I have a hard time figuring out why my colleague acts sooo strangely. We talked and joked to each other a lot every day in the office though almost all our conversations were work related. And lately I noticed that he started to flirt a bit in certain ways. My guts tell me that he likes me. But whenever we were out of office with other colleagues on corporate functions, he would act as if he wants to get away from me. For instance, I tried several times to have conversations with him, and he would stop short or just step away. Suddenly he seemed to be a totally different person... Why is acting so strangely?

Official - I am finally over this crush. Praise the Lord!

This every afternoon, I was still desperately praying to God for help me not to act on my crush over this colleague. Honestly it has been the hardest months in years, since we are getting really close and sometimes just on the edge. The most difficult part about a crush on a colleague is that there is almost no way out since you interact with the person every single day. Every new encounter just tore the wound wide open where you tried SO hard to close the day before. And the worst part is that you can not turn to any friend when fighting the temptation since you feel guilty and know the problem lies in you and yourself.

For those of you in this forum, whom are still struggling against themselves not to step into extra-marital affairs with colleagues, here is my advice: open your heart and pray to God and trust that he will help you save your purity.

Maybe he's worried about how his colleagues would feel about him liking you. How do you feel about the whole situation? Would you like to stay in this whole situation where one moment he likes you and the next he doesn't? If not then just ignore it.

My first instinct tells me that he is either married or in a serious relationship, he may have drawn an invisible line in the sand that he will not cross. This may explain why most of your conversations are work related. You are probably right he does like you but he is making it very clear that it is only as a work mate.
