charstell_x Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 He and I work in different departments, but we see each other three out of four days a week. Whether it just be in passing or scheduled in the same general area, he's always around. I find it slightly difficult to concentrate on work when I know he's lingering; thoughts of him sexually and emotionally have taken over in such a short amount of time and I have no idea what to do about it - or, more importantly, how to deal with it. Am I simply a single, twenty-two year old female lusting after a man twenty-four years my senior, or has this become a serious issue? We flirted hardcore and he's well-aware of my intense sexual attraction towards him. He assured me it flatters him and I have no reason to feel embarrassed, but I still can't help but wonder what he truly thinks of me. I catch him staring often, watching me as I work, or he'll occasionally make his presence known. At least, that's the vibe I get from him. He has my number, and I have his. When I sent him a text message regarding a picture I told him I would send (to which he seemed genuinely curious) he responded, "That's sweet but my heart belongs to another". What? It's a situation I honestly do not understand. We've interacted twice since then, and each time felt completely normal. It's never awkward. Is he playing hard to get? Is it all a tactic to throw me off and make me want him even more? Or is he really involved with another and just likes to flirt in the workplace?
d0nnivain Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 He enjoys flirting with you. Period. He does not want to take this any farther than a simply office casual public interaction. It is not a tactic to make you lust after him more. In a work setting once you are politely told no, walk away. Do not pursue. Ever. It could cost you your job. If you can't work with him, start sending out resumes. 2
No Limit Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 He likes the flirts, it's quite the ego boost. I'm sure you're aware of the line "Ha, still got it!" and then going on with your day. If he was romantically interested in you he would have had plenty of occasions to do some more talking judging by your description of him being around you often. Maybe you should focus on being a professional instead of using your workplace as a dating program (which frankly is a bad idea; imagine a relationship with a co-worker going sour and you'd have to see them everyday whether you can stand their sight or not).
