Search Results: cocky guy

There's this guy at work who I find super attractive, and I got the impression he found me attractive too. However, because of the way he acts (he's quite cocky and gives off player vibes) and some of the gossip I had heard, I painted him as a fuckboy. We also didn't seem to have heaps in common.

Because I couldn't get over how hot he is, I pursued him initially making it clear that I only wanted to sleep with him, and implied i didn't particularly like him. We hooked up a few times, where I was quite cold to him to remain detached, though i did try to initiate a more 'friends with benefits' and hangouts, than just 'benefits'. I thought it was what he wanted, but now i think he might have liked me but couldn't show it. Probably also because he just wanted to be single. He ended it saying it wasn't what he wanted and he wasn't in a place in his life to want anything.

I tried to respect his decision and keep my distance as an amicable colleague. As time went on, i realised that we actually had a lot in common, and i started to see things under the cocky facade i liked. I also don't think he's the player he seems. I now have an actual massive crush and i can't stop thinking about him, even though i probably seem uninterested and distant. He also shows some signs of attraction, but otherwise keeps his distance. His work friends say he's interested and try to set us up, but they don't know this backstory.

It's been 3-4 months since our last hook up. I've reached a point where no matter what i do (hobbies, seeing other guys, focusing on work), i keep thinking about him.

Should i just let him know that I like him more than just sex, even though he rejected me once?
