How do I advise my friend about her coworker?

A age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I need some advice on how to handle this situation with my friend. "Emily" is 25 and last year at work, one of her male co-workers asked her out. Mind you, he also asked out ALL of the other female co-workers as well. My friend said no. She said she felt comfortable talking to him, but she wasn't ready to go on a date. Well, over the months she would hang out with her co-workers, he would be there. They talk, flirt, etc. Some of her co-workers would push her to ask him out and she just got all anxious and upset. Flash forward to present day and apparently he asked another girl to lunch and my friend is jealous. She said that now "everyone is telling her to go out with another guy" to perhaps make this guy jealous. She refers to her co-worker as "my John" but yet she has never been out with him. It's like she doesn't want him, but doesn't want anyone else to have him. I mean, either date him or not already! I don't know how to advise her on this, but she is 25 years old! I guess she's just nervous because she has never been on a date/in a relationship before, but I don't know what to tell her anymore.

Araelia V agony auntShe is obviously gelous but you need to tell her that she either needs to ask him out or she needs to forget him. She should go out with someone else. But not to make him jelous, she needs to get a feel of the playing field before she can get too gelous about a boy she never went out with. You need to make her understand that.
