Hi Ladies
I desperately need some relationship advice. I'm a 31 year old man and work with a woman who I am head over heels in love with. This is not a crush. I wish it was. The big issue is that she lives with her boyfriend who she has been going out with for about 10 years. They have only recently moved in together. I joined the company after this.
Now I am not someone who would try to break up a relationship. I liked her but never asked her out for that very important reason. However, in the last few months we have become very close. Our interests are identical even small far out things to the point we both stop and think how can we be that similar. We speak every day at work and she calls and texts me every day. We speak for hours most days after work. She usually calls and texts me first. She called me earlier today and on the phone for over an hr. I feel that she is showing physical tell tale signs. Always asking how I am, playing with her hair when we talk, fixing her clothes, sitting very close to me, asking how my sick relative is etc etc. She always asks my advice and seems she just likes being in my company. There is chemistry when we are together. However, no very obvious flirting signs.
She is a very mature intelligent lady and I don't think she would ever make it that apparent that she likes me that way. I think I have given her the impression that I really really like her and she has not backed off in her interaction with me which I assumed someone would do who has a boyfriend and not interesred in me that way. I have no girl or woman friends that I can ask for advice and I can't stop thinking about her. I don't know what to do. I'm not concerned about my job if we were to date. Half of me thinks she likes me as a friend and the other half thinks she likes me romantically but is worried about her job and current relationship and is very nervous on taking the next step. I am getting so many mixed vibes from her it is sending me crazy. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks
Mark
