Is this friendly behaviour or more?

Mr A mids 40s, i am mid 20s. Both single work together. He does not do this with any one else.

He throws things at me then will tease i assault him e.g hoola hoops, my sweet bag, paper clip , soft things and he will aim for me. I always take the bait and end up smacking him on his arm not even hard but he will pretend it hurts and when i walk up to him he will put his finger on his mouth and do ssh noise then giggle before i hit him.

But then sometimes, i will ask him a question he will prolong it by saying he's busy 2minutes, then i will say it and then he will repeat 2minutes (he was actually reading the email i had sent him at the same time so why waste my time?)

Another example being i had asked him to forward me the email with these pictures on, he said no it would be waste time . Instead i had to go sit next to him and he went through the ten pictures one by one and then says i will forward it to you.

But then sometimes he will be moody and sometimes be all happy and when i say i am in a bad mood he makes me smile.

I told him i was going for a date whilst i was driving and he went all quiet and looked the other way as if in a different world, he was moody to me the next day. When we touch the same button in the car the same time our fingers touched he froze and looked at me but i looked the other way as i was angry at him for his mood swings.

Is this Friendship or more?

I do think that he really likes you and he dose not know what to do about it. Why not ask him to lunch where you two can talk about what is happening.

So_Very_Confused agony auntwell here's the rub... you work together and there is very little chance of a relationship working out with him long term due to the age difference.

IF you jump his bones you will start to care more than you do (it's human nature) and if it does not work out how will you feel having to face him at work every day?

if you think you can handle a casual fling and there is no problem with co-workers in your office dating and you know when it's over you can be professional, then go after him, no single guy is going to turn down free NSA sex.

just do not assume he wants a relationship with you...

He use to be flirty then we didnt see eachother for threemonths- he had a break from work and when he returned he was all moody. After i told him about the date he became flirty again.

oldbag agony auntHi

He is flirting but hasn't asked you out so could be an ego boost for him or maybe he thinks you would reject him. His behaviour, throwing stuff at you, is what children do to get attention, that's his midlife crisis showing.

The fact you work together is a stumbling block for dating, but as you are going on dates and telling him, he knows your not in a relationship.

Question is what do you want from him?

janniepeg agony auntHe's a guy with mid life crisis and needs a young girl to make him feel young again. He wants to be more than friends but is afraid to ask you out because of the age gap and company policy. You are his dream girl up until you tell him you are dating and that totally crushed him. He knows he can't be playful and flirty around you again. You did nothing wrong. Flirting does not have to mean you are going to date each other. I don't think his mood swings mean mind games, it means he has some feelings for you.
