Search Results: rejected but she was hesitant

I like my boss. He is such a sweetheart! He makes eye contact when we talk, laughs/jokes with me, tries to invite me to work outings (which I usually avoid unless they're mandatory), etc. I know he's my boss, but he makes it a point to let me know he'll accept a call for help at any time of the day and wants me to call him when I'm feeling down... I joked about the latter when he first suggested it and accidentally chuckled in a sultry way, which he seemed to do in return? I felt there was some "tension" between us at that time... but that could have been my own "tension" talking.

I love that he's respectful to women regardless of looks, and I also realize that he might not be into me and is just being kind. DGMW, I'm not ugly... but I'm very aware that I'm not everyone's cup of tea... I've been reminded of that multiple times since I was young. Penelope/Colin relationships, especially ones where Pen looks more like Kate or Lady Danbury than Daphne or Queen Charlotte, are uncommon. I've also noticed my coworkers (mostly the women) acting funny towards me ever since this one time he told me he liked my hair. I can't tell when I'm liked because it's so few and far between, so I don't know if they're seeing something I'm not or just being weird... don't men compliment hair?

I made the mistake of dating a coworker while we worked together years ago; I wouldn't dare pursue a relationship with a coworker now. I've also been rejected by every guy I've ever confessed to, so I'm hesitant to put myself out there. I want him to make the first move, but I'm also worried, if he feels the same way, that he's too scared to say anything to me... so I want to try to "guide" him to me. I told him a few months back that I wanted him to "not be a stranger" with me after I quit, and he's said I should let him know when I'm quitting. "Tension" made me feel he was saying it in that sort of way, and I'm thinking of revisiting that convo when I tell him I'm quitting.

So a female friend of mine (has a boyfriend) has been flirting with a male friend of mine (single) for quite some time I think. The things she's done are:

- Kiss him on the cheek multiple times when out (drunk)
- gives him more hugs than others when out drinking
- told him he was perfect height for her
- Offered him a zip of her drink multiple times when out drinking, but no one else
- Complimented his eyes
- Put her finger in his mouth while drunk
- Snuggled his hair
- told him he was cute
- been hesitant to join longer trips, but suddenly become interested when told he was joining as well. She initially rejected the trip, but was suddenly interested when told she and him would be sharing a room and bed alone (the trip was cancelled in the end). Later when asked if she wanted to join a similar trip without him she wasn't interested.

Most of these things have happened in front of friends (but not her boyfriend). What do you think it is? Am I crazy or is this happening?
