So, I've been at my place of employment for almost 4-years now. There is a guy that I work with, who I totally get along with and enjoy having him as a co-worker. I've always appreciated his friendship, because even though we are close and get along well, he has never given me "the" vibe... as in the I like you vibe. Don't get me wrong, we have never hung out outside of work unless it was a company function, we don't talk or text outside of work and our friendship has and will continue to be HR friendly. Not to mention, I am not the least bit attracted to him.

Well, the past few weeks... he is like a mosquito. He comes up to my desk to talk about 5 or 6 times a day. I come in early to work, 2.5 hours earlier then everyone else, so that I can get stuff done without being bothered. Well... guess who stated coming in 2.5 hours earlier this past month, and then wants to chat it up. When he comes up here, I say a few things to him, then I get back to work... and HE STILL STAND THERE. I then tell him.. um... is there something you need? He's an awesome guy and I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I feel like he's being a bug-a-boo, and when that goes on for too long, I go bitch mode.

Maybe he's suddenly taken an interest in you. This happens a lot ya know. 2 people who never really looked deep enough at each other...1 person might actually take a real look 1 day & say damn she/he is kinda sexy & it goes from there lol

For some odd reason, maybe he's seeing you different. Have you changed up your looks recently? Wore more makeup? Wore more form fitting clothes? Changed up your hair style ? Small changes in you that you figure no one will notice might be very noticeable & admirable to others

Maybe he's not interested in you at all, but is just looking for someone to talk to more b/c of something he's going through in his personal life. And since you've always been his "office friend," maybe that's why he's leaning a little bit more on you

Besides when work starts to get hectic & you're spending much longer hours at work than you used to, the chances of you sparking an interest in a co-worker or leaning on your co-workers for more personal support is higher
