Dear Abby: I love my doorman. I am married and he is, too. I flirt with him ... and he flirts back.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: I love my doorman. I am married and older than he is. He is married, too. I’ve known him for years, and I flirt with him all the time. He flirts back and gets really red in the face.

One day, he came up to my apartment to help me with something. I purposely had on a see-through slip. I wanted to kiss him. I did catch him staring at me, but he was very polite and didn’t try anything. I’m just wondering whether I should try to kiss him next time or try to stay away from him. He really makes me crazy. -- BIG CRUSH IN NEW YORK

DEAR CRUSH: You owe your doorman an apology for what you have been doing. If you care at all for this person, do not jeopardize his job by taking this further. If you do, this adventure will not have a happy ending.
