I am in love with my coworker. It’s pretty simple. The caveat is that I suck at flirting. My friends point to several examples

Of times I just didn’t get it but he was 100% tryna fuck. I won’t get into it now but my question is this:

We are organizers in Iowa for politicians. We work long hours and our jobs are very much not your typical 9-5 boundaries. Like we have stayed in the office doing work until 4 am.

After one of the first times I spent a few hours with him, he confided in me that his aunt passed recently. I’ve been out of the office bc of bullshit politics and he recently texted me asking essentially how I was. I was simply in response but I want to make up

For it.

If I text him « hey hope you have a nice thanksgiving, do I include the emotionally vulnerable element of « thinking of you and your family I know how hard it can be after losing someone » ??

Im thinking along the lines of emotional vulnerability. He’s an ex athlete macho type. Is this something that would be a way of saying "hey sorry I was rude, I am including this emotionally vulnerable point to show you I remember things you tell me bc I’m kinda in love with you??
