Before I ask my question, I just want to get the whole story out to get a better perspective on everything:

Ok so about a month ago I started chatting with this guy that I work with. I've always noticed him and work and always thought he was cute. Kind of blew me away that he found me on Facebook and wanted to be my friend. Well the day after we became friends on Facebook, we chatted for 4 hours *until 3am*. I pretty much decided that I liked him and he was pretty cool. At THAT point in time he was single but was in a battle with himself because his ex *fiance* who had burned him multiple times before wanted him back again and he wasn't sure. So being supportive me, I told him whatever decision he makes would be the right one.
We kept talking and talking and I guess he decided to get back with her. Which kind of bummed me out, but I kept getting this vibe that he liked me. So another night, on Facebook chat, he admitted that he REALLY liked me and that he didn't realize he had a huge crush on me until literally less than 24 hours after taking T. back. I was pretty blown away. So we continued on, chatting, flirting etc. Last week, the only two days I was working, he was at another store, but each day he would find an excuse to come in. The second day was literally JUST TO SEE ME. Since he could have gotten his groceries at the other store he was at... he instead went out of his way just to see me.
Now we have this odd text and IM kind of thing going on. We're both so shy, awkward and giggly when we're physically around each other, it's hard to talk to each other. So talking via IM and text are just easier for us both. But it's been getting a little easier each day.
Anyway,One night I turned on my webcam on Yahoo just so he could see me where he told me how beautiful I was and whatnot. I went to Las Vegas the next day for custody drama and kept in touch with him the entire time I was there. He kept telling me that he missed me, sending me pictures of himself, me doing the same, etc. Then we made plans to go out to dinner and go to my place for a movie night the Saturday after I got back. I was so nervous I could barely eat for two days. We had talked of having a movie night before, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to "behave" so he said he wanted to hold off and see how things went, but now he was all for it. So we met for dinner, I gave him the stupid little souvenirs from Vegas and we awkwardly sat down and ate dinner. We laughed and had a great time. Every time we'd catch each other by the eyes I could feel the electricity. He even said so himself that he wished the table wasn't in the way. So after dinner we went back to my place and watched Shaun of the Dead and drank beer. We were laying on my bed and he was such a gentleman. We just laid there and got closer and closer and I finally started rubbing on his arm. Well after Shaun of the Dead was over we took a short break and I put in Dawn of the Dead and turned off the light for the "serious zombie movie" So I cuddled up next to him and not even 5 minutes into the movie I looked up at him, he leaned down, I leaned up and we kissed... and kissed... and kissed for the entire movie taking periodic breaks. But I've never been kissed the way he kissed me, it was soft and gentle, then rough and passionate, then giggly and silly. There were times we were crushing each other because we were holding onto each other so tightly. My hair was tangled because he kept running his hands in my hair. Well he ended up falling asleep and he spent the night. Nothing else happened that night, except we cuddled up and went to sleep. The next morning we woke up and he stayed until about noon. I also made him breakfast :). When he left we kissed each other goodbye and he said that we definitely had to do it again. I didn't really hear from him too much the rest of the day.
So yesterday we worked together. He kept coming over to me to chit chat, we took my breaks together, the second one finally being alone, where I said he drove me crazy and he said he was pretty smitten himself. We got off work at the same time and walked into the parking lot. I told him that if it was too awkward to kiss if I could at least have a hug and he said of course. So we hugged and I asked him if I was going to be able to talk to him tonight. He said "ehhhh... welll.... probably not. I have to short my out" I was instantly bummed, but I didn't want to pressure anything. So I said OK and that I would talk to him some other time. I sent him a text message later saying that I was bummed but happy and told him thanks for making me smile and laugh and that I hoped to talk to him tomorrow. He sent me a text message back that said "Sorry, I hope you understand. It has nothing to do wit you or how I feel about you"
We've both been burned by our significant others. I broke it off with mine though because I'm tired of his lies and I can't take the hurt anymore. But there's HIM and T. I'm so afraid that he's going to decide that he's going to want to work it out with her rather than take a chance on me. He even told me that he doesn't feel the same anymore and his feelings for me "illustrates to [him] that [he] might not really want to be with her, whether it meant being with [me] or not"
I'm just really confused and could use any advice. I feel like I'm falling for this guy and it's too late to try and suppress any feelings for him so I don't get hurt. He also is obviously very into me as well and he doesn't seem like any of the other guys, especially since he's been burned like me.
Should I back off? Should I keep pursuing? Do I ask him to make up his mind? HELP!

Don't bend over. Put ua best foot forward. Don't force it.coz if you do, out of sympathy for you, he will give in and in the long run, he will cheat on with the other gal or someone else. If he wants you, he will come for you. Do not throw uaself at him. He will be a nuisance to you in the long run. Just play it cool and do not act desperate. Some better guy will come along if he doesn't.

I think you back off, and give each other the time, and space to deal with your individual feelings. Its wise to go slow, seeing as how your both carrying past baggage, and though you have dealt with yours, he has not. You must allow him to do so.

Just me personally, workplace relationships suck, because when there is a glitch, big, or small, its so hard to stay objective, and so easy to get carried away.

Wait a second! Did I miss something in your thread because I thought you wrote he decided to work things out in beginning of your thread before the two of you hung out? If so, then the two you shouldn't had hung out because that means he cheated on her? Sorry if I am wrong.
