Should I tell him I like him or forget about him?

[Anonymous]

A few years ago me and this guy met at work and we got on like a house on fire it was an instant connection which I think we both realised we felt after a while. He told me he had feelings for me but I was in a relationship so I lied and said I didn’t feel the same😔my relationship has since ended and I’m a single mum. We still see each other at work regularly even though he works in a different department and it still feels like there’s a spark between us every time our eyes meet. But he’s just recently started seeing someone that his friends have set him up with and I think he does like her even though nothings happened between them yet so I feel like I shouldn’t tell him now how I feel incase it ruins his chance of happiness if he’s forgotten all about me and trying to move on with her I don’t want to come between that but also I don’t want to regret it for the rest of my life not telling him. He’s the first person I’ve ever felt this kind of way about even though I’ve been in love and been married before with him it’s different. He’s like a best friend and someone I could deeply truly love and be happy with.

Tell him! It'll be on your mind for so long, especially if you see him regularly.
Just tell him the truth, I am confident he still feels the same way about you.

Right now you're single, if you say and he isn't interested, you're still the same single. But if he says he feels the same, boom couple. Win win

The fact that he confessed feelings for you while knowing that you were in a relationship is a huge red flag. That was highly inappropriate.
This dude is scum. You need to run far away from him.

He didn’t know I was in a relationship at the time it was fresh we were just new work colleges

At what point did you get into this relationship?

I married 7 years ago. Had my daughter and went back to work which is when this “said guy” joined my company after some time of getting on well generally he expressed he has some kind of feelings for me. I told him I was married and had no feelings for him so he apologised and we moved on and never spoke about it. Thing he didn’t know was I was going through divorce and I did have feelings for him I just lied

If you were going through a divorce, then you absolutely did that right thing by telling him that. That was the appropriate course of action to take. So great job! I am impressed. A lot of women do not have your ethics.
