what's going on with this guy?

Post Reply New Topic

There's a guy friend of mine that I work with, that I had feelings for awhile now. He acted like he might have secretly had a crush on me, such as watching me when I ain't looking and stumbling over himself when talking about certain subjects then covering it up, saying he never said that or that "we're just friends". I finally told him that I had feelings for him a few weeks back when we were hanging out away from work, he said that he them for me too, however he said we should take things slow and stay friends for now and see where it goes. I got really confused by him saying that since I just expected to get rejected so I could move on. But what's really weird is how he's given me a late valetine's day card that said "your friend" inside it despite not making anymore moves on me, and invited himself to go to the mall when I went with another guy friend, who said he kept looking at him out of the corner of his eye and when i was buying something from a store had his hand on the counter and kept tapping it, kind of near mine. I don't really get him, since last week I was going through a lot and wouldn't talk to anyone at work, so I was distancing myself from everyone. He went to our boss and said he was concerned since I was being distant since we "both kind of like each other now". Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on with him or if I should just move on?

Ignore and move on. It's creepy.

It seems like this guy is a shy guy. He should be more direct with you. He shouldn’t have gone to your boss about this (that’s sort of weird, unless you’re all friends).

He certainly likes you. Tell him to stop with the passive-aggressive crap.

It doesn’t seem like the groundhog saw his shadow. It’s been mostly mild since Groundhog Day.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy is autistic in some way.

It seems as if he’s quite oblivious as to the impact of his actions upon you.

Are you close friends with your boss? If not, the guy did quite an inappropriate thing.

Your boss sounds like a nice, unusual person.

What do you do, if you don’t mind me asking.

You can’t get more hours with Goodwill?

I’m thinking this might be a good situation for you.

As for the guy, unless he gets more direct about his feelings for you, I would go on to someone else.
