I've known him for 5 years been acquianted 2, started hooking up last summer and now I work with him. I've liked him since I laid eyes with him, but avoided the feelings it's scary he's just like me and I'm vicious and clever and so is he. We have the same birthday to the year. Which is how we started talking as friends. He'd hit me up to meet up, go over when he'd be on breaks with serious gf we didn't hook up until they were officially done. Once in a friends car another time at a friends house both times drunk. In the winter my coworkers hired him knowing the history cause he's like the lil brother unfortunately I'm also like the lil sister. So they tease him endlessly. We haven't hooked up since or really were friends or talked after the hookups but now we have a very forced but now comfortable friendship. We see each other 3+ days a week. We drink together. I cocktail he bartends were both in college it's not permedent for either of us. I can't dream of a better guy but I'm on my toes so much I'm collapsing. We touch and googly eye and flirt but sometimes I feel he pulls away. Sometimes he references hooking up sexually or insultingly or flirty but he is always referencing it and usually as the best days of my life. I hear the way to their heart is flattery. He's ego is so big I'm afraid of it. He swears I'm in love with him I reply in eye rolls I feel like I can't give him what he wants or is that my Leo pride?? I'm afraid of looking like a love sick puppy and that being a turn off and what pushes him away. Idk what the proper course of action is here.
