georgia girl Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 I'm new to the forum and I feel like an idiot writing this. I work very closely with one particular guy, who I've known for awhile and always thought we were just coworkers and good friends. We're both project managers, so we're often assigned to each work half of any particular project. Sometimes, we travel together and can spend at least a week alone in another city together - he does the financials and I do the marketing and public relations. We often have to creatively brainstorm to fix things that can seem unfixable. It does sometimes give you the impression that it's the two of you against the world. But, until recently, that's always felt very much like a buddy thing. Lately, he's started telling me personal stuff that makes me a little uncomfortable (including a lot of stuff about his marriage). In addition, he's started touching me casually. Just a tap on the shoulder, invading my personal space to talk to me and even shutting my office door when we're not talking about confidential things. (By the way, I'm one of those "don't touch me" kind of people.) I don't think I'm the type to send the wrong signals and I'm starting to wonder if he hasn't misread me a little bit. I try to be nice and friendly to everyone, but I'm thinking I should probably back off with him. Or should I tell him? I don't know. One of my girlfriends has told me that other people have noticed and asked me if we had feelings for each other. I was so embarassed. I'm single and I value my reputation. On the other hand, I don't want to overreact and look like an idiot. I could be reading into this whole thing, but my gut says not. Any guys out there that can tell me if I'm crazy or not? Scary enough (I'm in my late 20s), I can never figure out if someone's interested in me or not.
