writes: I'm really attracted to a man at work. He seems to like my company. He asks me things about myself, he bought me coffee once, he sits near me in the staff room and the other week, he asked where I was when I wasn't in. He is a nice man and a gentleman, but equally quite reserved. He never tries to make physical contact, and while he asks me a lot about myself and makes conversation, he never flirts. I'm younger than him, and we are both quite attractive. I find it hard to believe he would be interested in me as more than a friend. What do you think? Does it sound like we are just friends or could he like me as more than a friend?Thanks!

This is a tough question. He might just be very very shy. That's what it sounds like. Or he might be the kind of guy that wants to be a friend first before he asks a girl out.But I think the key is that you're younger than him. Is he much older than you? Then if he is, he might not make a move unless he knows you're open to it. He may need you to do that anyways, even if he is a little older.The key is, is that men do sometimes act like this even though they have a big crush on someone. He may like you a lot, but is not forward about it until he knows you're really interested in him. Some guys are like that.My suggestion is that you flirt with him a little and subtly let him know you'd like him to ask you out, or that you're open to it. Sit next to him instead of getting him to sit near you all the time. Talk to about personal things and see if he's really listening. But do be subtle as he just may need time to be comfortable.
