Flirting

I’ve been flirting with someone here at work. We work for the same company but in different area/department. He flirts back with me and sometimes seems like he really likes me. We have a great time when we get to talk to each other.

The thing is that I want more than flirting, so I told him that I like him. He said I was a sweetheart and cool and that he likes me, too, and that we should hang out, so we are supposed to get together this Saturday. This is a very busy week for him since we are getting ready for a show so I didn’t get to see him almost all week. Yesterday I left him some cookies with a little note and my phone number. He wrote an e-mail saying, “Thanks for the cookies, sorry, its been a very busy week, the end of insanity ...”

I know he is really busy, so I try not to bother him, but I’m going nuts. I really like him and I know he likes me, too; I can sense it every time we talk or see each other. Tomorrow we have a meeting together so I hope we get to arrange something for Saturday. I’m confused and I don’t know what to do. I guess that if he really likes me, he would do something about it. I already took the first step. What do you guys think? Does he like me or not? Is he scared of something? He wouldn’t pretend, right? Please help me out to get some peace of mind. Thank you.

Hi Eli If you're anything like me, you really only want to hear what you want to hear, and no matter what advice someone gives, you're still going to do what you want to do. Saying that, no one knows the guy except you but it sounds like he's just enjoying the attention, and doesn't really want anything more. BUT, if he actually takes you out on a date on Saturday, then maybe you just need to relax and know that he likes you but there are other priorities such as work at the moment. As sweet as it is that you left him some cookies, perhaps hold off now and see if he likes you enough to make a move. Starting a relationship (if this becomes one) on an equal footing is important- and you've made it clear you like him- now it's time for him to show you the same. Good luck!
It feels good to write.
