Is this a good thing?

Me and a coworker have this thing where we just make eye contact with a smile every time we see each other. Recently nothing has really been said, as we are both shy and introverted. We have exchanged words before though.

I kinda like her, not sure how she feels about me?

Making friendly eye contact and smiling is generally a positive sign, but it's hard to say definitively if your coworker has any romantic interest based on that alone. Here are some things to consider:

• Friendly smiles and eye contact are a basic form of social acknowledgement and indicate a certain level of comfort and positivity in your interactions so far. This is a good foundation.

• However, smiling and making eye contact can also simply mean she sees you as a friendly coworker and nothing more. More overt signs would be needed to indicate potential romantic interest.

• The fact that you are both shy and introverted could explain the lack of deeper conversation. Some people find it hard to move a friendly dynamic to a more personal level due to shyness.

• You mentioning that you "kinda like her" but aren't sure how she feels suggests there may not be clear enough signals yet for you to gauge her intentions. More interaction would be needed.

• Seeking opportunities to have some brief, low-pressure conversations with her could help you gauge her interest level. Even asking how her day is going or commenting on a shared interest could be a start.

• If conversations go well and she seems receptive, you could consider asking her out for coffee (in a low-pressure, casual way) to get to know each other better outside of work.

In summary, friendly eye contact and smiles are a positive starting point, but not necessarily an indication of romantic interest on their own. Seeking opportunities for some low-key conversations and interactions could help you gauge her feelings and determine appropriate next steps. But for now, I'd say you don't have enough information either way.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

She could like you or she could not. This happens a lot for me at school just random eye contact when I don’t even mean to look in someone’s direction we just happen to make eye contact. Could be either or bro.
