Ive known this man very limited through business contacts for a year or so. I'm pretty sure he's married and about 10 yrs older. He's known for being really serious but when hes around me he'a so much fun. - others have noticed this. we have long talks about work and he gets quite flirtatious. I only see him like once a yr or so. This time was more so. He tried to give me his jacket one night and said to keep it, which seemed odd. Someone else forced it back on him. Then saw him again and followed me around talking to me and saying he wasnt hitting on me. I was looking for something i lost and he came with me and he said 'what did u say, you want to fool around with me' i just laughed and said no that is not what i said. Later that night he sat at the bar next to me when i was talking to tje bartender about a drink i like. He just sat there with his head in his hand smiling at me. I started to sense maybe something, so got myself out of the situation and he later left. I sent him an email about work and he said what a pure delight i am. Since then, we ended up emailimg each other about work topics and he was like 'stay in touch, stay in touch - never too busy for u and if u want to brainstorm on anything call me' - there's really no need business wise for us to collaborate. We also dont live anywhere near each other. I emailed him back professionally - a bit long winded - but also said i would love to chat whenever he is free sometime and complimented him on his reputation. i havent heard a word back. That was a week ago and i feel like an idiot. Was it all just bull that he said? Did i get my signals crossed and he was never interested in me? Or did i reply too soon? Just wondering. Not reaching out to him again. im also no longer with my husband as a sidenote.
