Can We Just Be Friends??????????
I work with a woman who just underwent uterine cancer surgery. When she first started working at our place (car rental), I befriended and mentored her. When she started having woman problems, she shared her sufferings with me. I became very close friends with her and we always were paired together on work assignments. When she went in the hospital for her surgery, I visited her everyday. She has no family that cares what happens to her, so I was her sole source of companionship .
She is healing very slow and as such, she's up one day and down the next. Everybody at work asks "Bill, how's ANNA"? I guess I'm her spokesman and as such I am sworn to secrecy by her. I only say she sends her thanks for all the cards and flowers from them and is feeling better everyday. I am not to give out any particulars on her condition.
I don't know if I'm imagining this or not but, it's just possible she is looking at me as more than a good friend. She calls me 2 or 3 times a week and tells me things that maybe are not told to a man that is not her husband. I am sometimes made uncomfortable by her conversations with me.
Am I being a freakin' wimp or should I suck it in and accept her outreach to me and appreciate that she feels very comfortable with me?

Re: Can We Just Be Friends??????????
i would be true to yourself and ask you or let her know that you're curious why she is being so personal with you and if she wants or expects more of a relationship with you. i think the more dialog the better off you will be. no more guessing, ya know?
good luck and btw - you're pretty awesome for being there for her!

Re: Can We Just Be Friends??????????
Liz, you are the reason I'm glad I'm a man. You are smart and observant. Me, I'm just a not-very-bright humanoid with a big heart and not much else going for me.
I'll broach the subject with my friend about her true feelings for me and try and set her straight about my intentions. I want her to get better and not get too involved with me. It'll just get messy. I love the woman as a friend and want what's best for her. Our conversations are always fun and she always laughs when I visit her. Hell, she makes me feel good!! I don't know if I'm the one benefiting or her.
She has men calling her almost everyday and wishing her a speedy recovery. I only hope one of them makes a move to get her to stop focusing on me.
