    Of course I will be doing when we have known each other longer. Nothing wrong with it at all. I could call you stalkish coming on and insulting strangers!

    You come here to ask a question, the answers did not go your way. Your mind was made up long before you asked the question. So just get on with it now, go to the cinema, take him back to your place for DVD night... As long as your husband is away out of the road of course,

    Not sure it's a wind up, the OP has a lot of posts.

    But it has been a waste of time as the OP had no intention of taking any advice that didn't agree with her 'I'm attracted to this work colleague, I want to be his friend, I want to invite him to my house but only when my husband has had the 'decency' to !!!!!! off out of the way' attitude.

    I feel sorry for the husband.

    Men and women cannot be just friends as one of them will want to sleep with the other. They may never actually do the deed, but one of both of them will always be thinking about it
    This is absolutely not true. At work I am the only woman in a team of 6, and in the wider team of 30 or so there are only 3 women. A number of my male colleagues are good friends, and there is absolutely no physical attraction on either side.

    You'd be surprised, even I was shocked at my last Xmas party by 1 or 2.
