    Should I take her word for it and not bother with him?

    At my new job there's more girls than guys. There's this one guy they're all in love with. Since I've been there, the "new girl" he's been giving me the eye, we've been gazing at each other, and he's been getting noticeably upset/cold when I talk to the very few other guys there. Hes always hanging around. Instinct says he likes me...but today a female friend of his (who is married so I don't see what she has to gain from advising me against him) told me he doesn't want a girlfriend. But that's the story he's given so far to subtly reject the girls already there.

    With me, he acts different.

    But after she told me this I just want to start avoiding him to protect my feelings. But he's been showing interest and I feel like its unfair of me to just start avoiding him because of what this girl told me.

    First she asked me rather accusingly (and out of nowhere) if I liked him. Then quickly covered the bluntness with "because everyone likes him."

    Should I take her word for it or just keep talking to him like I have been?

    Ps the girl doesn't really like me...I catch her staring at me a lot & though she's married she hangs around with this guy often and her friend is in love with him. (But he doesn't like her & distances himself from her)

    Sounds like a complicated and bitchy workplace. You'd be wise to not get too close to anyone there.
    Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.

    Are you sure your workplace isn't a high school class?

    lol this does sound unrealistic.. So all the girls in the office drool over him? Id tell there husbands so they can get spanked when they go home

    I dont agree with workplace romances. I think it is stupid of people to date co-workers.

    You should get a new job if you want to date him

    It sounds like he likes you so just talk to him. Are you sure those b**ches aint saying nasty s**t about you to him?

    Michelle, aren't you always saying that if a guy has a bad reputation, then you won't even consider him?

    I'm also curious as to what you'd do if a bitch said nasty shit about you to a guy. I haven't heard a mouse roar in a while.

    Don't date a co-worker. That's lazy and unprofessional. Just do your job, and keep your personal life on your personal time.
    Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions.

    What type of job do you have where there are more women then guys, work in health? Sounds like the other woman likes him too, even though the chick is married -- maybe they got it on in the past and she is possessive of him, ignore her she sounds jealous.

    How old are all the players in this and why do you like this guy?
    Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.
