writes:I worked with this guy on and off for the last few months. When we first worked each with each other, there was just a mutual flirtation. We always found silly excuses to talk to each other, but I didn't know him very well. More recently, it got to the point that we were working almost one on one with each other. It was at this time that I found out he had a live-in girlfriend. This hurt me especially badly because I had built him up in my head to be the perfect man. I was disappointed he had flirted (or done what I perceived to be flirting) with me despite his relationship status. I kept my distance from him as much as I could after I discovered his relationship status, but due to our close working relationship, we became friends. I quickly found out that he is everything I wanted him to be; nice, funny, smart, interesting. Regardless of my intimate feelings for him, I didn't mind putting them behind as long as I could be close to him. He always listened to my questions and came to me if I needed help. We made up silly games together, shot elastics at each other, and spoke with funny accents. He left for a while and when he came back, there was an amazing energy between us no one could deny. As much as I tried to push him away I just couldn't. A few weeks ago, he left my work for another place (within our organization at another location). Because I took over some of his work, I have to call him sometimes to ask questions, so we still talk to each other. We live quite far away from each other. A few days ago he called me at work for no real reason. Sometimes I wonder if I had told him how I felt if something would have happened between us. I don't know when I will see him next, but I wonder if, when I do see him again, if I should tell him how I feel. I'm not really expecting anything to happen if I do tell him, I just feel like I need to get it off my chest. I don't know if I should tell him or leave it to fate!
