writes: I think I am falling for a younger co-worker. He works in a different dept so we do not have to interact much but we IM eachother everyday all day long. This has been going on now for over a year. He usually initiates it. He is 25 and I am 42. I have never been married and he recently split from his girlfriend of 4 years however we have been talking this way for over the past year way before his split. We have gone out twice to the same after work functions in the past two months and each time he stayed by my side all night. I cannot figure out if he is interested in me or just hanging with me because I am the only one he talks to alot at work. Other coworkers have told me they think there is something there because he talks to me all the time. He stops at my desk everyday when he leaves for lunch and when he leaves at the end of the day. We don't IM much when we are not at work (sometimes he is on at home and so am I). I have given him compliments and hints somewhat but everyone else seems to think he is clueless. I don't know if I should say something as I don't want to make him uncomfortable. I think about him all the time. Sometimes I think he is interested and other times I am not sure. He has mentioned to me that there is a girl at his gym he wants to talk to but he has yet to do it. He told me it doesn't really matter to him if she is not interested in him. Not sure what to think of those comments. Maybe he just wants to be friends and talks to me because he is bored. What should I do?

Well it seems to me that your just going to have to come straight out with it and just be honest with him. Even if you have got the wrong end of the stick, you need to know. Maybe he is using the excuse of a girl at the gym to make you jealous, therefore you will tell him how you feel. Just be less subtle and more honest with him...
