My attorney is a very good friend I’ve known 30+ years. We have always gotten along so well & have always liked each other as friends. It’s truly a solid, special & unique connection that I cherish.
I can be sitting here and think of him and he calls/texts me out of the blue.. It’s usually about legal business but, he’s slipped up and said some things during a few conversations that let me know he likes me more than he wants to admit. Like calling me Boo one day after I told him I was in so much pain from my injury. Then getting quiet as if he realized he said it out loud and rushed me off the phone.
Another time when I said I was leaving the area once my case settled, he blurted out that he didn’t want me to leave him. Again, he got quiet and rushed off the phone. I’m not very forward with men in general when it comes to dating. I’m not shy if we’re together but if they’re not telling me outright that they’re interested, I won’t put my feelings out there.
Since he hasn’t said anything outright, I don’t say anything about how I really feel about him. He’s a beautiful person inside and out so, I’m not sure if he’s seeing anyone seriously or even casually dating. I’ve never asked about his romantic relationships although I do know he’s not married. However, with all he has going on, I can’t imagine he’s not seeing someone.
We’ll always be good friends but I feel like there’s more there and neither one of us knows how to approach it. My feelings about him get stronger each day but him not being forthcoming about what he’s thinking or feeling? I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place and very hesitant about saying anything.
