We have so much in common and get along really well, but since I don't know how he feels about me I have kind of been treating him like a little brother (he is 5 yrs younger than I am). Sometimes I get the feeling that he is attracted to me and other times it seems like he just doesn't even realize I am around. The main problem is that I think about him much much too often, have trouble sleeping, and am not enjoying living abroad as much as I should be because I just want to be with him. Sigh! I am not sure if I should just be honest with him and hope that he has some of the same feelings for me or keep it under wraps and see if it ends up working out on its own. I feel really pressed for time and don't want to miss an opportunity. I think we could have a good relationship together and I am considering staying abroad after this contract ends. It's just hard because we do work together and I don't want to make things more difficult with someone that I see everyday. I just can't help falling for him and it scares me to think that this could all just end and I'd never see him again. Reply to this Question

 Instead of going up to him and telling him that you like him, why not just ask him out for a drink or something, try and get to know him outside of work. Just play it simple and try and flirt lightly. If he flirts back then tell him you like him or suggest that you meet up again maybe for dinner or something and take it from there. Good luck.
