Today, the cute coworker who's been flirting with me drove me home. While I was contemplating asking him to kiss me, he politely told me to, "Please get out, I promised my girlfriend I'd pick her up." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my cute coworker begged me to cover his shift tomorrow, and told me that he wanted to take me to dinner to make up for it. I was very excited because I've been crushing on him for a long time. I later overheard him tell his friend that he didn't plan on showing up for our dinner. FML
Today, after countless nights spent together and flirty texts, I decided ask my crush on a date while at a party. We went on a walk and held hands. Just as I asked him, he said no, let go of my hand and briskly walked away. He was my ride home. FML
Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML
Today, I went to a social event with a very attractive male co-worker. Things were going awesome, we were flirting and really hitting it off. Then his 'wife' called. FML
Today, my coworker began flirting with the new guy at work and accepted a date with him. I’ve been trying to get with her for months and she'd told me, “Sorry, I don’t fraternize with colleagues.” I called her out on it and she told me, “OK, I’ll spell it out for you: I do fraternize with attractive colleagues.” FML
Today, my crush took me out to lunch. When the waiter came for our orders he ordered onoin rings and looks at me and says, "I won't be kissing anyone tonight anyways." FML
Today, I went on a date to the movies with this guy I kinda like. When he was driving me home, he asked me to be his girlfriend; I said I couldn’t because it was really bad timing. He kicked me out of the car, called me an asshole, and made me walk home. FML
Today, I found out that the coworker I’d been crushing on told me he was gay so I wouldn’t hit on him anymore. Turns out he did that so he could focus on wooing a female coworker of mine. They’re now dating. FML
Today, I helped an old man with his groceries, because he was struggling and he had a cane. After, I was nice enough to drive him home. He went to thank me by giving me a kiss on the cheek. Then he stuck his tongue out, and tried to French kiss me. FML
Today, I wanted to ask out this cute girl I used to work with. Before I could, she said she likes my only friend there, and asked if could I set them up. Trying to be nice guy and good friend, I did. Then she made her complete lack of interest in me obvious. But hey, at least the gay guy she hung out with thought I was cute. FML

Perhaps he was just being friendly and not flirting with you? There are several times when friendliness can be mistaken for flirting.

I'd like to hear more about his flirting... if you seriously misinterpreted it, or if there was real reason to believe he was interested. Also, did he suggest he drive you home, or did you ask for a ride? Either way, as long as he has a girlfriend, don't try to interfere with their relationship.

Did you not bother to find out ahead of time if he had one or not?

Time to propose the ménage a trois?

Since he was flirting with you, you weren't wrong to assume he as available. It's either because he's a cheating fuckboy, or he's not happy in his current relationship. If it's the first, shut him down rudely. If it's the second, stay aloof until he's single.

Maybe what she thinks is flirting is really just him being nice to a coworker.

if he was trying to cheat he wouldn't have told her he had a gf

This. So much yes. Friendliness is not flirting and we really need to change society's viewpoint/mindset on this. Twice, at work, I was being FRIENDLY to a customer. And, both times, a shift asked me if I was flirting. No, I wasn't flirting. It's called being friendly and, just because I am a single woman and he is a man whose relationship status is unknown, does mean my friendly conversation is flirting and that mindset needs to change. When a man and a woman converse, the first thought should not be flirting.

Nice Guy syndrome can be truly devastating.

Less awkward if you kissed him then found out!

okayy... 1. he offers to drive me home (and often pick me up) every time we work together 2. our coworkers think it's definitely flirting, he treats me differently than everyone else, dirty innuendo, is more physical with me. everyone says it is flirting so i take that because i'm not really good with social cues. 3. i now know he has a girlfriend and they're very cute together, i will not interfere 4. it isn't really that big of a deal, i just don't handle rejection (or anything of the like) in a...healthy way

While it does sound like it's more in flirting territory, it's possible he just thinks of a friend and feels, like, kinship with you and that's just his way of being a friend and joking around the like. Next time you think someone might be flirting with you, I recommend (politely/delicately) asking them if they are or not, instead of *just* trusting the opinions of others. And it's good that you'll be working to not interfere in their relationship - it's not uncommon that some people just wouldn't care that they're in one - so you have my respect for that. Additionally, if he still continues to treat you like this and do those same things, maybe he's just not aware it's flirt-like and maybe he could benefit from being aware of the demeanor for it, since he obviously wants to remain loyal to his girlfriend?

I've had a similar situation where I fancied someone at work and were about to ask them out, but luckily found out they were married before I made a fool out of myself (we weren't friends at that point yet and as the wife doesn't work in the company, we've got hot desks etc., it just hadn't come up. It would've definitely been awkward had I/you not found out in advance. Also, I'm really hoping 'asking to kiss me' is meant in a tease kind of way and not outright 'can you please kiss me', because that would've been an awful idea altogether. Just go for the kiss yourself in this scenario. I also agree on the 'was he really flirting' or was he just being polite/nice/friendly or has a slightly dirty sense of humour and acts the same around everyone and you just really wanted it to be just you and read more into it than there was? Either way, you know he's off limits now and unfortunately that's that.
