A new guy started at my job in the summer and we immediately hit it off. He’s very sweet, kind and great fun to be around. We’re always joking around together and he always tries to make me laugh, especially when I’m feeling down. I like him a lot but I know he is currently talking online to a girl he met on a dating site. However, they have been talking for 6 months and haven’t met up yet. She doesn’t live far away and they both drive, so I don’t really know why they haven’t yet. Apparently they had planned to go on a date but it didn’t end up happening for some reason. When one of my other coworkers asked him, he said they were just taking things slowly but she seems to think that he is being catfished. I don’t really know what to make of the whole situation but I just want to know where I stand with him and whether it is worth waiting to see what happens. We went out together yesterday after our morning shift, not necessarily on a date, but we had breakfast together and talked for ages, getting to know each other more. I often wonder if he feels the same way about me but I don’t feel ready to ask him.

By the way, I’m aware relationships in the work place are not always a good idea (wouldn’t be the first time!) but there’s a possibility I might be leaving in the new year and I wouldn’t want to go without telling him how I feel.
