I work with this guy, and I'm just recently out of a long term relationship (2 1/2 years), I'm not on the rebound or anything. It was a very abusive relationship, and I just kind of want someone to hang out with on a relationship level, but not have anything too serious.
Well I really like this guy, and he's been e-mailing me a lot lately at work. It SOUNDS like he likes me too. I was telling some of the things that he said to me to one of my male friends, and he said that he was hinting around at liking me... He also asked me if I wanted to go to this event tonight that he is going to be at. He didn't ask to go TOGETHER, but he mentioned that he would be there in a suit... Well considering that I work with him, I don't just want to come out and say hey i like you. Because if he doesn't like me back that would make it very uncomfortable to be at work and see him everyday... But at the same time I don't just want to dismiss this? Because I really do like him.... Any advice? Thanks! :

email back!
and go to the event!! talk to him more and be more perceptive on the signals he's giving you but don't overanalyze him
it really isn't the end of the world if things don't work out with a co-worker, if he's not mature enough to be able to be professional at work then you know he's not worth your time at all
but do be careful, even if you don't think he'll be a rebound, sometimes things turn out that way and you don't want to hurt him, so don't lead him on if you have any feeling that he might just be a rebound

Work on being friends!! :) Apparently he's already noticed you if he is e-mailing you. Make sure that you like him and not just the attention. If it is meant to be, it will work out. And before anything gets started, lay down your cards. Let him know what you are looking for. Guys do NOT like surprises when it comes to relationships.

I am not going to ask a girl out to an event I am going to be at unless I was interested in her. Even though you aren't going there together at the sametime, you are still there together aren't you? Give it a try.

Hang out, see what happens. Start slow...ask him out for coffee or something, or if he's at that event tonight, ask him out after that. If he's up for spending more time with you, odds are he likes you.

You're most certainly welcome. I say start out as friends first, continue with the emails, and see where it goes from there. Good luck, I hope everything works out for the best :)
