If a female coworker uses emojis in response to a work email that you have sent is she flirting?

[Apope16]

Let's say the girl is in her late 20's.

Let us say this email is sent in response to a congrats email on a work project.

Yes

No

Either or Or. It depends on the person

[BipBipLeddus]

Not really. With how cynical the world is today it's easy to mistake genuine appreciation for sarcasm in text. Emojis help clear the air in that regard.

[LuckyDutchman]

Depends if she is generally a very outgoing person towards everyone. Does seem a bit suspicious tho I get where you're coming from

[Apope16]

She is typically shy. haha. She's very polite and classy. Quite frankly, very religiously Christian. But she is not the outgoing and confident girl who will just go up and talk to the guys.

[LuckyDutchman]

Right, then yeah she at least thinks you're a great person. She either wants to be good friends or something more but I'm sure she's considering it. I don't know have a look at what girls say 😂

[Apope16]

Thanks a lot!

[Apope16]

She does hug me whenever she sees me. I don't think she hugs any other coworkers. She also hugs me in front of other coworkers which makes me a bit uncomfortable because I want to leave my lady options open.

[LuckyDutchman]

Hahaha, well then I have new advice. What kind of hug is it? Cuz I've had many girls hug me as a friend but some that wanted more and you can tell dude. I've always learnt hugs don't lie. What kind of hug? Does it take longer than a friendly one? How tight does she actually hold you? If it's really loose and quite quick there's a possibility it's friendly and just thinks you're a nice guy. If it's anything more than that well, she thinks of you as something more. What do you think? Does she hug you like a normal friend would?

[LuckyDutchman]

Especially when she's a shy person and feels like it's worth Hugging you over the potential embarassment a coworker will mention something

[Apope16]

Thanks a lot man. We have a past history of acknowledging attraction but that was 7 years ago. Nows she's back. She once said she hated me when I chose someone else.

How does she hug me? Well... its awkward at work. In front of my female boss she hugged me with her arms wrapped around my neck. It forced my hands to be around her waist. Then her back was arched with her pelvis pushed in toward my pelvis.

But maybe she was just friendly and did this cause she's shorter?

Fyi. She came in for a hug 3 days ago in the cafeteria before a meeting. I forced her into a side hug but she put her hand around my waist. Im trying to not have all the ladies talk about me. I admit if we were alone I might kiss her.. on accident of course...

[LuckyDutchman]

Hahahah, "on accident of course" I think you're enjoying this a little more you like to admit. I have my suspicions she likes you, especially if she's shorter and going for the higher hug as girls generally like that the best, and the pelvis thing could also be giving you a taste of the merchandise 😜😜😜 (jk jk) I think it looks like it's pretty obvious and its up to you to decide what to do with it.

You could open an adult conversation and say you'd like to date her, but you want to take it slow and be really casual so you have your "lady options" open. She seems to really like you if she does dude and that's not something everyone will do. I wish you the best of luck with your situation and let me know what you did/ what happenes!

[Apope16]

Thanks a lot! I want to keep flirting with her until she rips my clothes off. I dont want to ask her out. I prefer friends with benefits or dating multiple people. I have a date with a different chic this week.

[LuckyDutchman]

Well, Doing better than me atm 😂 she might need a little more confirmation first as I understood earlier she's quite a religious and respectable women right?

[SocksRUs]

Be careful, you may end up in some #metoo bullshit.

[Apope16]

hahaha! yep!

[Cursewords]

People dying all over the world and this 30 year old is wondering whether or not his freaking coworker is flirting because she sent a fucking smiley face... We're doomed.

[Apope16]

Usually I walk and chew gum at the same time.

[Apope16]

I am an activist. I help people in my nonprofit work. And I have run for political office. And yet you sound like a judgmental dude who judges people based on a single question?

[Cursewords]

And you sound like a social cripple if you think that someone sending a smiley face is fucking flirting. Jesus Christ.

[Apope16]

Chillax bro. Did you read the message? She didn't just send a smiley face. She made suggestions about wanting to hug me in a work email WITH the smiley face. Please tell me if thats normal.

Has a female coworker talked about hugging YOU in a work email? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Adream]

I'd say you ask to her how she responds to them, if it's just to you then yes.

[cupidkisses]

Not always flirting.
