Hi ladies
Bit of background first, I'm in my early 30s and recently separated from DH. Six months ago I started a new job and was instantly attracted to another colleague (mid 40s) and we became fast friends. We get on really well and work closely together on a daily basis.
Fast forward to two months ago, we confessed we had feelings, but he quite openly stated he wanted things to be casual. We speak every day, see each other in work five days a week, and meet for meals/drinks etc maybe once every other week. We slept together for the first time this week. He was very attentive and affectionate, i.e kissing me all over for hours and hours, stroking my face, gazing into my eyes, telling me how beautiful I am etc etc. Afterwards he was still very affectionate, cuddling me and kissing me for a few more hours and hasn't pulled away since (which I was worried he would). We have plans to meet each other again next week.
I think my question is whether this sounds normal to you? How can someone be so affectionate and warm, but still not be into me enough to want anything more than casual. I enjoy his company and his friendship but I worry I'm falling too hard to keep things casual for much longer.
I'd like the continue with things, as he does make me happy,
