My friend works with a man she's become quite close to. She's single, he has a fiance. They've always got on but in the last couple of months they;ve been working on the same project so they've spent more time together. I've just had her crying to me and I feel terrible for her and don't know how I can help.
She broke down and said although nothing physical has happened, they can feel an attraction, touch when talking etc, same taste/wavelength and quite the team work wise...She said till today she's not consciously been aware of what was going on and it came to a head when they had music on, were alone and they locked eyes and he moved her hair away from her face. She asked him what he was doing and he said he didn't know and should go. She said she didn't think he was about to kiss her but it was too much. It's been commented on to her by a couple of people that they get on well etc but the way it sounded to me was as if they were fishing for gossip
She's not really done anything wrong and surprised herself stopping anything that may have but its made her realise how much she likes him and how sad she is that it can never be anything but obviously knows that
I just feel so sad for her, its a horrible situation to be in and she has to work with him (no changing that). The only thingI could suggest was that she should try and be as professional as possible, no personal stuff etc
