Is he wanting more than a friendship?
This guy I met at work has really got me wondering. We hit it off right away and we had only talked once and he started to wink at me and smile a lot. He is not married and we have had a very unusual relationship. He told me he was a recovering alcoholic and that he has been married twice. His exes used him to get out of the relationships they were in. He then since has cleaned up his act with AA and with help from other friends from work and I. I started giving him cards that said that he was a gift from God and that he should not hang on to the past. I also told him I would never leave him like some of his friends who did leave him. I said I would be his life preserver. He thanked me for all the support. He has not had a drink for 4 yrs now and has really come out of his shell. When he was going through all of this he still worried about me and the health issues I was going through. He stated we are nothing but co-workers, yet he is trying hard to not show it but I believe that he does want more then friendship. He gets upset that other guy friends hug me or talks to me. When he comes to work and does not see me right away, he paces back and forth and when he finally sees me he calms down. He also says hi to me and kids around with me like we used to in the beginning. He tries hard not to show it, but I believe he cares for me more than he is letting on. The other things he has done, when my uncle passed away, he said he was sorry for my loss. When I called in one day to work, I was speaking with mike about getting that day off as they found a friend off mine near a dumpster from natural causes. The guy I like TIM grabbed the phone from Mike and was asking if I was OK. He is interested in the artwork I do. And he is so concerned with what happens in my life. However, when I have asked him to go for coffee or come to dinner at my place with other friends he has refused. Now, we found out that we are losing our jobs and he was afraid of telling me he was moving back home. Yet, he has been complimenting me on things and he also shouts my name when he comes in to work, others have heard this and they notice he comes by my desk quite often and/or looks in my direction often. But he has never asked me out and I gave him a book that I made as a joke and to thank him for all he has done for me. When we accidentally meet face to face, we just stand there and look at each other. He has a great smile and has been on top of the world lately. Have I lost it or is he trying to tell me something>
