To make a long story short. There is this guy that I work with, we have had a "sexual relationship" for about a year now. I was the one who decided that's all it would be... of course he agreed, what guy wouldn't? I really didn't like hinm in that way or at least I thought I didn't until he started showing attention to another woman we work with. It irrritates me! I find myself getting jealous whenever I see them talking. I have told him how I feel about it and that I think something is going on between them. He says there is no way that would ever happen. He says he isn't attracted to her in that way, however, when she's in the room, he won't talk to me. Not that he talks to her either but he just stops talking to me. My question is this... how do I be a big girl and handle this maturely? How do I act like I don't care?

Thanks! You're right I do care more than I have been willing to admit but I'm just afraid that when she leaves (she will be leaving in a couple of weeks) I won't feel the same? I guess I will know then. Thanks for your reply.

birdynumnums agony auntYou can't "act" like you don't care because you obviously do care about him, more than you have been willing to admit to yourself? There is only one solution, Put your cards on the table. Tell him that you have feelings for him and see if he wants to take it to the next level. Whatever happens after that, you will have your answer. You never know, he could be doing this with the intention of provoking a response from you to admit your feelings (but, it's more of a tactic that women use, rather than men). Best of luck, hope things work out for you.
