27/f and 45/m - Is this the start of a controlling relationship?
I 27f and my coworker 45m have worked together closely for the past 2 months, before that we worked in separate areas. So after getting to know each other and found there was mutual attraction he came over to my place and hung out for a couple hours. Since then heās been very persistent on coming over to hang out, he does have 2 kids so I understand that itās not easy for him to always get away. Itās happened twice now where we make plans to hang out and he ends up āfalling asleepā or it just gets too late for him. Through text messages heās been telling me he canāt stop thinking about me and that he canāt wait to figure out each others likes and dislikes. Now, in a separate conversation we had prior to him coming over to my place we both had stated that we liked being single and we both are not looking for a relationship, just fun. Now he is being completely different and using phrases like āyour other houseā āour bedā āWhen you want, my world can become your worldā Also mentioned about me meeting his ex wife, mind you he came over on Monday so weāve only been talking for about a week. Iām not sure if this is what the term love bombing is, as iāve only been in one relationship and that lasted 7 years. So the way he is talking is completely new to me and iām not familiar with it . I also donāt know if maybe thatās just how an older guy is? He tells me he canāt stop thinking about me since seeing each other last Monday. He canāt get me out of his mind. Itās hard to tell if he is being genuine with me or not since on two occasions now heās flaked on plans. Iām actually confused and iām not sure what he wants from me? He makes it clear what he wants, but itās the way he says things that makes me feel like itās just moving way too fast since weāve only had one on one time outside of work for MAYBE 5 hours. Iām just wanting to see what other people think of the situation and if this is the start of a controlling type of relationship? Heās told me that heās a super jealous person and that he walks by my machine to let me know heās thinking about me or just to make eye contact, since weāre keeping things private about our situation. So I canāt really talk to anyone that knows him at work since it would break trust between us. Please give me advice or if youāve been through anything similar? TIA
