writes: Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be going on? This guy, a senior person at work, has been having a tough time so I used to jolly him along, sending him supportive emails. When we are alone he always seems welcoming and friendly and has replied to my emails telling me how he feels about the stress he has been in. I can tell by his eyes that he enjoys my company. When he seemed better I stopped sending personal emails because he never really says much in reply and I thought I was being more of a pain than a help as he never responded more than he had to. Then he recently passed a comment that I haven't sent any non work emails, then when I do again, he doesn't reply at all. Then I innocently asked him to check something out in my office and a co-worker (as they do) said he shouldn't miss such an invitiation to which he replied I would frighten him to death and he prefers little women anyway (I am quite tall). Then a day or two later he comments on the phone I take him too seriously, and he gently brushes my cheek, I gently and spontaneously squeeze his hand and we carry on doing work stuff as if it never happened. Then he goes back to ignoring me most of the time unless I have to ask him work related things and we are back to being comfortable with each other again until we get interrupted. I am really confused by this guy's behaviour. I really like him, but I don't know if he sees me as a thorn in his side, or he genuinely likes me being around and is just covering up. Any comments?
