There is a mutual attraction between one of my colleagues and myself. It has happened slowly and we are going to meeting up in a couple of weeks. Sometimes it seems that an attraction can be sensed by others around....people do not miss much. That being said it has been a professional relationship to this point. I am puzzled though by the behaviour of some of my colleagues. All of a sudden the other women in the office are hugging and flirting with the guy in front of me and one of my male colleagues who is married has asked me out. It could be that I am extra sensitive right now because of all that is happening but still I do not need this. Why might this happening?

 I think you are just over sensitive just now, even your job is highly stressful. People are noticing you and him are very friendly, you're right, some people miss nothing. You know you're meeting up with him soon but no one else knows so you're probably even MORE sensitive that something will stand in the way to stop this going ahead and every little thing, no matter how small will come across to you as something bigger. The girls flirting with him have probably always been there but now you're much more aware of it because your feelings for him have grown more. The married man asking you out is nothing more than coincidence.
Just calm down, take deep breaths, smile and be friendly to all and sundry, keep your head down and before you know it the day of your meeting up will be here!
