guy acting weird??
Hey all. I'll try to keep this as short as I can.
There is this guy who works across the road from me in a DVD rental store. I knew him to see him from just going in there with my bf occasionally. Anyway since I got this job (3 years ago) over time we began talking occasionally. I cant remember how long ago. Sometimes we would be outside at the same time and just shout across "so quiet bored to tears" or "weather is awful" stupid small talk.. One day about a year or two ago I asked him could he help me take a picture of my store on my laptop as I wanted to post one on FB. He said he would take it on his phone and send it to me which was easier. Since then if were both outside at the same time having a fag break, he will come over and just have a quick chat. He added me on FB and the odd time would like my statuses or email me "hello".
About a year ago, he confided in me that his partner lost her job, they cant pay their mortgage and are being evicted. I just felt sorry for them and allowed him to talk and get it off his chest. He didn't have a clue where to start looking for a new place so I sent him some links on FB of affordable housing near by. We talked for about 30 minutes that night me saying "its awful that the banks wont even try to help you by reducing the monthly payment as you have been paying it on time every month for like 5 years" etc just saying how they are evil bastards and its horrible how people are being treated. He then got very sentimental saying "thank you so much Michelle for your kind words, id be lost without you, you have been so good to me" etc etc. He also said "i haven't told anyone about this so please don't mention it to my colleagues or if you see me with my partner don't mention that you know". I thought that was weird but just shrugged it off and said "I'm gonna watch a DVD with my bf now so good luck, hope everything works out for you both"
Then he was transferred to a different location for like 2 or 3 months. He contacted me a few times on FB asking how am I getting on etc I just said "bored to tears, nothing to do, nobody to talk to etc. He again got very sentimental saying things like "miss you Michelle and our quick five min chats, so bored here without you, cant wait till I'm back so I can see you". At the time I thought is he drunk and just being a sap or what. Again I shrugged it off and just made an excuse to get offline again.
Since he came back, I've had a few chats with him just asking how is everything with his new house, hows his partner, did she find work etc-a few fag breaks together-small talk. But I went on FB yesterday for the first time in ages and noticed he mailed 4 or 5 times in the last month saying "hey" or "whats up" and then read back over the old emails and thought "holy crap is this like a one-sided emotional affair or something" what should I do? Just avoid him?
Ill just add before someone jumps up and down-I have no feelings for this guy, I'm not attracted to him, I honestly thought he was gay at first and was surprised to hear he even has a GF as hes very feminine, hes also older than me at least ten years and not my type at all.
