I'm 32, too old for school girl crushes yet I've got one!!!!

A guy I met a few years ago at an event started to briefly speak to me earlier in the year on FB, just very brief messages, then after I attended an event he was interested in a few months ago, our interaction became more frequent, firstly initiated by him.

We speak on FB almost everyday, sometimes initiated by me, other times by him, just general chit chat or things we see that the other will like.

We spent a weekend at an event recently, working alongside each other (he specifically asked me to help)
Over the weekend there was lots of laughing together, I noticed him watching me often and he seemed to find excuses to touch me, just on the shoulders, back, arms etc.

We've spoken loads since with him at times just telling me what he's doing over the evening.

We don't currently live near each other, however it seems that could change.

I really have developed a school girl crush on him, can't stop thinking about him.
I know everyone will say just tell him how I feel, but as we will be seeing each other again soon, I don't want to say anything that could spoil our friendship if he doesn't feel the same.

Can anyone gage an idea of how he may feel from what I've told you all?

I feel like I'm 14 again

It does sound like he lijes you but I think decent men can be really reticent to take that next step in case they're wrong and are seen as some sex pest who can't cope with just friendship.

Can you suggest dinner or drinks next time after you work togethe?

Just suggest you go on a date! All this Facebook messaging is a waste of time imo. You can't truly get to know someone or know if the spark is real unless you sit and look into each other's eyes and talk.

The event we did meant we were together for about 18 hours both days, definitely did the drinks thing at the end!

be patient and wait.

But have you actually said anything? I think you just need to woman up and ask him OP. If it's a yes you'll be excited and it could be great! If it's a no then at least you won't waste any more time. Don't play games and wait meekly for him to make a move - this isn't the 19th century. Go for what you want. Just ask him!

If his initials are DB then yes, he definitely fancies you. (I have a platonic friend with those initials who is currently nuts about a woman who lives in s fifferent country. He's meeting up with her again on June 3rd and I've nagged suggested he tells her how he feels.)

Oooooohhhhhh Sheldon is it? Is it? Is it????

be patient and wait for what? Him to appear on his white horse and whisk her off his feet?I think it's really hard for men in work situations to put themselves out there because of the repercussions if the woman complains.

@sheldonismyspiritanimal not the we've been working all day, man i need a drink drinks. The look into his eyes and ask if he wants to go for drinks.
