Dear Prudence,
I have a great connection with a colleague; we’re both single, and we’ve fooled around a little too. I feel like it could lead to something as we’ve both agreed to go on a date, although we can never seem to find a time that suits us both.
Recently, a rumor went around about us. My colleague made me aware of the rumor, and she said “it’s not the rumor that bothers me but who started it.” I’m really confused as to whether or not I actually have a shot with her. We’ve also been extremely close, telling each other everything for nearly three years. Please help.
