I Love You

I don't have a blog but I just wanted to write something down.
I like someone at work, but I will never get to tell him how much I like him. Our training period will soon end in a weeks' time and by then we will be on different teams, different schedules. I choose not to tell him that I like him. It's better this way so that we can still be friends without everybody teasing us and become the target of office intrigue.
I have enjoyed my time being with him. We ride the same train going to and from work. We were seated next to each other at the start of our training but in the middle of our training our instructor had him transfer to another seat (I don't know why). But this has not stopped us from communicating because we still had this chat software that we could use at work and it was kind of sweet that he would send messages not related to our topics. When I go online and he is also online, he never fails to say hi.
He has never asked me out, but has given me a long list of places where I could try out. He was the only person who gave me a gift on my birthday. His smile never fails to cheer me up. But we can never be together. But I am not sad.
I cannot tell him up front that I like him, so I am just writing all my feelings here. I know he will never read what I wrote here, so all my feelings for him will remain a secret. I love him, I am happy to have met him. And I am also happy to let him go.

You choose what ever makes you happy. If letting him go will and just love him secretly will make you happy will satisfy you then do it. But I think you still had an option you can say it and love him knowing that he knows your feeling.

Well sometimes loving requires sacrifice. And friendship is better than than a relationship because friendship would last forever and permanent, while a relationship requires an effort to last

hai anne...it`s weird if you love him but you are happy to let him go...sometimes love make someone is crazy.. LOL...i dont know exactly whats happen with you...but i can suggest for you, why you didnt try once again to express your feelings to him? sometimes a man is shy man and their is shame to express that they love you too

I am happy to let him go because I know that he is happy to be my friend and I share that same feeling. I don't want to make the first move, believe me I am happy with our friendship. Thank you for your response!

My career is going very well, thank you. I know we can still chat, and I am enjoying our last week being together at training. I also know that there will always be that chance of bumping into each other at work too. That's why I'd rather keep my feelings to myself. Thank you for your response!

i think you have a mutual feelings for each other, if he wont make some moves how bout you make the first move, because who knows what if you are for him, and he's for you we dont know, right now just grab the opportunity of telling him how you feel..hope that he feels the same way too, but bi think he really does!..if something happens do tell us..ok!

He shows that he cares too and there are too many incidents where I just simply laugh it off because he is too cute. Like the time he called me up to ask about our locker assignments (we have lockers at work so that we don't bring our cellphones or bags in the production floor, less chances of these getting lost or stolen). He said that he forgot his locker assignment and so I told him my locker number. I assumed he was at work already and I was surprised to find him at the train (LRT) station as if he was waiting for me. And it turns out he knows his locker number because he was the one who pointed out where our lockers were located
. Anyway, I just wanted to share this, thank you for your response!

Hi,anne25penn,I know you love the boy very much from what you said.But why you said that you couldn't to be together?If he also a single,I think you need have a try.Maybe he has the same felt as you but difficult to talk.I know you are good friends now,and I'm sure you are understand each other very much.If no other aspects to puzzle you,I think such a chance must not be missed.
Good luck!

hi anne25penn but deep down in your heart do not you hope he might'see
this. I know I fell in love with my coworker and I stood by his bed, and held his hand to say goodbye 33 years later. our marriage was a good one, we loved each other so much. I could never have let him go although my dad tried to stop it. funny as I was 31 and he was 37 so my dad was out of luck.I am just saying maybe he is the one,how do you know he is not?
I am of course a hopeless romantic.

I love your love story, but ours will definitely be different because I am the older one. I know age doesn't really matter, but if being friends will make us both happy, so be it. Thank you for your response.

Don't you have a meeting to go to with no one to go with?? If you tell your friend you have this big dinner meeting but have no one to take you, I bet he voluteers. Get some friends to set up a potential business meeting. Communication is key in all relationships. I bet he likes you as much as you like him. Stop the excuses and get to work. Who knows. The two of you might come up with your own new business as well.

Its funny, but when we still didn't know which teams we would be assigned to, he kept saying that we would be in the same team. Unfortunately we did not end up in the same team and business meetings are confined to teams so there is no chance at that. Thank you for your response!

That is so sad. He sounds like he is a nice guy. If I were you, I would bite the bullet and tell it to him. Just brace yourself for the reaction because it may be good or not so good. If it turns out well then good for you. If not, then it is ok.
If you fear that people will tease you, then you have nothing to fear at all. They are entitled to their own opinion. Let us just respect them for that.
It has been said that good things come to those who wait but better things come to those who try.
Good luck and cheer up!

I'd rather that we both just stay as friends. Less complications and heartaches and disappointments. Thank you for your response!

What if letting go would not make both of you happy? What if there was a chance but you just let it slip away because of your fears and doubts? Well I believe you just somehow need to do something about it to stop all the what if's that has been going on inside your mind. It's never too late to find out if he also have the same feelings for you. You said you're happy to let him go, but why not try to be true to him and to yourself first before giving up? Anyway, it's worth a try, right?

I know he also feels the same way and like me, a lot of people at work notice our closeness they just don't say anything about it. It seems he is happier that we stay as friends. I don't want to destroy our happiness by pushing something that cannot be between us. It is worth a try, but I'd rather leave it be. Thank you for your response!
