Does my female coworker likes me or what? Need advice?

[Anonymous]

We've known each other for 7 months (she has a boyfriend), she shares her food, we ate together, she even tickles me everyday and then one day she got moody , she became silent but talks to everyone in the office except me, like i dont even exist. So i got frustrated i dont know what to do since i have no experience how to handle that situation, i have no girlfriend since birth, so i became distant to her for 2 weeks ( very awkward) ... But this past few days she just sat beside me at the cafeteria, we had a casual conversation but never mention why are we not talking to each other for the past few weeks.

This where i need advice because everything is changing
And i dont want to assume that she likes me. But everyday is a bit more confusing she's behaving different,

-When She asks me if i already ate, if not she insist that we eat together.
-she has this touch that rubs my arm for a second
-our legs brush often when im on her desk or in a meeting
-the tickles became tripled
-she invited me last night to have dinner before we go home
-now she's asking me if i want to go with her this Saturday to a mall
- a lot of eye contact (uuggh)


But she has a boyfriend (5years)

She’s probably just being friendly, then if it seems like you’re being flirty or suggestive, she backs off out of respect for her relationship. I know that can seem confusing, and it’s not really fair to you, especially if you like her. So what I would do in your position is create some space between you two. Don’t engage in all the tickling or whatnot, and set some boundaries.

If it could help, maybe try adjusting your perspective a bit. I understand it’s hard, especially if you’ve never had a girlfriend or experiences with women so the attention is nice. However, she’s in a relationship and look how she’s behaving. If she were with you, then you’d get the exact same treatment and never be able to trust her because you’ve experienced first hand how she carries on with men. To me that is a huge deal breaker and a bit of motivation not to engage.

Maybe a minor crush. Maybe her boyfriend has been neglecting her and you're her new toy. Maybe that but she's looking for someone else now. Lots of possibilities, but I'd keep it friendly while she has a boyfriend.

Nope. I mean she likes you AS A FRIEND. That's it. You might as well be a woman to her.
