Could she be actually interested?

There’s this coworker I started working with a few weeks ago. Before I never had worked with her or talked to her much. Like she started before me but a month in after I started working she had family issues and left for 5 months and just came back. Since she’s back she’s been helping me with my work because I’ve got a lot (our boss wanted her to help me). I’ve trained her on stuff and just message her now and then that’s it’s going okay/if she needs help. Since then she often sends me flirty emojis in messages when it’s just work I’m messaging about or regular talk. Like the smiley face with hearts and the sparkling heart one. When we talk about work the convo often moves to small talk. I wasn’t sure/didn’t think much of it, things like in the workplace can turn bad/get really awkward. Yesterday we were chatting though she mentioned something how two other workers were together I was like oh interesting. Then she randomly asked me out of the blue in a somewhat curious tone if I had a girlfriend. I said no and she said why. She then asked if I had been married before etc. could she be interested? My other coworker (who’s a girl) often mentions to me that she seems like she likes me and she said she isn’t as nice to her as she is to me and keeps giggling about it. At first I just thought the emojis were friendly and thought my coworker was misreading it but when she asked that I’m not sure now lol.

It kinda sounds like she might be interested, dude. Sending flirty emojis and asking if you have a girlfriend out of nowhere are usually signs a girl is feeling you.

She went out of her way to come say hi when she got back too, so I doubt she'd do all that if she wasn't at least a little into you. Your other coworker noticing it too makes it seem even more that way.

I'd say play it cool for now at work, but you could try asking her to grab lunch just you two sometime and see how it goes. Feel things out more in a low-key setting.

If she's giggly and touchy or keeps the conversation flowing easy, she's probably into you. A lot of girls won't make the first move, so you gotta take a chance! Just be chill about it and make sure not to mess things up at work if she's not feeling it.

But seems like there could be something there man. Never know til you try. Just play it smooth, see how lunch goes, and report back to me after! I say go for it.

Those questions are not showing interested. She is not attracted to you but was curious about your story.
