How can you tell if a "spoken for" man is attracted to you? In his behaviour I mean.

Obviously I'm not intending to do anything silly, I'm just genuinly curious!

My advice is not to go there. And be careful cos he will push it the more you play hard to get.

Thanks for the advice. Its hard because we work closely together (out of neccessity) and on a saturday be both go and play tennis at the same club. Sometimes his wife goes too, other times she doesnt.

It also doesnt help that we live closeby to each other so often commute together in a morning, it would be hard to avoid that really as its the only way into work.

I saw him this morning and he was asking if I'm going to tennis tomorow, I asked if his wife was going and he just went quiet and said "dunno, she's probably busy with it being christmas weekend" so I said "yeah, I probably will be too" and he just looked awkward.

I was out celebrating my brothers 21st last weekend and we saw him and his wife out too and he kept looking across and smiling. The day after at work he asked who my brother was and if he was my ex etc. Why would he want to know?

What a sleaze bag. Really, what is there to be attracted to in a bloke who would do that directly behind his wifes back? I could actually tell him he's a tosser and should stop it.

make friends with his wife, if he thinks you are getting close he will probably stop

or just tell him outright, you are not interested

or, if he asks you for lunch or something, say what i did once, and that if he would kindly supply his wifes phone number you will check it's ok with her first

seems like an arsehole to me

Yes, keep namedropping the wife, especially if it shuts him up
