that's the best place for it.
