I work as caregivet in LTC while pre-nursing. I am very friendly and have exchanged phone numbers and facebook contact with a few co-workers and we have become friends. There is a worker in the kitchen, male, that I also exchanged numbers with. He acted a bit disappointed when he found out Im married w/ a daughter (I dont hide it) We text a few times, mostly about caregiver vs kitchen duties. I invited him bowling with a group, explained my husband would come too, etc. Yesterday he text me out of the blue "People are making assumptions about me Im not sure why because I dont see you very much but I dont think we should talk or text anymore" I explained I am sorry if I did something, I am not sure about any "assumptions" but we can remain professional. This via text, then I deleted his number. At the end of my shift he aproaches me asking "are we cool? We can be friends @ work but Im uncomfortable talking to you because I dont want to step on your husbands toes" I said I am "cool" with everything, tol a him I only meant friendship and my husband is fine with me having male friends, but we can just move on as friendly professionals. WELL, today he avoids me and acts kind of, weird, and soI just act normal. I talk to everyone, go about my day, etc. A female co-worker/friend approached me that this guy appears to have feelings for me, she teased him about having a crush on someone (didnt mention names) and this was before the text. She apologized repeatedly, afraid :jester:she ruined our friendship. Ugh. I said its fine, if someone jas feelings I dont want to lead them on. I just feel like high school all over again! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! I plan to ignore and act normally. Just venting I guess.
