Girls, Can you tell when a guy likes you?

[Anonymous]

Give a reason or few reasons how you do know. Or are guys tough to read or understand? Assuming he doesn’t hit on you or ask you for your number.

Ik when a guy shows interest, the problem is I don't know when a guy truly likes me and I simply assume they're just looking for fun.

how do you when a guy shows "interest" and you can separate interest on a romantic level or friendship.

By interest I mean they look like they want something, I know what friendship looks like. They just treat you in a more special way and act different, that's how I know.

Hmm I probably shouldn’t help female coworkers then lol. They might think ewww he likes me?

Not like that silly. Is great to have good relationships with men, when they're sweet, helpful, I know what a male friend is and when a guy's looking for something. A friend won't look at you in certain way, or flirt with you, a friend treats you like a sister.

I find it odd to pursue girls at work, because if she doesn't like me back then it becomes an awkward place to work at. For example, I know a girl I work with, she'll say hi with a big smile on her face one day but seem standoffish the next and not say anything, I do think she's pretty but I can't pursue her that way. Plus, I plan to leave the company by next summer.

Sometimes it might be uncomfortable to have a normal relationship after knowing someone you see daily likes you, but it depends mostly on the respect and maturity level of you both. If she says no, and you accept that and treat her normally, then it's good from you. And if she doesn't like you and keeps treating you normally, good. It might happen that a girl gets far from you after rejecting you, but if you were always respectful then it's not your problem and you shouldn't feel anything about it. That happens when a girl is immature or is insecure/scared for past experiences.

Also, back to your topic. Just ask her out, you don't lose anything.
