You obviously like him but are probably wondering whether to put him firmly in the "friend" category because he hasn't asked you out and you haven't asked him out either.

Why blow a possibly good thing?

okay so yesterday was my last day at work with him. Today is his official last day, but my day off.

all week long we have been talking, and now I cant decide if I am attracted to him or just want to be his friend. I mean, I still think about him all the time, but when he gets to work I don get butterflies in my stomach or anything. I just enjoy working with him, and flirting with him.

I let him borrow a couple of more movies, and he still never brought them back. He could have still brought them into work today and left them for me... we will have to see if he remembered. However, yesterday I told him that if he did not bring them in by today that he would have to just take me out to lunch or something to pay me back. He just laughed and smiled- but didnt say no. Also, yesterday we were talking and he was asking me if I liked these certain guys that worked at HEB (we are in an instore branch) and I was telling him "there are no cute guys that come to this branch!" and he replied by saying "hello!! what about me, you just hit a blow to my face" (well something to that extent anyway) so I smiled and said "okay, well I mean, there are no cute customers that come to this branch" so he smiled and played it off. Then he was asking me what kind of guys I like.

Later, a friend of mine came by the branch to make a deposit and she was saying that she couldnt believe i was still at this branch and was driving all these miles since my branch hadnt opened so the guy i like said "we wouldnt have it any other way!"

He also teased me about being reserved again because he was helping out a customer and she was asking me if any people call me certain nicknames and I was telling her some names people call me and he butted in saying "i call her reserved" because he knows i hate it.

So nothing really happened, and when I left I gave him a hug and he told me to come visit him at his new branch, and that he would go to my new branch (whenever it opens!) to give me a hard time. I then asked him if he still had my number and he said yes. Then this other co-worker heard me asking him that and he said "why does he have your number and I dont?" so the guy I like said "because im special!" and when I was leaving he was pretending he was crying- kind of joking around.

So I never told him to call me to let me know how his new job goes, and I did not ask him out- however if he did not bring my movies back to work today, I will have to call him and then I can play up my joke about him taking me out to lunch again.

I had my chance, and I didnt go for it. I have just never asked a guy out, and for some reason I was second guessing myself about him these last few days. I am just not sure if I like him like that, but I certainly want him as a friend. Hopefully he didnt bring the movies back and I can call him in a few days. Maybe that was his plan all along?

I can only wish!
