Have you had a few sherries Grin
If you have, get to bed, have a sleep, and see if its still important in the morning.

I would not be happy. It's intimidating and if he would like to see you, he should get on with it. Seems he wants to possess you without actually taking you out. Not pleasant and I would cut out the flirting.

So should I take it as tw birds one stone, warning other guy off but also saying dnt like u guys chatting without me, I knw I like him loads, it's a work crush as well. Ended convo walking right behind me , like really close. I'm now guess the asking if I was ok few weeks bCk is his ice breaker an since then I catch him looking at me, looking like he wants common ground first. Maybe mate guy was a way of doing it. Kinda felt protective if it was. I dunno how to start talking back I'm seriously shy due to my scar so worried he hasn't seen it yet, but staring I guess he has. Ps when I catch him staring he has now started to go out of view so I been think he dnt like me an I'm annoying him, in which case why start the convo. Thanks for replies. PPs I knw guy I was chatting to likes me, he told me enough times so I thought abt his feeling first an didn't speak to him . I'm gonna ruin it.. Does anyone think he is single . Y else is he doing this

His behaviour sounds down right alarming and I would be avoiding him like the plague!!

SadieContrary · 30/08/2017 04:48

I think we have been flirting

Surely you know if you have or haven't been OP? Behaviour sounds a bit like two school age teenagers to be honest.

Neither of you seem to be making a proper move. I want to say to avoid him like the plague from your first message but your post is a bit random/vague so it could just be two very nervous people making a complete tit of telling the other that they like them.

Take the plunge OP. Ask him out on a date. If he agrees then you'll know that you were actually flirting and you'll be able to spend some time together 1-2-1 to see what he's like

mathanxiety · 30/08/2017 05:17

Drop this man, and do not have anything more to do with him. Do not ask him on a date. Do not have anything more to do with him beyond whatever is necessary at work. Stop flirting. You know what he is like. He is a rude, jealous, controlling asswipe.

I hope you are not feeling flattered by his jealousy. If you are, please slap yourself really hard.

TheNaze73 · 30/08/2017 07:28

From the sounds of it, he doesn't sound good enough for you or actually that interested in you. Move on, you can do better

Ellisandra · 30/08/2017 09:05

Grin at bumping from 03:30 to 04:30 - had it dropped off the first page?!

Were you drunk / tired last night?
Come at it with fresh eyes today.

My advice is that if you see controlling behaviour as protective Confused or even slightly inept social skills as protective, you need to think carefully about why you see protective as a positive thing. Are you a child?

Olilou01 · 30/08/2017 12:21

Hi . So u all think he was trying to warn other guy off then subtly. I guess protected wasnt a good choice if words. I guess i meant . Well i dunno really. If he was shy for the time we bee flirting then y now has he decided to come forward sn block other guys. Surely make a move or dont. Like i said my scar makes me need to judge how u approavh me an that u knw its there before im comfy talking to u. So thats i knw i havent been forward. His comment might not have bern thought through an guess hr messed up with it. But everyone deserves srcond chance no?.

No!!!

Ellisandra · 30/08/2017 17:29

Whoever coined that phrase should be shot for the damage it causes!
It's meaningless shite.
No, not everyone deserves a second chance - in fact, I think most people would be happier and better behaved if less second chances were given!

Ellisandra · 30/08/2017 17:32

But re this guy - it just sounds like you're massively overthinking it all.
You "think" you've both been flirting, but you've not spoken to each other?

I'm sorry your scar affects your confidence. If you work together, assume he's seen it though. And though it's easy for me to say - it won't put a decent person off. And you want a decent person!

cantfindagoodname · 30/08/2017 18:03

If this guy's a technician who can fix your keyboard, I say go for it! Grin

fc301 · 30/08/2017 18:09

Olilou01 · 30/08/2017 19:12

if you were stood chatting to a male colleague... and he comes over and says..
Alright.. what's going on here then.......

then nobody says anything... SILENCE.. Confused
then obviously he's going to walk away embarrassed.. because nobody engaged him in conversation... he felt humiliated OP

is my understanding

mathanxiety · 30/08/2017 19:47

But everyone deserves srcond chance no?

NO NO NO.

You are too invested in the possibility that this might be a relationship.

I suspect he is playing you, and understands your insecurity about the scar.

Get yourself some counselling to learn to live with your scar and feel good about yourself. Learn to distinguish healthy interest from mind games. If you don't know if you are flirting together then he is playing games with you.

Olilou01 · 30/08/2017 21:09
