In love with a married co worker

Emily.
You have your answer. He’s just playing.

MM flirt because they love the attention and the feeling of being wanted by other women. They feel guilty over it so they back away. Hot, cold, repeat and rinse.

You are not in love if all you do is flirt. You hardly know this person. It’s infatuation.

Forget about this dude. All he will give you is breadcrumbs. Hot, cold, hot cold ad nauseam.

I’m sorry but women need to take back their power and love themselves better. The moment a married man hits on you OR you find out the man hitting on you is a married man – how could he continue to hurt you or play you? It should be over. Full stop. No engagement except work and if he doesn’t quit go to HR. Sure you will have to deal with the disappointment or betrayal if a man lied to you. But that should be short lived when you fully are looking out for you on a regular basis.

I’m just trying to bring awareness that women get “played” a lot less than the word is actually used. Most men show you who they are, what they want, and what priority you are pretty frickin quick. It’s women who drag out the process of letting go or torturing themselves over an unavailable man that brings the longest heartache.
