Well, he was flirting. But as I told a friend privately, if it was someone else I wouldnt consider it an issue. For HIM it sounds as flirting. BUT, he has shown me a part of his character lately I never knew existed, he is more confident at work, takes care of himself better, like if he has grown the last couple of years. So, this could be a side of his I am not aware of since I was always "away" from his work environment.
He commented I sounded in a good mood yesterday and I said I decided I can only control myself and that's what I am doing. He replied I control him as well and make him happy when I sound good. At some point I said I know what I want and I am not looking for boosts from "elsewhere". He said he knows what he wants too and feels the same way.
So, I am not telling him about the emails right now. And taking care of myself. And working on my confidence because I cant be feeling the sceond choice all the time. K
