Hi ~ welcome Elle smile

I must admit, his response to you telling him you liked him seems a bit odd, if he is interested in you romantically:

'He said he was glad to hear from me and was flattered and that he respected our friendship. He didn't say anything else.'

You say that he is five years older than you ~ and you mention working there and being at school (I'm guessing that means college rather than an actual school). I wonder if it's something to do with your ages. Could he be worried about being seen as a 'cradle snatcher' perhaps?? smile
