This is tough because how sincere could he be when all these chicks are hitting on him. Do you know anything about him outside of work. Does he date the chicks that hit on him for one night stands, does he have any other interests that would attract you to him. Maybe because so many chicks are hitting on him is the attraction for you, to conquer the wanted. I would seriously get to know more about him and verify it before getting involved, you may get more then you bargained for, including a disease......
