[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need more details, OP. Is there an age gap? Are either of you married? Is it just office chit chat or is there texting, SM interaction?[/quote]

OP - He is a C-level, 10 years older, he is married and he knows I’m in a serious relationship. Chit chat is fine, we both have kids that are similar ages and can talk about things like kids, sports, hobbies.

I’ve just observed he takes what I mention in regards to these light topics and starts projecting other traits on me - I must believe xyz if I do xyz. He doesn’t do this to my other coworker, and he teases me more, which makes me feel like there is an attraction. As C-level and pretty straitlaced he is a rule follower so I don’t feel unsafe. But I want to avoid saying something that could end up hurting our work relationship. As an attractive younger woman I feel like I need to be more careful than men would need to. My office does socialize outside of work, he and I have only ever socialized in large groups, I’ve met and like his wife. [/quote]

Oh. Eww this is tougher than I’d thought. I’d ask about his wife and kids more in the conversations and always tell him that they sound wonderful and he’s so blessed to have them. 😁[/quote]
