Guy 1: The Junior
I met him two years ago and developed feelings for him. We're both musicians (amateur) in a band. Most of our interactions have been when jamming. He's younger and under work circumstances my feelings have been a secret. I couldn't let him go, even when he started dating this girl. After less than a year, she was fired and moved to another prefecture. Recently, we've exchanged glances. I'll be fired this month because of my messy relationship with my bosses who tricked me into signing a contract. Well, it's more complicated than that, but the point is that I told the Junior is that I'm leaving. He worried about me. When I leave, it will change the dynamic of our situation- the boundaries that keep us apart will no longer exist. He's a pianist, and shortly after I told him I'm leaving, he invited me to his recital. I promised him I would go, and it'll be the first time we interact outside the workplace.

Guy 2: The Friend
He joined the workplace back in April. He's also a musician and his work involves music. He's my senior. We're in the same circle of friends. Our friend doesn't believe we're a match because he's an "innocent" Christian and I'm not. But, we have great conversations. He once told our friend that he doesn't date in the workplace. But, ever since finding out I'm leaving, he texts often and helped me find a new job. The other day, we attended a formal work event. I didn't notice that he'd texted me, looking for me. I noticed while there was a speech happening and we were seated apart. Afterwards, I was busy talking to others and he was too, so I didn't rush to him. He disappeared and I went to find him. Eventually, I did, and we talked. But, there were others in the room. I later returned to the event room, as it was important to me. At the end, I was taking pictures with others outside. I spotted him walking towards the station and shouted out to him to take pictures together. We did. He told me to have fun at the after party.

A friend of mine told my crush that I like him a couple of months ago. She thought she will be doing a really good thing although at the time I was not interested in pursuing anything with him. I told him that I had no intentions to follow up on this crush and that I did not ask my friend to intervene. He said he is comfortable with us beeing friends and that he likes it the way it is. He also has a lot of projects in front of him that require his whole attention. I don't even think he is looking for a girlfriend. I am sure though that physical atttaction is not the problem. I think he does find me attractive, at least a little bit. For a while we did not see each other because of outer circumstances but lately he reached out to me. We have ongoing conversations on the phone now and he has been opening up about his inner life quite a bit. He trusts me and talks to me about his problems and worries. I am a good listener and I like to be there for people I care about and also I feel I understand him really well. Do you think, that a guy can develop feelings of romantic attraction also based on that comforting and supportive connection? I like it the way it is now and I don't mind if it stays like this and my crush feelings are also not so strong anymore. But on the other hand it would be nice... What are your experiences with female friends? Did you develeop feelings based on a caring supportive nature?
