Is he interested?

I completely understand your situation. Last year, I worked with "Beth", who I was very attracted to. We worked in the same dept. , every day for 2 years. I would cut off two of my fingers to sleep with her, except that I am married, so it was a no-go.

In any case, I think she knew. The eyes cannot hide what the heart truly feels.

If I were you, I would take the high ground. Be honest, be direct, but be coy. Remember, you are the Lady. And that's what every man really wants. Don't sell the farm, but on the other hand, don't be afraid to challenge your man with questions such as:

"I enjoy your company, would you like to ____________ (whatever)? "

"Would you like to have dinner with me on a regular day, so that we could get to know each other? "

"I like our hugs. Would you like to express more intimacy? "

I would advance this a bit but not too aggressively because this could make him withdraw from you a bit depending on his personality. You would be able to predict his reaction a bit better. Perhaps start by saying, instead of talking outside for so long, let's go get a cup of coffee.

When you talk to him if he sits and listens, and he's hugging you, and flirting then I would say yes he is interested. and as far as telling him how you feel.. you should tell him don't loose out on the chance of seeing how he feels about you you'll never know if you don't tell him and see how he reacts..if he could be the one and you care for him he should know about it..if you don't tell him you lose the chance of ever knowing and could be missing out on a shot for love..so go for it and don't worry about if he doesn't feel the same way at least you'd be gaining a good friend!

I agree with timey. He either really likes or he is gay. I am really shy so sometimes it's hard for me to tell a girl so I use subtle moves to try and show my interest. Take some intitiave if you have to.

If he's shy, he could actually be very interested, and not sure how to show it. Plus, many people think that 10 year age difference is an issue. I would NOT start thinking he's the ONE. That is a recipe for disaster. Reign your heart in a bit, yet do show interest. Be aware that he could be an emotionally unavailable person, and not just shy. And, if that's so, you need to protect your heart. Don't get carried away with fantasy, yet do be open to possibilities. I know that's not always easy. Do NOT tell him how you feel at this point. But hint that you'd like to do something. For example, let him know you'd love to see a certain show, but have no one to go with. And then let him step up to the plate. If he doesn't, then ask yourself if this would be the type of person you'd want. You need to get to know him better...or be aware that he does not have the courage to pursue you. Take some time to list the 5 main things you would want from a perfect relationship. Then ask yourself if he has those qualities. If not, it would be best to let go of the idea of romance and when you see the right qualities in someone, you will recognize them. You will save yourself much heartbreak in the long run. However, he may step up to the plate and you may have the opportunity to get to know him better. That would be nice. Whatever happens, keep your eyes open, and always listen to your feelings. If something doesn't feel right, then don't pursue it. Good Luck.
