This answer is given after oNLY reading the question title:

Yes.

That's always the answer. What you need to figure out is how long you let it develop until you give in. And if it doesn't develop into anything, i.e. if he's outta there when he realizes he's not getting any right away, then you've lost nothing.

He insists that he respects me and doesn't just want sex, but I am pretty much thinking that he's a player and I'm trying to not get involved with him. We have not gone out at all yet. I told him that I really wanted him, but I'm not the type that hooks up w/ people random. He says he's only talking about sex with me because we have known each other a few years, but I don't really know him outside of work. And I'm starting to suspect he may be married also. In the years I've known him, he hasn't mentioned a wife and neither have the people that work w/ him that have seen us talking.
I think you should relax. It does sound like he wants SEX but that doesn't mean you could not go out with him. Just don't have sex. If he drops you, well, then you know he was never sincere but it's no loss on your part. A friendly night out on the town couldn't hurt.

You must be extremely naive or plain ole nuts to dare venture an affair with. . .A FREEKIN' CO-WORKER! Ever thought about what your life will be like when the "affair" comes to an end? Can you imagine what it will be like to bump into this person often, making eye-contact, or worse, hearing about your "affair" from the mouths of other co-workers? Come on girl, get a grip! Slap yourself around a bit and come to your senses!

Now, this is the part where other posters will hurl their shoes at me: if you want to have a fling or an affair, do so with someone whom you will not have to interact or cross paths with regularly.

OK. . .you can all now hurl your shoes!

yes, he just wants to sleep with you. That's really what most guys have in mind when they are with a woman or girl - sleep/snoring.

Yes.

Absolutely.

Men do not want female "friends".

Well I didn't call him for 2 weeks just to see what would happen, but I passed him the other day at work and we both said hi. Anyway, he called me later but I was working and couldn't answer the phone. What did I do? I tried to call him, but I didn't want my boss to see that I was on the phone so I hung up. Later after work tried to call him again and left a message. This was a few days ago. He didn't call back, so last night I left him a friendly message on his voice mail to call me back and he hasn't yet. I'm starting to feel so stupid and wondering why I would want this guy when all he wants is one thing. Maybe I have forbidden lust syndrome? Or perhaps he realized that one thing he wants is not what I'm going to give him?

Default What A Man Wants...

Sorry I haven't read every post...just the OP's originating one and a few in between but has anyone mentioned a man's "two S's?"

Sex and a sandwich. So sex is likely on any man's list so-to-speak...
