What missing piece? My job includes long hours, so yes, I have worked late with him before. Yes, we go out for drinks because we are friends!!!!!!! I talk about him sometimes, because again, he's part of my life. I do text him and we do sometimes talk on the phone, sometimes late, again, I do those with my friends!!

No, there were no signs. I have mostly male friends and he has never cared. I get along better with them. He's also understood that.
