I think it is a purely physical attraction and I'm not sure if I'd want any kind of relationship to come out of it, maybe just a fling. Since I started working there, I have felt his flirtations directed my way. Sometimes I catch him glancing at me, smiling, going out of his way to be in my personal "space" etc. He has even given me a cute nickname, in honor of my favorite candy. I'm not sure if this is just friendly behavior, or if it's flirting. Just the other day, upon returning from my vacation with family, when I saw him at work he said something to the effect of "Wow, it feels like it's been a really long time since I've seen you. What has it been over a week, now?" Then he asked to speak to me in the office about an error in my schedule and when I took a seat that was against the wall, he responded "You can sit closer to me, I don't bite you know." He even seems to find reasons to call me at the work number that he knows I'm at, even though there are other women he can call who work up front with me.Does this sound like harmless office flirting? Do you think he may be interested? Or is he just being a friendly guy? By the way, he is going through a divorce and rumor has it that he can't keep his eyes off other women. Hence the reason I don't know about having a relationship.

 Hmm...that is tough. I was in a similar situation months ago. My advice is do not pursue it! Nothing good will come out of it in the long run...believe you me. At first you'll get the perks, the special treatments, etc. but when he gets what he wants it won't be the same. But hey...maybe your situation could be different. But from the sounds of it, he doesn't seem like a keeper. Relationships/flings at work is a big NO NO. This is from experience :D
