I have a female coworker who is slowly trying to get me to open up to her. I have no problems working with everybody else except this female coworker. When she sees me, she always says hi, scott04sa22 every time. Then recently she asked me how I was doing. Yes, I like her, and I'm sure she knows i like her from my nervous behavior when I'm around her, and she knows I've recently broken up with my ex-girlfriend. going through this co-worker behavior. This female coworker has come to work on her days off when I happened to be working. She has been quiet from time to time when I'm around her. Again, she is trying to get me to opened up her. I also have problems saying her name because of my nervousness. What's holding me back is, of course, she's a coworker, and I don't date coworkers, and I'm still recovering from my breakup. If I do risk pursuing her and my career, my other problems are not matching, rejections and I don't want to get hurt again like my ex-girlfriend did to me recently.

Maybe she’s just being friendly and nice. We have to be professional and cordial at work that being nice sometimes might give the wrong impression of being flirtatious and on top of that you may be misreading her signals and actions. And if you do make a move, she might think it’s inappropriate and there goes your career. Sorry about your ex. You will get better. But jumping into another one with a co worker? No.

Well, if I'm your co worker and you reject me because of that I'll be super sad

[Pinay_ako]

@Tstrbrainer I got rejected

[Tstrbrainer]

Not by me 😉

Thanks for MHO

Listen, keep it professional. They're not paying you a salary to flirt with your co-workers or talk about your personal life. Do your job, be professional and treat her like you treat any other co-worker.

I do want everything on professional levels at work. It's obvious she knows that like her from my nervous behaviors, and it's embarrassing sometimes 😔

Sometimes it's the heart, sometimes it's the head.
In case you feel like you've got something to lose... keep it professional.
In case you feel like things have got a chance outside of work, give it a go.
Honestly, I believe in most cases... a first date is enough to get rid of the feelings 😂

I’m with you on this one, I’d leave the romance for outside of work. You could be right about your observations but god forbid you read her wrong, having to see her after a rejection would be awkward especially if this is a job you want to stay and grow at.

A wise old Sicilian auntie once told me "Don't Shit Where You Eat." Passing that little nugget of wisdom on to you. Don't commingle with coworkers or you'll end up getting slapped with a lawsuit, fired, etc.

"But I'm a married man" - some the office humour lol 😂😆 Ah wells, sir, I for one just stay single and I do not flirt at work. I clock in, I clock out. Work 😁

[itsclearlynicholas]

No advice ,- head down, work stays work, no chit chat lol mm 😐😐😐

Your on the rebound from your previous relationship. Ask yourself do you really like her? Or are you just looking for someone to fill in the void?

Don't do ot. It's a trap.
