Weird situation with Married Guy
Ok, first of all, we aren’t dating. We aren’t fooling around. We aren’t even inappropriately texting. But we do talk.
So I met a guy through work. We have some sort of chemistry. It’s weird cause he isn’t my type…but somehow is.
Backstory. This guy is a newer hire at my company. My mom is the CEO so there’s obviously a ton of scrutiny on me and my position. I do very well there. Top seller in the 7 figure range. Recently we hired someone on a different department and we hit it off. I have been divorced for 4 years and have not dated. Took the time to go through therapy and all. I’m happily single.
Enter in this new guy. He’s a few years older than me. Smart, friendly, and an absolute asset to the team. He is going through a divorce. Him and his wife were married for 7 months. She’s an alcoholic with an adult son that lives with them and he’s at his wits end. I only know his side obviously.
We talk every day because our positions overlap and require communication. We’ve talked on the phone outside of work, about life and all that. He’s really nice, probably lacks confidence, but seems genuine. I can tell he likes me. I’m not opposed to the attention. Him and his wife have been married 7 months and he just moved out, not because of me. I am no part of their problems.
How do I go about this? Like I said, I’m happily single, I have a home and have sole custody of my 8 year old. I haven’t considered dating too much but I’m kinda into this guy. He’s not exactly discreet about his growing feelings. Do I just let this play out or do I ignore it all together? Him and his wife dated for two years before getting married. I have no intention of getting married again.
