Awkward moment with guy at work

Hi

I've had an ongoing "thing" with someone at work. Nothing is happening here and he's not interested in a relationship, but I always draw myself in when he messages me despite knowing he doesn't want to be with me.

Anyway I bumped into him just now and I got so nervous. My voice felt shaky and I got so tense and body trembled. I feel such an idiot and he must think I am pathetic. I'm so annoyed at myself I can't just get over him and move on (he's on and off with another girl). He only ever gets in touch when he wants to know how my sex life is and I think he knows I like him and I'll respond each time he messages me but he'll be flaky if I get in touch with him. Arrgghhhhh

He's not being flaky, he just doesn't care.

If he asks about your sex life, tell him it's inappropriate. Set your boundaries.

He's not interested. Don't tell him any more about your sex life and move on. Block his number.

Here's an "awkward moment with guy at work" story to make you giggle (and hopefully cheer you up).
I got a photo sent from our IT manager. A very explicit photo!! Unfortunately I shared the same first name as his wife and she was back home in SA for a few weeks and he was obviously sending a little "something" to remind her what she was missing at home. Except it was t so little! I swear to god it almost came to his knees 😂🍆.
I couldn't keep a straight face the next day and he was mortified. I never had to wait long for him to fix any IT issues after that 😂

Urgh I do that when I like someone, anxiety takes over and I develop a really awful stutter mid conversation Blush it's so embarrassing and I can sense them feeling embarassed/awkward for me too Blush
I only ever do it with men who make me feel anxious though.. I really like them but there's something about them that doesnt sit right within me that I ignore so that's something for you to think about.. anyway, next time he messages you asking for info on your sex life to have a wank over just ignore him, take your power back.

God, why are people so cruel to each other. Deep down the guys in pain too, he wouldn't be so cruel else. Best wishes OP. This time will pass.
