Hi guys and girls,

 

The man in this scenario is the guy I wrote about second from last thread.

- so a brief background, we've worked together for nearly a year. When we first met we hit it off and went on one date, then he seemed to back down totally which left me confused. Eventually I got over it but we still continued to get on well I just thought he wasn't bothered. Few months down the line, we were at a work party and ended up in bed together. I felt dreadful the next day, partly because I was scared I'd lose my friend (him), and also because he told me in the nicest way that he enjoyed our night together but the girl he was meant to marry was back from touring and he was going to try and patch their relationship up.

 

UPDATE NOW!

 

So since that night we spent together, thankfully it hasn't been awkward at all. We haven't seen each other as I now work on a different time patten. But we were texting and Facebook messaging on and off and it was great because we were both just carrying on as normal. It was like we were 2 best friends and I felt so relaxed that things were cool between us.

 

Anyway recently I was expecting some news regarding a job promotion and I noticed he was very jumpy with finding out wether or not I had the good/bad news or not. He was texting needy every day asking if I heard yet. And the day I was due to hear, he text me asking if I knew. Now, my phone was upstairs in the house so I didn't pick up his message. By the time I got my phone, he had sent ANOTHER TWO messages without me even replying to the first one. It was almost like he was in a panic to find out.

 

I finally text him back explaining that I had heard some news but it wasnt straight forward and complicated to text so I'll have to explain the next time we bump into each other. Well, within about 5 seconds my phone rang and it was him. First time ever he phoned me in the whole time we known each other. It was nice to hear his voice. We had a little chat about my work news and then because I told him I would be moving departments totally his voice went all flat and he said "so, I won't see you now?" And I got all embarrased and just kinda went "yeah I guess". I didnt wanna tell him the truth, and the truth is that I feel gutted. - but didnt wanna admit that.

 

So after the phone call, 20 mins later.... He texts me! Saying "I was going to offer help you study for the new job but it sounds hard work so I'll let you get on with it id be no help lol".... He was being jokey and clearly trying to start another convo with me despite just getting off the phone. I replied and said there was so much work to do, so he is more than welcome to come you take some off me. To which he said "take what off you? Clothes I hope"

 

And cutting it short, he's flirting with me again. And over the moon about it. Things with his lady friend didnt get patched up. A friend of mine told me that it seems he does like me. But is scared to know about how to roll with it.

 

I mean it's clearly proven that I've given him some

Space and he's now on the chase again.

 

I like him, lots. I don't wanna tell him that cos I'm afraid he will say he doesn't like me back.

 

Should I just go with it? And always let me text me first?

 

What are your opinions on his behaviour????

Real classy guy. </sarcasm>

 

ETA: To clarify: His jokes are lame, you're a backup choice, and he's a waffler.
