younger man....with girlfriend

I work with a guy who continually flirts with me(I think he's about 22, I'm 29). He's always going on about how "hot" I am, and would get or do anything for me at work. Yesterday, with a couple other co-workers around, he said kind of under his breath and not directly to me that he was going to marry me one day. Strange thing is, before he ever said that, I was thinking to myself if it was another place or time(he being a little older, or me being a little younger), that we would be together. He mentioned the first time he came in and saw me(and he remembers the exact details of the day etc)and when I first met him, I thought that there was something about this guy that I liked but couldn't pinpoint. We are very attracted to each other, but it seems like there is something much more there. Thing is he has a girlfriend; one he is moving away to be with very soon. I am not messing with that at all, but I don't know what to do! I suppose there is not much I can do....

your co workers should tell him that if he wants to marry you someday then he better clean up his act.

He has a girlfriend and is flirting with you.

The right thing to do is either not flirt with you or break up with his girlfriend before he flirts with you.

This guy is selfish not confused .

Tell him to get his act together or get lost and leave you alone.

There is something you CAN do: leave it alone and don't mess with co-workers who have GFs. This young guy might be just flirting and being silly, after all, he's only 22 and you are 29, an older woman to his eyes.
