LOL- I don't really know what I was asking either. I guess it reflects some internal confusion. I think CEO is flirting. He's not touchy-feely with the others (although since he hung around with me so much I didn't get very much chance to observe his behaviour with the other girls).
Ali- he/his behaviour IS having an effect on me and I feel awful about it. I actually started getting butterflies at one point yesterday while he was looking at me. Isn't that terrible? I feel horrible because he's not my H, and I really do love my H, except my H isn't here and he hasn't been for such a long time. Meanwhile CEO is all sideways glances and smiles, and comments about children and wanting to be at home with someone who's company he enjoys. *sigh* You're right- it's terribly awkward. He's my boss, I'm married to a 'non-H', he's got a reputation for being a player (which he perpetuates a little to me), our office is small. But maybe it's just a bit of fun for him. That's fine, but it's not exactly fun for me- I'm becoming susceptible to it. Ick. Pppppphhhhhhhh
ITH- I have to say that I don't know if I'm interested in him. He's nice and the flirting's nice, and yesterday I had a period of thinking I was interested. Today I just don't know. I'm not a really touchy-feely person, so leg/arm touching aren't normal for me. I don't think they are for him. Man, I'm going to have to sigh again. I just don't know! Thank you for your thoughts on the not-kissing and other women talk. Much appreciated. It'd be much easier if I knew whether he really was interested in me (LOL although I don't know why I think that- it no doubt wouldn't be!).
I agree, Al that H hasn't ever really felt the loss of me, but NC and being unavailable aren't so much of an option considering how he reacts to them. H is being immature though- I think we're all agreed on that, including Jody. She said he's behaving like a teenager (he's having a proper life crisis). It's wearing though- he was lucky I replied yesterday, and yes, it was a little colder than usual. We'll see what happens.
I'm baking brownies and cupcakes this afternoon- soothing balm for a confused heart! My apologies everyone for the somewhat confused posts. I can't believe I'm making observations about leg touching and not being kissed.
