I don't know what to do...

okay..i'm going to try to give you the abridged version of this story. i recently started a new job. i work very closely with a man named daniel. daniel is 20 years older than me and is married with two children. he is also very religious. lately, he has often been telling me how pretty i am and how lots of men would love to have me. and yesterday at work, he said, and i quote... "if i were younger i'd like you. but i'm an old man. and i'm too married". what do you think this all means? do you think he's just trying to be nice? or do you think there could be something deeper going on here? i'm so confused. i'm not interested in him but i want a bottom line now rather than further down the road. could he just be trying to be nice? is this all work-appropriate talk? please help!

I have heard this myself from men who were my age and M. I have also said it to others... Most of the time it is joking on both sides. Lite humour and fun. However, I would NEVER say it to someone that deep down inside I felt unattracted to.
Too early to tell what he means... see if his flirting develops. And for pete's sake, if you do not want this to go anywhere (on the outside chance you think he really does mean what he says in a serious sense) then in a friendly manner- tell him that you're not interested.
