Should i just let it go?

Ok, so i work with this guy who i've been crushing on for about 7 months now. He'll randomly text me out of no where, and the conversation will go on for an hour, or more. A couple of mutual friends have asked him why we're not together yet, and he responds "It's complicated" but he smiles everytime my name is mentioned. I have been very open with him in the past about how i feel, and i just don't know what to do at this point. I guess i just need to know if i should continue persuing(sp?) it, or just let it go?

Well, I think that when he says "it's complicated," that probably translates as "I never go out with women I work with." Why don't you ask him out and see what he says? At least then you wouldn't be in the dark any more as to whether or not it is anything to do with you that is putting him off. I imagine that he probably would ask you out if you weren't both working together. Best of luck, and I hope you find the answer.

Take the plunge. Ask him out. If you don't like the water, then admire the view from afar.

I would look at it like this...don't you want a guy who knows 100% that he wants you, from the start without any "complicated" BS?....it seems as though he likes that he has you emotionally when it suits him, via the ultimate noncommittal form of communication - the text message.....

"It's complicated" is not an answer. I suggest having your friends work him over for a real explanation.

In persuing it you mean continue talking to him? or actually asking him out on a date and/or talk about having a relationship? That would be good to try and find out.....its worth it to know if there is hope and if not then yes, let it go.

If he wanted to hook up , he would by now. I think you should move on and he can REALLY think about what he needs to do. Make him jealous!

LOL..."It's complicated" is just a lame guy way of saying he's currently banging someone. Someone who he's probably too chicken to ditch.

Can I just say real quick that any guy who thinks he's so important as to consider himself "complicated" (e.g. "Too complicated for any of you lesser beings to understand") is just a complete tool and a b.s. artist out of the gate.

This person is lame. Bang 'im if you want, but I've no doubt that too will be lame.

Say, take me or leave me. And if he hesitates, grab a cute guy that's walking by and be like,

"See yah. You snooze, you lose."

In these days it is OK for a Lady to Pop a Leading question.

So I say to think & pray over it & that you write him.

Maybe it is just complicating for him. Maybe hes a rocky relationship past. Or maybe, like some others have said, hes married or in a relationship. Or maybe, hes just really commitment shy. At this point though, I would ask him straight out what he wants/expects from you.

it depends on how bad it bothers you.if its like a little flirting well maybe no. but if it disrupting everything you are trying to do thats a different story.

Is he married? Engaged? Betrothed? Gay? A secret agent? What else could be complicated?

Either pin him down and get some answers from him, or give him a one way ticket to Dumpsville.

I agree with CHAMBER005, he must have someone else. I think he is leading you on and keeping you around in case that relationship doesn't work out. Therefore, you are not his first choice. You will always be chasing him and he will allow you to do that, but keep in mind you will always be second best. Do yourself a favour and move on, it's not worth your sanity!!!
