ok so i got a seasonal job at a local record store, and i have totally fallen for one of the permanent employees. today was my last shift...so its all over. BUT...one guy we totally hit it off. every time we see eachother, we just look and smile, and we always play fight and have an awesome time, its so much fun. i would most definately say there is chemistry. we talk all the time - at work and on instant messaging - and we have a lot in common. but the problem is... he has a girlfriend. they almost broke up over new years eve, but he told me today that they are back together. i think its obvious by how i act (i wear my heart on my sleeve) that i like him, so is he just playing into it because he knows i do?

Keyword... "HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND" Step away... Who would want a guy who flirts while he has someone or would almost cheat. Take it as a great friendship and go with that but other then that he is off limits. How would you feel if you were the girlfriend?

Sounds like standard office flirting to me. Just a bit of fun. Don't take it too seriously - it happens very regularly in different work places.

heyy thanks for your input. but theres more to it that i should have mentioned...we are both first-year univeristy students, and he plays on my good friends hockey team and i've been informed (by my good friend) that i am locker room talk! and i know that he would never cheat because once i accused him of it (a little dating dilemma he was telling me about) and he got mad and insisted that he would never cheat. does this information change your opinion at all?
-thanks, in advance!

No... He still has a girlfriend. And he lied if he is flirting with you and has a girlfriend then he is cheating because he is doing this behind her back instead of letting her go then pursuing you instead it seems you take it he is pursuing you and if he gets you then he will dump her. Hence a cheat to me and not a worthy guy because if he does it to her for sure it will happen to you. At least from my POV.

I doesn't change my opinion either. It sounds like you've become locker room gossip because there is no discretion being used with your joint flirting and chemistry.

I still believe that it's just a case of office flirting. Remembering back to working in an office, there was always sexual tension between co-workers. Many flirted openly. However, almost all people flirting were in a relationship. The whole office would know about who was flirting with whom, but we also knew that it would go no further due to relationship commitments.
