Hi everyone - just looking for your take on this situation.
About 1 year ago I started a new job. One of the people who works there is a nice looking bloke, around my own age, same circumstances. He seemed to have a decent sense of humour and when it recently became known to me that he is single we entered into a bit of banter via email. Whenever he came into my office he made a lot of eye contact and smiled a lot etc. I was trying to suss him out to see if he was interested and whenever we had to speak on the phone there was a bit of a spark there. Anyway - here's the thing - last week after a few emails he suddenly emailed to say "Don't worry I know you fancy me" I was a bit taken aback and replied by saying Eeeh? You are making me blush! I didn't know what else to say. He responded with a laughing face and I then "jokingly" said Please don't tell HR - Ill leave you in peace if you want me to. Now everything has gone a bit weird. He came in the next day to my office and I was on the phone so couldn't do the eye contact thing. He came in a few more times that day and then he seems as if he has just faded off. I get the odd jokey email which I respond to and then that's it! Is he game playing?
