Hi there! I wonder if anyone has an opinion on this and would like to share it with me...feel free to be totally honest!
I'm 27 years old, and I haven't had a serious relationship so far. I wouldn't say that I'm very picky, or unlovable or something, but the thing is that I've never been really interested in any of the guys I've ever meet. For a while I really thought that something was seriously wrong with me... :) Until I realized that I'm just so damn romantic that I kept waiting for the ONE guy who'd be my soulmate, someone who totally swept me off my feet...
Now I finally met this great guy and I'm absolutely crazy about him. I met him about four weeks ago, and from the start I had this feeling that he was different. I was also very much under the impression that he liked me, and everything he ever said and all his actions just confirmed this feeling - and there was even other people around us who told me that it was very obvious that we liked each other. There was definitely something between us, so that some people seeing us together actually thought that we were married! Everything was so easy with him, there was never an awkward moment, and we got along just great. We never went out on a date, nor was there ever any touching or kissing, it was just a platonic thing.
But here's the complicated part...I'm actually his boss's boss (which I don't have a problem with, but maybe he does?), and in addition to that, the chances that I will ever see him again are pretty slim (too complicated to go into now...).
So the last day we saw each other, I started to panick because I had a feeling that I needed to do something before I fly back home to my office and that I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't. I mean, there's finally a guy I'm really excited about, and I just keep quiet about it? So after a lot of struggling with myself, I told him that I had feelings for him. He was very surprised and didn't know what to say, but he was so sweet about it. What he said was that he thought I was really sweet, but that he really hasn't known me for that long...but he would really like to see me again. BUT he also said that he didn't have those kind of feelings for me. He really was the sweetest guy, having a hard time trying to tell me this without hurting my feelings...
The problem is that now I like him even more, because the way he reacted really confirmed to me that I was right about him. He's such a great guy!
Now I'm starting to realize that maybe it was wrong to be so forward...I'm usually not like that, to be honest I never told a guy that I liked him. But I was really desperate because I didn't want to leave without having told him how I felt.
I am not going to do anything about this right now because I don't want to scare him off or something. But I still do feel that he wasn't honest with me, and that he actually does have some kind of feelings for me. I can usually pretty much trust my gut feeling, and the fact that other people noticed something as well really confirms this feeling.
What do you think, should I still keep up my hopes that one day I will hear from him (he did ask his boss for my phone number after I left), or am I just a total nut imagining stuff and making up things in my mind?
