So I've been working on a project with two colleagues and I've developed a slight crush on one of them because he has been so lovely to me and to work with. It was quite a stressful project and he really made me feel at ease and welcome.

Anyway he's not normally my type and I'm not sure physically how much I fancy him but at the same time I do love his personality and he makes me laugh and so I sort of do fancy him a bit now.

Our project came to an end last week and there's no reason for me to see him anymore as we are both moving on. But the last day of the project I got a feeling that maybe he liked me too, very huggy and touchy and all this week he has been messaging me. Yesterday he invited me for dinner with his friends and then to a concert and I agreed to go and he was very sweet and attentative and at the end he tried to kiss me. Except I think I was so startled I stopped it and blurted out 'won't this be awkward if we have to work together again' and I think I kind of killed the mood. I also didn't really want to kiss him in front of his friends.

basically the concert was at an end at that point anyway and i walked to the bus stop with him and it was all friendly but then we went our separate ways. I did message him to say I enjoyed myself and we should do it again and he just yes we shall which was very unlike the previous messages he'd been sending and I've not really heard from him.

I suppose I also feel quite nervous. It's been a long time since I kissed or dated anyone so I don't think I really handled it that well. And I'm not sure whether I want a long term thing or whether this would be a fling and what if it goes wrong.

Ok sorry I'm back again...and wondering if you can tell me to stop overthinking or make sense of this as I'm a bit confused. I'm aware I could just be being a bit pathetic.

So since our exchange I haven't really heard much from him. Yesterday he briefly called me for a chat about a work hangover from our project and that was it. Haven't heard anything else. We are meant to be going for drinks with our colleague on Thursday and just now he has messaged us asking if we would like to go instead to a different work social event. It looks like we are now going to that.

That's fine. But I feel like maybe he's not as into me or more likely that what he saw with me was a fun if it happens ONS thing. It is quite possible, I know he is talking/dating other girls from online.

I dont know how you have come to that conclusion. He wants to go to a different social event and wants you to change your plans too so he can see you! Sounds good to me!!

DavidBowiesNumber1 · 06/06/2018 00:27

He's asked you out! Smile

AnnieAnoniMouser · 06/06/2018 00:36

Say yes to Thursday night, then ask if he fancies meeting up, just the two of you, tonight (Wednesday)...then kiss the man fgs 🤣

Solotraveller2018 · 06/06/2018 04:36

I suppose I was just hoping that we might have met up already by now.

And also that this thing on Thursday looks like it's going to be very busy whereas I was hoping for a quiet thing

Ok an update and more advice please...

So on Wednesday I heard from him and he invited me out that night to a party. I went and had a great time with him. Afterwards he wanted to come back to mine and we had a very enjoyable time. Didn't hear from him again until late Thursday night where he told me a little bit about his day and that was it.

No contact on Friday. And then last night after midnight he messaged me asking if I was up? I was asleep and messaged him this morning say how lovely the weather was and he replied back saying he had a great day ahead going to a party and then dinner and movie with a female friend of his. I just said that sounds fun and he's sent a few messages asking how I am but nothing about meeting up.

I feel very confused. I know I'll probably get a lot of advice saying ask him out again etc but I feel like we had a nice time and night on Wednesday and then the lack of contact etc or wanting to meet up again has been a off putting and knocked me a bit.

I think he might be after a bit of a casual hook up although I cant tell and this is starting to mess with my head and my work and I'm thinking I should just bow out now and scale it back.
