Can't tell if he likes me or hates me?

I find my co worker VERY attractive, but he acts really weird around me. His eyes will land on me and dart quickly away when we make eye contact - usually guys hold eye contact if they're into me. He has done a few little things over the weeks, like mention my "boyfriend" like testing if I'd say I'm single, or grabbing my hand to see my tattoo. Every once and a while he will come up to me when I'm alone, very awkwardly, then ask me a question or how I've been - we don't usually talk much.

His eye contact really throws me off- usually guys can't stop staring at a girl he's into, but he seems to act like I'm invisible sometimes. Other times, He will look over for longer than two seconds but it's rare.

I don't understand? I'm a pretty girl so It's not like I'm a monster showing interest or something. What's his deal?

no guys who are shy have a hard time sustaining eye contact. It may be he doesn't find you attractive, or he is attracted and can't keep looking.

u probably have to make the move, and it probably won't work cause he isn't confident and mature. why don't you just back off your emotions a bit and just use this as a lesson in life to learn from, to practice (that takes the pressure off mentally). and just go work inot his world by talking and see what he thinks. ask his opinion about something you don't really care about...

That's obviously a shy guy who likes you but doesn't know how to express his feelings.
You should directly tell him that you like him.
I don't understand why girls don't do this and always expect guys to do it.
If he is shy he won't do that, because he fears rejection, and especially in a work environment a rejection is dangerous, because you see each other all the time.

He likes you

It's complicated in a work situation, so he is cautious, and it's possible he would never want to be involved with AANYONE at work, you kno.
