Is he over me? Some background: we have worked together for over a year. We were friends and then became more. We dated for about 6 months but were on a work project together than began to go bad and we began to have some arguments over work. The private life stuff was fine. He broke it off saying that it was affecting our work - he was right. He still wanted to be friends... Sounds easy right? Not so much…
Signs he still likes me as more than friends (or maybe it is just me searching):
I am still the one he forwards the "wtf" e-mails to
I am still the one he forwards his kudos e-mails to where other people are saying nice things about him (puffing his feathers?).
He made sure to text me when he was in a fender bender and still on-site
He comes over to fix things once in a while.
He wants me to come with him to find his Mom’s birthday gift
When he does call we are talking for hours
I am the one he confides in about work
Signs he doesn’t like me (or again, maybe I am searching):
He won't come over to watch a movie or have dinner. I have asked him on a couple of occasions since the alleged split.
He doesn‘t call or text as frequently, but still at least an e-mail semi-daily. Sometimes about work but not a really necessary e-mail.
I don't understand. He has severe relationship issues from his past so I get that things need to go slow - I want them to go slow too (getting over a divorce myself) Does it sound like he still likes me but is taking steps back? Do you think he is just being a friend and I am searching for signs?
I am going on a work trip for the next 2 weeks. Anyone think I should purposely try not being in personal contact with him to give us lots of space?? Any advice is appreciated.
