Search Results: flirting with someone

Someone asked a post where they want to flirt with a work colleague that is merely being nice and it brought this question to my mind.

Would you date someone at work

I know a number of relationships start at work but almost as many people view dating at work as a "I don't shit where I eat" situation in that the potential hassle isn't worth the risk.

It is such some companies have completely forbid it in writing within employee contracts.

Not only does someone have to deal with the potential HR reprecussions if the one person isn't interested and the person who is interested can't take the hint / leave them alone.

But then there's the mess at work if the relationship goes south / ends badly & you have to still work together.

I had a huge crush on a guy for several years. I’ll refer to him as “A”. We used to flirt like crazy and I could tell he was into me. It was all in the intense eye contact and the body language. He also displayed jealousy if I was “flirting” with someone else.

A couple of years ago, I met another man to who I am now engaged. The first time “A” saw me with my partner, he completely ignored us and presumed he was just a friend. When he found out we were together, he constantly gave him dirty looks and was icily polite if he had to talk to him.

When A found out I was moving in with him and getting married to him, he became quiet and moody in his interaction with me. I saw him today and he barely said a word. I asked him if he was ok, and he said “yes, everything’s perfect”. He said it quietly gave me a fake smile.

Is he upset by the fact that I’m with someone else? Is he obsessed/in love with me?

I am asking this more as a language question than a “moral” one, would appreciate answers from native English speakers
