So I need to talk about this guy I want to date..

We work at the same place. We work on opposite sides of the building so we only ever see each other like once or twice a week. I’ve been working there for 2.5years, he’s been there longer than me. This is going to sound cheesy but, every time he would walk by and look at me my heart would skip a beat. When he would walk past he started saying hi, then occasionally stopping to chat for a minute, then way later progressed to chatting for awhile every time. I started to really like him, but I never said anything.

I found out maybe a year in to working there that he was married. We never flirted or anything, but there was always major chemistry going on. I heard from other people that his marriage was rocky and that he kept trying but failing to leave. I still never did anything. I tried to forget about him and I dated someone else for ~6 months but I still kept thinking about him all the time, and I ended up ending the relationship.

Fast forward to now, this has been going on for over 2 years. He started texting me a couple weeks ago. We already had each others numbers for work. We were just chatting like normal, then started texting each other every day, all the time. Then we got into deeper conversations and he let me know he has feelings for me, and has (also) been interested in me the whole 2+ years. He was open about his marriage issues, that he is trying to leave but she won’t let him go. He was adamant that he doesn’t want to do anything with me until he is able to leave, which I agree with of course. We are both struggling with this but it is working. As far as physical touch all we’ve done is hug once.

So now I want to know what you think of this and if it’s a bad idea to wait for him. How much are you judging us right now?
