*HUGS*
I’m with Sarita, I think you should take him out for a goodbye/goodluck dinner or something soon (wink wink). Is today his last day, or in 2 weeks? I’d do it now, if it’s today, but if he’s got some time, then ask next week.
I find if we don’t do what our hearts are telling us, we’ll always have a regret. *BIG HUGS* Good Luck, and I’m sorry ur feeling sad, that’s no fun

you guys are great… more responses by the time i answer a post. thanks
he’s single. divorced a few years ago. has 3 kids 9 – 14 who he’s a very dedicated father too. when i first met him he seemed slightly disillusioned to the whole dating thing having had a not-so-nice divorce but the edge seems to have gone now.

Met my hubby at work.
It could happen. ^_^
Although I have to admit, if he’s strong on his parenting, he has to look very carefully at who would be part of the kids’ lives. Funny, even though my two are pretty much grown, I couldn’t imagine dating or remarrying if I ever had to do it, simply for the effect it would have on them. But that’s just me.At least you have some foreknowledge to go on about each other, having worked together. That’s a plus.

NOT TO OFFEND, JUST ONE TEEN’S PERSPECTIVE!!! (from personal expirience’s)
on the whole kids topic, and myself being…. around those ages. my mom seperated from my dad when i was just little so i had her all to myself for quite awhile, then all of a sudden this new guys in my life and acting like my dad… and being a teen. he’s not my dad and to be honest i dont respect him or like him at all. the reason for this is because he rushed into our lives. and hasnt taken an intrest to me or my sister, he basically ignores us, except when he feels that were doing something ‘he’ doesnt like. he takes my moms complete attention and leaves none for us. ive known him 2 years. hes lived with us scince I met him.
anyways im not here to rant :p or scare you. i personally think its great and your doing the right thing
just saying, pay a little more attention to the kids… make them like you BEFORE it gets serious….. in my oppinion. if my moms bf was more respectful to us and tryed “relating?” to us i would like him alot more, instead of being forced to like him.in general, have some interest in the kids
-
oh totally sarita… first things first. i was speaking about dating some one with kids in general since there have been comments on that topic.
actually i got to thinking over the weekend… i have asked him out for a drink after work twice. once to celebrate after he found out he passed a final exam (the last course he needed for a diploma) which was 2 weeks ago and then last friday when he gave his notice. both times he had plans. fair enough since they were last minute requests, but there was no ‘maybe another time’ or ‘i can’t tonight, how about next week’.
if i had the guts i’d just walk upto him and say ‘dude do you like me or what?’ (i’m paraphrasing of course
) i feel like i went out pretty far on that limb so far and he’s back there hugging onto the trunk for dear life. lol. basically i think i’ve hinted around enough. if a girl asks you out twice for drinks surely thats a clear sign that she is interested right? -
See now, I’m curious about the rumor!
I think you are coming down a bit hard on him.
I have to admit that if I had an insider joke going on with someone, and a third person came by and asked a question, that would set off that insider joke, I would exchange looks and laugh as well. And not necessarily tell the third person, if the joke was silly or untrue. And I guess most people don’t want to be the one to spread the rumor, so I think it is expected that they did not want to tell you at that time.
And you did ask twice about the rumor, so it is hard for him to know that it was bad to tell you, because you at that time seemed eager to know. So perhaps now he feels a bit bad about having spread the rumor, especially due to your reaction, and that is why he is being awkward today?

LOL
You know what Babybunsmum, I have a theory that you cannot fancy someone who doesn’t fancy you…it’s a chemistry thing. Like, when there is someone at work, you reeaaally don’t like, I am confident that although they smile at you, they think you are just as horrible as you think they are. It’s gotta go both ways

thank you thank you thank you for your comments. friday i was so freaked out. oi. when i left for the weekend he was in a colleague’s office and so i ducked out fast without having to face him. (said ‘good-bye, have a nice weekend’ to our coworker who he carpools with & asked that he pass on the sentiment for me so i didn’t come across rude).
anyways, by the time i got home and read your comments i felt a whole lot better. and i had the weekend to prepare for this last week of working with him. i would rather make a fool of myself like i did than keep my feelings totally hidden. with a really good guy it’s just worth the risk. so i came in this morning with my head high and a smile on my face.
and he is very chatty with me today
he saw me from down the hall when i first came in and shouted good morning, and later made a point to ask me about my weekend. when i asked about his weekend he chatted about his kid’s soccer tourni. i’m so relieved. i was really afraid he would be trying to avoid me. phew. now that that’s over i’m back to thinking i’m really gonna miss him. i think his last day before he heads out i will make one last attempt and ask if we could goto our coworker’s stag & doe together. (secretly, i’m hoping he might make an attempt to connect with me on his own before friday)
-
well. there isn’t much to say really. my plans to ask him to our colleague’s stag & doe didn’t work out. i waited til the end of the day and all of a sudden he was standing beside me with his hand extended like he wanted to shake my hand. it took me a second to clue in that he was saying goodbye and by then he opened his arms for a hug. sweet. he mumbled some thing about probably seeing me around. not sure exactly what he said. when i brought up the subject of the stag & doe he said ‘oh yeah!’ and turned to ask our colleague for 2 tickets before i could get another word in. then i got scared off of asking him. why 2 tickets? he must have plans to take some one else? plus we weren’t alone. *sighs*
so anyways, earlier i had written my cell number on the back of my business card to give to him. i planned to say something cute like ‘if you ever want to go out for that drink’ when i handed it to him but all that came out of my mouth was ‘just incase’. good grief. i think i shrugged too. its a bit of a blur.
so graceful or not, he has my number and the proverbial ball is in his court. i didn’t hear from him this weekend and am feeling pretty blue
-
Don’t feel blue *HUGS*
As long as you know you did something and tried that is all that matters, you can have no regrets about doing nothing now. Who knows what the future holds, i find though the more I think about soemthing it usually never turns out the way i wants it, but then i get something i didn’t expect a little later down the road (Oh and bringing a super hot date to the event he is also attending could be fun too LOL :p )
-
lol mirbear… no worries about backfiring. i was being a bit silly about bringing a ‘hot date to be flirty with’. i def want to bring a date tho. not to try to try to spark jealousy but just to save face and so i don’t have to go alone. there will be 500 strangers there other than the 5 people i know, most of whom are 15 – 20 yrs younger than me. it was a good thing to find out that this guy has a significant other who he keeps quiet about. i asked a female colleague if she knew he had an s.o. and she was as surprised as i was. she said she teased him about having one and he always denied it. so i got a better glimpse at him and as good a guy as he may be, i’m looking for a man who doesn’t need to keep his options open if ya know what i mean.
