There’s this guy at work I’ve known for a couple months, we talk here & there depending on if i work with him that day.

We’re always joking around, just banter and play fighting. yesterday we were by ourselves in a room alone and a conversation led to him telling me to feel his abs then I asked him to lift up his top in which he did and he was just flexing as men do, he also showed me his biceps 💪.

He told me he was in a very long relationship with a women, bought her a ring and decided not to propose and ended the relationship completely bc he was having doubts..

He’s such a nice guy, I do fancy him abit.. was just wondering if u guys think I’m just being silly..

Play fighting? At work?

Yes, he's trying it on. But I wouldn't necessarily believe everything he says about whether or not he is in a relationship already.

At the moment he seems to want to prove how macho he is. If you do decide to take things any further then might I suggest you watch out for any other 'dominant' characteristics.

Doesn't sound like he's single, from what you have said.

Motnight · 10/04/2021 11:30

You really need to tone down the feeling of the abs at work 😂

Freespiritxo · 10/04/2021 11:30

@SerenaRollsAGoodWay what do you mean?

He's flirting and told you he's single.

Whether he asks you out depends on if he's just enjoying the flirt or wants something more.

Would you ask him out?

boredinthouse · 10/04/2021 11:35

Why are you feeling his abs 🤣

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 10/04/2021 11:39

You both need to be more professional at work Hmm

fizzyp0p · 10/04/2021 11:40

Wink yeah he's flirting and so are you.

Freespiritxo · 10/04/2021 11:44

@itsalifetimesworkfella I told him I’d find him a gf and he was like no I don’t need your help, but then he was said fine ok. I feel like I gave off the impression I wasn’t single by saying that 🥲

& noo I wouldn’t ask him out, I’d wait for him too. Next step is to exchange numbers I guess

@boredinthouse I told him I had better abs than him or something like that and he told me to feel his 😅

I agree with this.
VodselForDinner · 10/04/2021 11:52

Is this a job you’ve started recently?

user1493494961 · 10/04/2021 11:56

Sounds a bit cringey.

Bbub · 10/04/2021 12:01

You are both flirting, no reason not to continue and see if it leads to anything more. Ignore the ones telling you off for being unprofessional, I'm sure you aren't doing this in front of customers or in the middle of a team meeting so carry on. Loads of people meet partners at work, it has to start with flirting! Hope it goes well and he is a nice one 😊

SweetAsANutt · 10/04/2021 12:02

Sorry are you at school or work? Play fighting, really?

Sorry but just sounds like he's a complete show off and loves the attention. I doubt he's interested just wants you to be interested so you can poke his abs a little more.

Freespiritxo · 10/04/2021 12:04

@Bbub aw thank you 😊

I also cringed at "play fighting". Hmm

Branleuse · 10/04/2021 12:06

Of course youre flirting with each other

boredinthouse · 10/04/2021 12:10

This is weird, are you both really young. Why don't you just get on with your work instead of feeling each other up.

Sillysandy · 10/04/2021 12:32

Your work sounds more exciting than mine anyway. Definitely flirting, both of you. He could be into you, he could be a massive flirt or it could be both. Fingers crossed...

When you are in a relationship with someone at work and it all goes pear-shaped, it isn't the bloke who ends up having to find a new job.

starbrightstarlight8888 · 10/04/2021 12:53

How old are you?

SheldonesqueHasTheWeevils · 10/04/2021 13:19

No no kitty kat - not on this watch.

Gets you in a room alone and asks you to feel him up and you ask to yark his top up for some skin?

Such nice guys do not do this to acquaintances at work.

Nope.

and single my arse with the covert feelies

Cactus1982 · 10/04/2021 13:42

@starbrightstarlight8888

How old are you?
About 15 by the sound of things.
MaryMow22 · 10/04/2021 14:00
