On Valentine’s Day, I decided to get a card for the guy who I mentioned in my last post. When I gave it to him, he smiled and said thank you but I didn’t see him open it. The next day, he was friendly and chatting with me as normal but never once mentioned the card. While I was relieved that he was still talking to me, I was pretty disappointed that he didn’t even acknowledge the fact that I like him. Now I don’t really know whether he feels the same way or not. I feel a bit awkward asking but I might not know otherwise.

For those who didn’t see my previous post, here is some background - I met this person at work 6 months ago. He is currently talking to a girl on a dating app. Despite never actually meeting her in person, he talks about her as if they have been dating for a while and seems to really like her. However, the relationship doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. He said that they are “taking things slow”, but whenever he says they’re going to meet up, it never ends up happening. He doesn’t even have her number or on any social media outside the dating app.
He was already talking to her when we met, but we seemed to hit it off pretty quickly. He is very sweet to me and always tries to cheer me up if I’m having a bad day. We’re quite physical with each other and often end up play fighting. People think we are flirting and make jokes about us being together. Sometimes I think he does like me, but then he starts talking about this girl, and I’m not so sure. Should I just straight up ask him? I thought the Valentines card would be a giveaway but it clearly hasn’t changed anything.
