YOur collegue probably has children. Hands off, go find yourself a single man. In all probability if he knew how you felt you probably wouldn't be phone pals much longer!!! Find yourself a hobby to draw your attraction away from him. Good Luck!!!!!

Um....you stop being his phone and text buddy becos soon that will lead to sex buddy!!!! you know better than to mess with someone who is taken, think if you were married or had a bf how you would feel if you found out he was calleing and texting another women regularly, you wouldnt like it so think how his poor wife must feel being kept in the dark about her flirting husband. You wouldnt like looking like a fool so dont make her feel that way, keep away from him.

Don't things seem more interesting if you want something that you can't have?

If he's married he has probably told you about problems here and there with his wife. And you think, how you would treat him better.
-Its something all couples go through.

Maybe he even prefers to talk to you over his wife?
-Men look for female friends so someone can sympathize their issues with. Other male friends don't.

Would he leave her for you?

Another question for you... Put yourself in his wifes shoes. You have a husband you love. You get into arguments sometimes. But you love him anyway. Wouldn't it break your heart if you found out that he was talking to another female about your problems? Trust me its ok to have friends of the opposite sex. But its one thing with a married man. If he says he would leave her for you then good for you guys. But be a true friend and lead him to do right, not wrong. Hope this helps! happy

I think you should look for someone who respects you more.

I do not want sound judgmental, as anyone can get a bit carried away emotionally with somebody they find attractive (and work can be a catalyst for this), but my advice is to simply back off immediately - no texting, no phoning and no meeting up except in the most formal of office settings where you must. He will get the message and, if he is any sort of gentleman, will stand back as well because he will know things cannot go further because he is already taken. You are asking this question but in your heart you undoubtedly know the answer - he is not free to reciprocate and too much heartbreak and misery can only be the outcome. Although it is hard to do - think of his wife (and kids if he has any) who have done nothing to deserve treachery, and don't allow your desire to override common sense and self-respect. It will be difficult but go find yourself a single, emotionally available man. If you go any further with a cheater then he may do the same to you eventually.
