Do you think this male coworker & I can develop more than a friendship?
For the past few months we have emailed each other like crazy about the political campaign, but haven’t gotten past a surface friendship. I am hesitant & so he is. For me it is because my life is too boring to talk about & I don’t want him to be turned off because of that. Maybe that is how he feels too. We do flirt. We mainly email each other and we do it all day. He emailed me today saying he doesn’t know what to do without all of the emailing all day once the campaign ends. I’ve turned him down before for lunch because I don’t want to bore him. Yet we joke all day via email, mainly about politics. Finally we’re going to go to lunch based on a bet we made regarding the campaign. Do you have any tips on how to be better friends and maybe more? Do you think we’ll always have just a superficial friendship that will end? Thx.
Find something else to goof around about before the election is over so the emails can continue…maybe politics related? Best politics movie: Manchurian Candidate, All the President’s Men, Good Night and Good Luck, etc.? Then just take that and run.
And honestly, you are a woman. Show interest and he’s in.
i think your insecurity in yourself is holding you back. build your confidence. he seems interested theres no need to be so worried
My best advice is to stay away from coworker relationships. Go to your job to “work” If you end up getting hurt by this guy then you’ll prob be the one pushed outta your job not him. Be careful, g’luck with your situation.
that is rather simple, if you like him, tell him.
ask him if he has anything going on at Saturday night and have a few “hang-outs” then he should warm up to you more
It sounds like you are exciting enough for him. Give it a shot. Something great could happen from it.
Get interesting. You probably already are to him, but if you’re feeling dull, try going out and doing something. If you dig politics, get involved with that. Do other, non political things. Join a book club, go out with the girls.. try something new.
That being said, it probably isn’t a good idea to date your coworkers. What will he do once the election is over… what will you do when the relationship is over and you’re forced to see him everyday.
