"There's a guy I like at work, and I think he might like me, although he already has a girlfriend. We're friends, and I think we flirt a bit (I know I do), but I'm wondering how I might take it to the next level. Any suggestions??"

You said he has a girlfriend. You shouldn't come between them even if he does flirt back with you. You can probably picture the outcome of that situation, and I believe you don't want to go there. Harmless flirting is not too bad, but trying to go any farther is a bit extreme. Imagine how you would feel if someone else were trying to get with your boyfriend. That is not a feeling you want to experience. Let things go with the flow and back off a tad. If he likes you, he will dump his girlfriend.
Even if he does leave his girlfriend, however, you should wait a little bit before pursuing anything with him just in case he changes his mind. I don't know if you already know their history on if they are on and off or not; so if he does break it off, give it some time to see if they are really over and see if he makes the first move.

Wait until he no longer has a girlfriend.
You don't want a guy who would cheat,
if he cheats on her he could cheat on you.
So continue to flirt and if he seriously
likes you it will happen. Be aware that
some guys flirt with girls with no
intentions of taking it further. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
gogurl10 answered Thursday April 17 2008, 12:53 pm: you could ask other people at work if they have noticed anything between you to or if he has said anything about you to them. If they have noticed something, you could keep flirting with him and maybe he will ask you out. if they havn't noticed anything, then you should probably back off.
