It finally happened. Something that I had been working on for months happened two weeks ago. I posted months back about sexual tension. It calmed down a bit after it but we spoke more outside of the workplace, so I didn’t have to speak to him around his mother / my colleague.
The three of us went to a shopping centre. I got to hang out with just him on his own whilst his mother went to do some private shopping (Xmas gifts for him). I made a couple of VERY subtle moves and he knew fine well what I was doing, and he didn’t give any indication that he was uncomfortable wasn’t okay, rather the opposite.
I invited him over for the day as my parents were out at the local Christmas markets. I picked him up and dropped him off. My colleague knows we’re hanging out but as far as she knows, it’s all just civil and friendly.
