okay while she def is being manipulative. I want you to be in the guys shoes for a moment. You ahve this girl you've fallen head over heels for, and you learn that, what the fuck? she's been pretending to be someone else at work... and that someone, is the person you've been going to to ask about.. well.. her...Or, she's a sucker for hearing herself being talked about lovingly, and she just couldn't help herself from keeping up the charade because she enjoyed it so much??

Like, lets be real, if you're in love with this lass, that's a plus for you. You now know for a fact she knows just how much you love her, and you can be sure that all the advice you got was correct advice. And what is the negative, oh you didn't get to flirt at work? Boohoo, Realistically no one cares if they were manipulated by the person they love, especially not for being manipulated for such a silly reason. It'd be different if she was flirt with him as her work personality and trying to make him fall for her work persona as a test of loyalty, because that'd be messed up. but no, she's actually just using the persona as a way to give him hints without being upfront.
