Can I get him to want a relationship?
There is a guy at work that I get on really well with, there is a great spark no sex as we are not in a relationship but have kissed a few times nd when we spend night together we cuddle etc just like a couple with. He has said many times that if he wanted a go I have many if the qualities he'd look for and how much he likes me etc so frustrating in would love to be in a relationship with him haven't felt a connection like this in a long time . It's hard to understand why he wouldn't want a relationship as he hasn't been in one for a very very long time! do you think thus is a case of he's that not that into me or over time do you think I could win him over any tiPs on how to do this?! Seems crazy we are not together -people at work notice there is chemistry between us and its not just in a sexual level as we haven't even had sex we talk about serious things -he claims that he tells me things he hasn't told others. Arghh-advice?

I'm sorry you're feeling like this, but I am going to be blunt with you - he sounds like a bit of an @rse.
I'm really not saying this to try and hurt you, but it seems to be a typical guy trait to only want the girls they have to try really hard to get. Therefore, the keener you seem, the less interest he'll show (in a relationship, I mean) because for him, it's just too easy.
I'm sure you've heard a million times how men like the chase, well, I have to agree. As pathetic as it sounds, sometimes you have to play them at their own game. My advice to you is to play it cool, act a little more nonchalant and try and relax a little. After all, you can't make someone want the same thing as you, and by appearing overly keen, it often has the adverse effect and pushes people away.
The last thing in the world that you'd want is to look back on the whole experience and feel used, so just enjoy his company on an easy level, demonstrate to him what a great person you are and how much fun you are to be around, but also make sure you're not always available when he wants to see you.
I realise that's really difficult in reality, but as soon as he has a chance to miss you, or think about you when you're not being quite so attentive, then he will, and it may give him a kick up the butt.
If not, then don't let him use you (emotionally - I realise you're not intimately involved) and find someone who makes you feel loved and makes you feel secure that your feelings are reciprocated.
Hope it goes well x
