This guy knows something about tricking people into doing things they wouldn't normally do. He only asked you how you were doing so you would ask him so he could unload himself, which is selfish, and the tricking people part makes it hypocritical too. Alternately, he was hitting on you by hinting that he's virile (can sleep with 2 women in somewhat close proximity), and soon to be available (will tell his current gf about the cheating). Either way, it seems like you lose. Muscles says:

Evidently I give off some kind of vibe that I care (which I kinda DO NOT!) I have heard some very embarassing and awkward stories and it gives me the heebie jeebies. I, on the other hand am a very private person (despite my oversharing on the internet) and would no more tell people about my love life that I would shoot myself in the foot. I feel your pain.

It's tough putting on a face at work and having to appear cheerful when crap is happening behind the scenes. But I'm totally with you in finding it hard to console people face to face. I'll read an email or a blog ten times over and email back words of comfort and understanding that come from the heart - but put on the spot, I've always been a bit rubbish.

You’re usually so good at picking up warning signs.

file— “No, I should keep it professional…”

right after

“He took a call from his Mom….”

I don't think I could. I'm kind of hands off as a person, sometimes I wish I could be more open and all that. I like that you do talk to strangers--sometimes I feel like we're all so closed off. I often wish I could just walk up to someone and...be open. You know what? you've inspired me! I'm going to make the effort. Once a week or whenever, I'm going to approach someone I ordinarily wouldn't, and try to see if it changes how I feel about people or life. It’s sweet that you actually went there.
