writes:Hi, I'm 23 and have been single for a few years now, though I have been on casual dates with a few guys in that time.I have got to know a man whose son I look after at nursery over the last six months. He asked me months ago if he could give me a ride home and ever since then has done this quite often (as in every time his son is at nursery). As a result of him taking me home a lot, we have got to know each other really well.Before I go any further, this man is married and I am friendly with his wife though I do not know her as well as I know him. He is also old enough to be my dad which makes this even more awkward. The wife knows he takes me home and she and I always speak to each other when we see each other. The trouble is my colleagues have somehow come to the conclusion that I am attracted to this man! I never talk about him in front of them. He always asks me in front of them if I would like a ride home though after work. I have always assumed he was just being friendly and he has never tried anything sexual with me or 'made a move' on me other than the odd occasion he tells me I look nice, etc, but I am not the only woman he is like this with.I just want to know if you think he thinks I like him more than as a friend and how I can act differently so that my colleagues stop teasing me about the fact they think I 'like' him when I don't. I am actually interested in someone else who is a lot closer to my age and THAT guy likes me too...The married man's son is quite attached to me too which makes matters slightly worse but both me and this dad are both aware of this and he always laughs when I tell him the funny things his son says to me at nursery (the only trouble is most of the time it is about the dad so I tend to leave that out a lot and not tell him those things in case he thinks I like him as more than a friend...)Can anyone help me with what I should do in this situation. Thanks!

 Hi..To me it doesnt sound like your attracted to him..It just sounds like you two are just both friendly people..But let me ask you this do you smile when he looks at you or give you compliments do blush or anything for them to think that ? But to me the situation isnt that serious an your not doing anything wrong...So you dont need to change anything...But if i was you i wouldnt care about what your co workers think becaus its not true..So dont worry about it continue to do your job.... :)
