Search Results: late with the first date

I work at a school and have feelings for a colleague. We talk and text regularly. Once, he told our mutual friend he doesn't date in the workplace. I'm leaving in a week and my crush has been helping me job search. Recently, there were days when he would text first 2-3 days in a row. We seemed to have become good friends, having heart-to-hearts. Last Saturday, there was an elementary graduation, and prior to it he had asked me if I'm going. We talked about a student whose parents aren't present much, and he suggested we take the family photo with him if his parents didn't show up. When I got to the grad, it seemed I'd missed a text from him asking where I was. He was already seated in the front row and I took an open seat in the row behind. A few mins later, I finally noticed his text. Once it was time to socialize, I decided to congratulate the students, who I think of like my own children, before going over to chat with him. He started chatting with others. But, the conversations and picture taking took longer than I thought, and when I was done he was gone. I found him at his work desk. We had a moment alone. Eventually, I wanted to get back to the party, he went home. I left with the students and noticed him still in sight, walking towards the station. I called out to him, and we took a pic together with some kids. Since then, we've had conversations and text but there's also this other girl who seems to flirt with him at work. Yesterday was my last day with the students, and I've been super emotional. After the kids left, I went straight to see him. But, the other girl was there. He was showing her videos of students, and they laughed together. My former teacher is my colleague and his co-teacher, so she's usually in the room too. I sat with her, and she whispered that she thinks they like each other. I eventually left. Since then, our text convos seem to be short. I can't tell if I've lost my chance or if I'm just emotional.

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.
