I like a guy(GUY 1), I don't know if he likes me. I think he does but I'm not sure. I'm 16 he's 18. We work together. We're friends.
So far it's relatively bog standard dilemma.
However...
I just had a mess up with one of the other guys(GUY 2) at work (he liked me, I don't like him but he thought I did). Guy 1 suggested that we pretend to be dating to basically piss of GUY 2( what the hell is that suggesting). Without thinking, I agreed.
Additional info, added Tuesday January 6 2004, 4:41 am: Ok so nothing has actually come about as a result of Guy 2's plans because the Xmas holidays got in the way and we hardly saw each other.
Guy 1 knows I don't like him and has pretty much given up and Guy 2 knew this when he suggested that we 'date'.
I know that getting involved with guys at work is a really bad idea but it isn't actually forbidden by the manager (he knows what guy1 did and thinks it is funny) and unfortunately for me the guy i like happens to waork with me and there is very little I can do about it. It is only a part time job, after school so it probably won't be too long lasting.

Just tell Guy2 that you judt want to be friends or something and that you don't like him at all, that way things are cleared up. [ MichiruKaiou's advice column | Ask MichiruKaiou A Question ]

OneMan answered Friday January 2 2004, 1:02 pm: Well, maybe number one REALLY does like you, and "pretending" to be dating was his way of bringing the whole idea out in the open. Then again, he could have thought that it would truly stop your problem and may havbe just offered to be of what help he could. Have you ever asked number one what he really feels? Why don;t you try and bring it up in joke form and see how he runs with it. Say something like, " We "pretend" pretty good, don't we? You might almsot think you like me for real " or something like that. That should give him the opportunity to tell yu what's really on his mind at that point.

From what you are explaining it seems as though Guy 1 does like you and wanted an excuse to maybe kiss you. Tell him that you arent up for fake relationships but you're all for real ones.
When you say this to him, check his reaction. If he looks horrified then laugh and make it seem like maybe you were just joking, because you're both friends. But if he smiles then you will know that he was hoping for the same thing. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
