writes:Are we able to be friends One of the managers at my job I think has a crush and is attracted to me so he keeps me at arms length so to speak. He is not my boss or in the same department as me but sometimes we do work together and since we’re in the same building we see each other several times a day We used to text daily and talked about hanging out but I always talked about being friends. Then sometimes I would talk about hanging out with other guys. He would say things about keeping personal and private life separate-but I know of other coworkers that he is close to and friends with so the difference is with me. He once told me in a conversation about things I was awesome and kind individual and absolutely beautiful inside and out. Every once in awhile I feel him maybe look at me from a distance, and a few times like he was checking me out but maybe it was just me misreading. Sometimes I reach out to him and talk about how much I enjoy his company and like and respect him but he doesn’t say anything in response or his feelings back. He always tries to keep things mostly work and professional now. I just enjoy talking to him and would be his friend but it often feel like he has boundaries/keeps me at a distance so I don’t see how it would work

Hi, I’m thinking because in the early days when he showed an interest you told him you wanted to be friends. Maybe he was hoping for more before you said that. Some men are afraid to spell their true intentions out. He might need a little push about how you feel. There’s obcpviouslt something there

Whatever the case, he has expressed his wishes not to get any closer to you so I guess you just have to respect that and keep it professional.
