Hi girls,

Well, I think I'm over it. Currently focusing on someone who lives a lot, lot closer. Down my street in fact.

He's liked me for a while I think or at least he did do as everytime he saw me he made conversation and you could just so tell. He wears his heart on his sleeve. But over the past year I think he's given up or he might have found someone else, who knows? But I am determined to give him a chance if he still wants to.

Argh! Honestly. I'm impossible sometimes. When it was blindingly obvious he liked me I shunned him. Now he's backed off I want to get to know him. And that's the point. When I don't know someone I back off if he acts over the top for several reasons and it's not my job that comes top of the list. I've had some horrendous 'relationships' so that puts me off. I want to take things slow.

I hardly know anything about this man other than his job, his cat's name and where he lives and what car he drives. So I'm keen to get to know him a bit better before I make my mind up. I don't even know his name, ha ha!

But as he practically lives on my doorstep my job could be an issue and the whole neighbourhood finding out!

I'll just have to wait until I next see him whenever that may be. Now I want to see him it's nearly been a week since I have done 

It's the universe up to her old tricks again keeping me out of trouble 

You do your job. Gotta stop leading with your emotions as 99.9% of this job is NSA fun. He hired you for a service, you completed that service. Allow yourself to enjoy the memory of knowing you connected with someone you deemed special and move on, girlie.

Yes, I realise this. I want a connection with the man I last mentioned - the guy who lives down the street. Since my previous post I've got to know him a lot more but he's married to his job as am I, so I doubt anything will happen between us 

My weird rules from trial and error-I won't screw anyone I work with, who employs me, who I employ or anyone local.
Your situation's blurred some of those lines as he's a client who lives close by. Complex!

He doesn't know what I do. This man who lives down my street is not a client.

I thought he was a client, if not then feel free to jump on his bones, the worse that can happen is that it may not work out or that he converts you 

Op, you seem very needy in regards to a relationship. I was once there and now I don't give a f**k
Take a step back and think long and hard. Maybe enjoy being single and work hard.
One day you will meet someone nice, but stop worrying about it and take each day as it comes.

As I'm totally independent in my life it would just be nice to have someone there in the background that's all. I've got my own house and I value that ... I certainly don't want to get married or live with anyone! Been there, done that and never again!!!

And if that's what you want, you deserve that. However, like your original post mentioned, I'd just steer clear of clients. But you moved on, as did he and it was just a little crush

I have learned the hard way to avoid any non biz relaxations with clients. Unfortunately, (shock, horror) I haven’t found them too trustworthy!
