worried young boy at work is falling for me


Question Posted Tuesday January 3 2006, 9:11 pm

There's this guy that works with me at the store and I'm worried that he has a crush on me. I'm flattered but I'm worried because he is only 17 and I'm 28.

I don't think he knows I'm that old, everyone at the store thinks I'm still a student, or under 20. I have a very young looking face.

He's a nice boy and I like talking with him but I'm worried it may cause a problem, like what if he really falls for me? The other thing is I don't flirt with him like some of the girls, I'm just friendly and helpful, which is maybe why he likes me because I'm different from the other younger girls. Today there was a problem with an item not scanning and he came up to me. he's a price checker and I work in the clothing. I fixed the problem and after he said to me "oh you REALLY helped us out", with a shy smile on his face. I've also noticed other times he's looked at me or was extra nice to me.

What should I do? I want him to like me but not THAT much.

Unfortunately, you can't help how this boy feels. If you start to ignore him, he may actually fall for you harder -- some guys only ever yearn for what they can't have. I think somehow letting him know your age would be a help, though. Maybe not directly, but indirectly. If you want to you could even invent a birthday -- even if it's not really your birthday -- and tell everyone you just turned 28. He's got to know sometime, and it might be enough to cool his passion.

I actually don't think it's a big deal. There's exactly the same difference in age between myself and my boyfriend as there is between you and this guy. But I can see why you wouldn't want to encourage him.

You need to tell him how old you are and tell him you dont like younger guys.And you need to stop being so nice and friendly to him(but dont be mean).And tell him you only like him as a friend.Hopefully everything works out!!!!!

*Good luck*

You are being too nice and if you talk to him too much he will think that you have feeling for him too. Get into the conversation of age and tell him how old you are. Ask him if he could see any of the ladies at the store as girlfriends.

<3 Hope I helped.
