The new guy at work and I have been getting closer each day. We talked to each other for hours and we have so much in common: favorite music, books, artists, etc. and we eventually exchanged personal email addresses. in the last email that I sent him I told him that I have been learning so much from him and I looked forward to him sharing knowledge with me whenever he could. He never responded to that email.
The next day he walked past my office looking straight ahead like he didn’t see me. I didn’t say anything to him and I took it as a sign that my email made him uncomfortable and that I should stop trying to be his friend.
Yesterday, as soon as he got to work, he walked past my office repeatedly, being very obvious about looking directly into my window. Then I have been receiving these work emails from him in which he is telling me how wonderful I am and how he is so appreciative of all that I do. I ran into him in the hallway and he tried to conversate with me but I kep the conversation very short.
Why is he all over me one day and ignoring me the next? Today he was running to open doors for me and he is sending me emails to ask for my help on things that he has never asked for my help on before.
Why is a guy that I am seemingly so compatible with giving off mixed signals already? From the beginning of when he first started working there, he was always the one to seek me out, so much so that one of my colleagues refers to him as my ‘best friend.’
